B1G Survivor 2019 Week 8

Thomas J. Russo-USA TODAY Sports

Fun Wisconsin game yesterday, but not so fun hangover right now.

Week 7 of B1G Survivor saw quite the variation in pick distribution. Of the twelve B1G teams in action, eight were used by various members of the remaining field. We had two "thunderdome" matches; Nebraska vs Minnesota was a one-on-one battle, while Maryland vs Purdue was a four vs two affair. There were six total knockouts this week: Four Maryland, one Nebraska, and one no-show. Here is the remaining field of 44:

Note/reminder: Week 10 (November 2nd) will be a bye week for the competition. No picks will be made that week

Another note/reminder: Here are the tiebreakers, in the event that all remaining contestants get knocked out the same week (initially posted Week 1):

1. Best combined winning %age of teams you haven't used

2. Strength of Victory (non-FBS teams' records get converted to "0-for"

3. Whoever got their loser pick in first

If we make it all the way to championship week, the tiebreakers will be slightly different, but will follow the same format as last year. You can refer to the Week 12 post from last year if you're curious about it now.

Here is the Week 8 schedule. All games are on Saturday unless otherwise noted

Ohio St @ Northwestern (Friday)

Minnesota @ Rutgers

Wisconsin @ Illinois

Purdue @ Iowa

Indiana @ Maryland

Michigan @ Penn St

My Week 8 pick: The Iowa Hawkeyes
