Thought/suggestion for this:

The worst you can really be at these predictions in the long run is 50/50 (i.e. if you literally had no idea what any of this was, and just flipped a coin for every game, you’d hit 50% in the long run).

Thus, the penalty for a missed game should be half a win and half a loss instead of a full loss.
 
The problem with us beating Minnesota is that all of the pressure of making the NCAA Tournament will be gone for the season finale. That's would be highly atypical of the previous 3 seasons. You guys are quite the riverboat gamblers to think RU is going to allow us to breath easy this weekend.

I wish we could such problems. May we be smitten with boring late February games in this way and may we never recover.

No letting off the gas pedal…positioning, seeding, and momentum all matter

Caleb’s last game.
 
2/28
Iowa at Indiana.....Indiana
Michigan State at Nebraska.....MSU (excited to switch this pick)

3/1

Maryland at Ohio State.....Osu
Penn State at Northwestern.....Northwestern

3/2
Michigan at Illinois..... Illinois
Rutgers at Minnesota.....RUTGERS!
Purdue at Wisconsin.....Purdue

Weekend: 5-2
Season to Date: 84-40 (although based on comment from bac to someone else in last thread about submitting a pick a little late… I think I’m now 85-40. There was 1 game I submitted 30 minutes after it started so I’ve been just not counting it as W or L. It was sometime in late January/early February and was Minnesota on the road. Of course I wasn’t picking them to win!)
