What is the college football season without a little friendly competition?
In order to spice up the Big Ten football season (as if interest really needs to be amped up…), several MSF contributors will be making their “Saturday selections” on a weekly basis.
These picks are brought to you by Urban Meyer’s mustache.
When the regular season comes to an end, the individual with the most points will be crowned champion.
Quickly, let’s run down the rules,
- Each player will pick the winner and final score for each game involving a Big Ten team.
- One point will be granted for each correct pick and two points for the correct team and correct score.
- The player with the most points at the end of the season will be the Midwest Sports Fans Big Ten picks winner
Is that easy enough? Good!
Now that the rules have been set and college football is here, let the selections commence!
