Title: 2018 Big Ten Elimination Pool - Week 1
Post by: ELA on August 24, 2018, 10:25:41 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.

Guessing most picks will go in one of two directions.

ILL - INI

I think I too will have to go with Illinois.

This could be one of those years where 90% of the entrants get eliminated in the first week.

I was thinking the same thing but I went with Illinois anyway because their other two OOC games are WIU and USF.  WIU is not an option because they are FCS and USF will probably be favored over the Illini.  Illini conference home games are PSU, PU, MN, and IA and I wouldn't be confident picking them in any of those so this is it.  I figure if I survive this week I still have other opportunities to pick Rutgers.
