Title: Big Ten Elimination Pool - Week 1
Post by: ELA on August 28, 2017, 11:04:31 AM: Everyone knows the rules by now right?

You pick one Big Ten team to win each week, straight up.

You cannot pick a team playing an FCS opponent (although that might not be an issue this year?)

You cannot pick a team twice over the course of the season

If you get wrong wrong, you are out.

If you miss a pick, you are out.

If everyone is eliminated in the same week, you stay in, but you DO NOT get that pick back. However if someone is eliminated in that week by failing to make a pick, they do not rejoin.

There are 14 teams, and 13 weeks, so if needed, the Big Ten CCG will be Week 14.

Picks must be posted prior to kick time listed.

Any questions, let me know.

Post by: ohio1317 on August 29, 2017, 11:17:33 PM: Always enjoy this game. Think I won it the first year, but never too well since. I like planning out the season even if that inevitably means something will happen early and throw me out. Looking through my early picks for this year I am picking against Maryland more than I would like (think they will be improving this year). My other big decision was to trust Rutgers or Purdue more. The only non-conference game I could pick for either of them was week 2 (one I-AA game and 3 other game between them they'll be underdogs in outside of week 2) so have to choose one of them to win next week and other one to win their match-up with each other. For now, leaning with Rutgers. For this week though...

Illlinois.

Gimme Illinois
Title: Re: Big Ten Elimination Pool - Week 1
Post by: jhetfield99 on August 31, 2017, 10:22:09 PM: and I truly think Ball St has a decent chance to win. It's why I stayed away. There was another on IL sched that was as favorable as this.
Title: Re: Big Ten Elimination Pool - Week 1
Post by: MichiFan87 on September 01, 2017, 12:00:10 AM: Glad I chose Minnesota, too, especially given how bad they looked against Buffalo tonight, so I wouldn't confidently pick them in any of their remaining games, now. I also think Ball State could be dangerous enough to beat Illinois.

Yeah, the only rule for each week is that your pick has to be in before whatever game you are picking

I started with MSU, and was saving Illinois for the Rutgers game. Switched. Also glad to have them out of the way.
