Year 5 of the Big Ten Bloggers pick'em. The numbers are down a bit, I think we had 20+ last year, but we've added an Iowa blog so we now have every school represented. Some fun facts about the BTB Blogger Pick'em...

There are seven blogs who have participated every year. TDG, Hammer and Rails, Lake the Posts, Buckeye Battle Cry - Jeff, Black Shoe Diaries - LBU, The Buckeye Blog and Crimson Quary.
Three of the four champions are represented this. Me (2007, 2009), Buckeye Battle Cry - Jeff (2007) and Big Red Network (2010). SB Nation Detroit (formerly Michigan Sports Center) won in 2008 and has been radio silent about participating this year.

The scoring is as follows.

1 point for a non-conference correct pick
