Well, that was quite the Saturday of B1G football. I'm glad my team was off, and I could just sit back and enjoy all the craziness with minimal stress. My only worry was whether my survivor pick (Minnesota) would win, and I can't say I would have been all that broken up if Georgia Southern had held on.
Week 3 gave us quite a bit of action. In addition to 16 knockouts, those who picked Minnesota (31 of us) and PSU (one of us) had to sweat things out. Ten of you did not heed the warning re: the Fighting EMUs and paid the price. Three others got taken down by Temple's upset of the Terps. And finally, we had three no-shows, which pares the field down to the following 60:
