Their omission in the list of games isn't an oversight, they are playing an FCS team, and therefore ineligible to be picked this week.

If you picked Illinois last week, it's probably worth the risk to pick Rutgers this week. Since I didn't and they play each other later this year, I'm saving both for when they face each other and hope this competition doesn't last to the BigTen Championship weekend. After looking at the Big Ten schedule, every other week has a fairly obvious pick - primarily against each of them, of course.

Surprisingly, this left me to with Michigan for this week.

da Scarlet Knights are currently a 5-point favorite so if not now then when do u pick 'em?

Because of that, give me Rutgers

The big question for me this week is whether I a prefer (if I am somehow still around) picking Rutgers or Purdue in their game vs. each other later in the season.  This is the only other week I feel remotely good about picking the other.  Every one else seem to be going Rutgers, so I'll go

Purdue

Yeah, looking at Rutgers and Purdue's schedule, I think this is the safer bet.

Gimme Rutgers.

Meh.  I wasn't at all confident in them, but this was the only game you could pick them and be a tiny bit hopeful.  They play an FCS team and @Illinois.  At best Rutgers is 2-10 this year

Except you just picked one of the best teams in the B1G West too early.  Brohm Squad!

How many are still left?

Funny.  I decided I liked Rutgers slightly better than Purdue and that saved me from picking Rutgers this week :).  Better lucky than good.

By quick count, 7.
This happened a couple years ago, and people were asking about a reboot if it ended too soon, and then the few remaining people made it a game into November.
I'd say if it ends before the calendar turns, we'll figure something out.

I'm all for a second chance losers pool! 

We could make it spicy, and even allow all in for those remaining, starting say Oct 15th, and you have to pick 2 teams per week.
