Kudos to BOB, Squonk, BRRLY1, Horsefixer, and Bitten! Nice job guys. I missed it completely. Rest assured, just like any athlete that understands what needs to be done when he/she loses. All I can say is WATCH YOU BACK!!!!

Well, knowing what needs to be done is rather important. Perhaps you could start by picking your teams.

Oh I know, you're a late bloomer and will sneak em in there later this week.

My picks for week #5..
Penn St., Michigan St., Minnesota, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Ohio St., Michigan, Notre Dame.

Why does this edit keep merging with the previous post when I post it as a separate thread?

I predict that John will either win the Iowa vs Wisconsin game, or he will lose it. 

[JimD 3,345]

We are definitely down to the point where we will have to make some "off the wall" picks and hope you win those in order to advance in the standings. The first several weeks is where you want to do well and use that advantage to help carry you through some of the inevitable upsets that will occur. So hat's off to you guys that picked em right early on. I wasn't one of you so it only gets tougher for me from here on out. You can always tell the guys who lagged behind early by their picks later on. They get a little crazy.

[Racinbob 10,295]

Come on Jim, fess up. You're just sandbagging to make your comeback more dramatic 

[JimD 3,345]

You're right Bob, I got behind filling my sandbags this summer with all the in house downtime I had. But that downtime gave me time to think, and that's never a good thing. I remember when this thread was Big 10 only. Now we're mucking it up adding another non conference team to the mix.   You guys are going the wrong way. Even as it was it wasn't truly about just the Big 10 with all those non conference slaughterhouse games at the beginning of the season. If you want to tighten this thing up and find out who really knows how to pick em, start in week five after the non con b s over and the real race is on. If you want it to be Big 10 make it Big 10 all the way. Even as it is the Notre Dame picks shouldn't count if they aren't Big 10 games, just sayin". Or what the hell, for next year let's add Alabama, that should make some folks happy.

 

[Brrly1 1,146]

But you see you stand a 50% chance as do I this will just be another plus in my picks. Just another lose for you. I'll take my chance with the Hawkeyes but it's like who didn't know that. Notre Dame pick really isn't that big of deal. If they were to join a conference I have to feel it would be the Big Ten.                               As always, Go Hawkeyes!!!!!!                                 

[stevasaurus 22,231]

If Notre Dame loses to Clemson this week...I'm all for leaving them in the pool.  

[JimD 3,345]

If Notre Dame loses to Clemson this week...I'm all for leaving them in the pool.  

So if they win, you'll throw em out, right?
 

[Racinbob 10,295]

Steve, my vote goes for taking them out, win or lose.

[Brrly1 1,146]

Well if your going to remove do it now. No bs around, oh let's see if they win, WHAT, I like following them actually. Like I say if going to remove please do it now. They play the game win or lose they stay

[papaglide 541]

If we are talking about teams that SHOULD be in the Big Ten, then by all means keep them in. Or we can only pick teams that are original Big Ten teams, before they became the Big Eleven or Big Thirteen or whatever the hell they have now. It doesn't matter to me whatever gets decided, I will still end up in the middle as in average! 

PSU, MSU, OSU, Michigan, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Northwestern, and NO-TRE DAME.  Thank you John Saunders...hater.

Even if they are out can we still pick them?

Bob, don't take this seriously. I seem to have lost my partner in crime. I set out with Steve to stir the pot and get some excitement going in here and he was going to help with that but he must be otherwise occupied. I think Chris hid all his Rock and Rye awhile back and he must have found it. It could be weeks before we hear from him again. Lighten up fellas, nobody's going anywhere.
