So here we are again. It's time for football. FINALLY. Rules are the same as always. Picking B1G games gets you points if you're correct but losing no points if you're wrong. I'll select a game of the week and that will be worth 2 points. Wild card games are +1 for correct and -1 for wrong. You aren't required to pick the wild card games.

Here's the link to the tracker.

Reminder, first game is today! Huge thanks and appreciation to TerpsNPhoenix for getting this started!

Looks like Schmolik was the only one to correctly pick Illinois over Nebraska. Very nicely done and congrats.

No man, you're all good! I can see your picks. Also, if anyone else wants to participate you are welcome to! One missed game is no B1G deal. The more the merrier

Bump! Last chance before the games really begin

ALL RIGHT!!!! GAMES HAPPENED! So now we have results.

STANDINGS

My take on the results...we (most of us) used the same method of picking. There were a few upset picks but not many. The non-conference picks were not kind to us, except for cubucks who went 4-0. Well done!
