We've kind of fallen off on this board and didn't even have picks for last week. Starting this week and going for the rest of the reason, I'm going to try to keep track of results like you see on a lot of other boards. For all regular games, you get 1 point for each correct pick.

Important Rule Note: Bonus games are optional pick games. you get them right, you get 1 point. If you get it wrong, you get -1. So be careful picking. Any games involving Big Ten or future Big Ten teams played on a Thursday are automatically bonus pick games (I'm trying to give people extra time to post). There will also generally be one bonus pick game from another conference.

This weeks games:
Indiana @ Michigan State
Nebraska @ Purdue
Northwestern @ Wisconsin
Michigan @ Penn State
Virginia @Maryland

Bonus Game: (see rule above):
Rutgers @ Louisville
Oregon @ Washington

This is the game we have been waiting for. Time to shut everyone up Rutgers. Louisville isn't as good as everyone assumes and Rutgers is better than folks give them credit for. That has Game of the Week potential in my opinion. Can't wait.

Well it was closer than the spread dictated, but mostly it was just sloppy.

I agree Louisville is overrated (although the same is probably true of Ohio State). Wish you guys could have pulled that one off. Who's the most likely loss for them going forward? Central Florida? Cincinnati?

Rutgers was handed so many opportunities. Fate came to the rescue but Rutgers didn't take hold of it.

Nova really needs to work on his footwork in the pocket. The moment those Louisville guys came at him he just crumbled into a fetal position.

The reality is that Nova is not a good QB. He from time to time shows flashes of brilliance, but he has the opposite of "ice water in his veins."

UCF has the best shot at knocking off the Ville. Cincy probably with the 2nd best shot purely because of the rule that Tuberville must knock off 1 Top 10 team annually despite having a lackluster season overall.
