For the 4th consecutive year I am running a pick'em pool for members of the Big Ten Bloggers group. This year we have 22 participants and after week 1 below are the standings. For the ffun of it below the standings are the life-to-date standings.
In week 1 four of us were perfect to give ourselves an early lead. But this is a marathon, not a sprint and a lot of points can be made up in the bowl season.
