Big Ten Pick ‘Em (Week 5)

Unfortunately, no time for Big Ten Power Rankings this week. Instead, I’ll quickly put up my postings for this week’s Big Ten Pick ‘Em challenge sponsored by Gopher Nation. Here are the standings so far after five weeks, as you can see, I’m representing the PSU blogosphere pretty well thus far.

Big Ten Pick ‘Em (Week 1)

I originally was going to do a quick Akron preview but soon realized how unmotivated I was to write up a bunch of regurgitated facts that the other PSU bloggers have already covered. Instead, I’ll just go ahead and do a quick run-down on my picks for the triumphant return of the Big Ten Bloggers’ [...]

Big Ten Blogger Pick ‘Em (Bowl Game Edition)

As I said before, the Big Ten bowls would be getting their own special coverage because the BTB pick ‘em contest extends into to the bowl season. This time around, the stakes are at their absolute highest as each correct pick is now worth 5 points as opposed to 3 for regular season conference matchups. [...]

Big Ten Blogger Pick ‘Em (Week 13)

Apologies for not posting my picks on here last week, I’m gonna blame it on the hangover from the Iowa loss.  Additionally, Gopher Nation, the architect of this whole business, is having issues with updating the standings so that will have to wait as well but I’ll have them up whenever they are released.
Moving on [...]

BTB Pick ‘Em/Blue White Roundtable Extravaganza

Time for an HHV first: Combining my picks for the Big Ten games (which thus far, are looking “meh”) with some quick answers for the Blue-White Roundtable.
First, let’s get the picks out of the way…

Ohio State vs Northwestern – OSU has had two weeks to prepare and Northwestern is now down to its 3rd string [...]

BTB Pick ‘Em (Week 10)

Hope everyone had a nice Halloween. I threw together my outfit in the last second and transformed myself into “The Dude” from The Big Lebowski. Much like the Dude, I was a rather lazy bum getting my picks up for this weekend in time and thus, am putting them up now with the early [...]

Big Ten Blogger Pick ‘Em (Week 8)

For those of you may be wondering why there’s no “Better Know An Opponent” segment this week:  To be quite frank with you, The Nittany Line’s preview pretty much features the same thoughts/analysis I would’ve provided and there’s no point in me putting in the blood, sweat, and tears that go into a typical blog [...]

Big Ten Blogger Pick ‘Em (Week 7)

Apologies for not posting my predictions last week.  Anyway, here are the current standings.  As you can see, I’m carrying the torch for the PSU blogging community, being that I’m the only one within striking distance of the leader.

You know what they say: Better late than never.  Anyway, here are the standings thus far after 4 weeks of this competition.  Unfortunately, I took a bit of a hit after missing on an uncharacteristically high 3 picks last week:
