NCAA Week 7 picks

I went 5-0 in Big ten play, and 3-0 outside it this week, giving me a 6-1 Big ten record and 14-4 outside big ten record.

Indiana @ Michigan St: Pick: Michigan St
Nebraska @ Purdue: Pick: Nebraska
Northwestern @ Wisconsin: Pick: Wisconsin
Michigan @ Penn St: Pick: Michigan

Outside the Big Ten
Oregon @ Washington: Pick: Oregon
Florida @ LSU: Pick: LSU
Oklahoma @ Texas: Pick: Oklahoma

Big Ten Standings: The legends division is still wide open, but the Ohio St victory over Northwestern will make it very difficult for any other team to overcome in the leaders division. For the Badgers to have any chance to make the Big ten championship game at this point they will have to run the table, have Michigan beat Ohio St, and one other team pull off a huge upset over the Buckeyes as well. Not holding my breath.  Northwestern sits at #5 in the legends this week, but I fully expect them to climb the ladder and make a run at winning that division.

I went out on a bit of a limb last week, going with Tennesee as my survivor pick, instead of Denver, which was the popular pick, electing to save Denver and the other elite teams for later in the year. It paid off and for a second straight week Im going with a non-elite team for my survivor pick
Pick: Rams
