Congratulations to Whipples, our 2021 B1G Survivor Champion!

We started with a field of 102 contestants back in August, and went into Week 13 with four still alive. Fourth place goes to StateOfRutgers, as the pick of PSU over MSU didn´t pan out. We had three of our four remaining players make a successful Week 13 pick, but none of them had their last remaining team make it to the CCG.

So now we´re down to tiebreakers. First, we look at the overall records of the remaining contestants´ teams::

RTVF82 (OSU)

thegyufromy-wega (Nw)

Whipples (OSU)

Since Northwestern finished with a worse overall record than OSU, theguyfromy-wega finishes in Third place. Next, we go to SOV tiebreaker between RTVF82 and Whipples:

RTVF82´s picks´ opponents went 45-108, while Whipples´ went 56-96. This gives Whipples the Title, and puts RTVF82 in Second.

I had a couple of people ask for a breakdown of which teams knocked the most people out. First, we´ll do the breakdown of who got knocked out by which pick:

Iowa 17

No-show 17

Penn St 16

Illinois 16

Minnesota 8
