I would pick Purdue, but I can't, so I won't. I'm grounded.

It's a good option to get through to the next week.  I'm looking strongly at Northwestern though to see if I can steal a win this week. I'm not sure if there will be another chance.

Ok, gonna go with Northwestern.  Gotta take a risk now to have a chance to make it to the end.

You've just guaranteed PSU's first loss. :)

Got to admit, I am not super confident in this one and with only 3 players, maybe should go a different direction.  Mapped that out earlier though so I'll stick with it.

I knew better.  With only 3 left, I should not have been taking big risks (especially with Illinois, Indiana, and Rutgers already used)  and touchdown favorite or not, I didn't feel good with Northwestern.

SuperMario, well done.

ELA, thank you for running.

If you guys saw my attempt to make a pick last week, I’m not sure you’d throw out the well done, but appreciate it fellas.  Not sure we ever needed a double elimination before but this could have been the year for it.

this neat thing about double elimination is that no loss folks would still be in the lead and the double elimination feature might not even matter but its there just in case

Congrats to SuperMario!

I guess you could re-do the contest as you must pick a different team each week and then whoever has the most wins at the end of the year gets it.  So if someone does survive, they'd get the most points, while others could play the whole year and get 8 or 9 wins.  It would be a lot more work though.
