I mapped out every week this year again for the first time in awhile.  I hated avoiding picking Northwestern week 6, but I wanted them for a lighter week 8 (for available teams).  I betting this game not making it to the championship, so avoided Purdue entirely.  This week I have to go with the crowd though.

Rutgers is the worst “worst program” of any of the P4 conferences, by far.
