Losers Bracket
7 contestants were eligible in Week 12. There was 1 non pick elimination, and 3 eliminations for wrong picks.
First, our overall champion RUready4Brazil got knocked out of the Losers bracket with an errant pick of Rutgers falling to Maryland. Another entrant made a good pick of Purdue losing to Penn State but paired it with a less fortunate pick of Washington losing to UCLA. Also, some clown picked Illinois to lose to Michigan State; that looked foolish a week ago and looks really foolish now.
All hail our final three:
vaudvillain advanced by picking Michigan State to lose to Illinois
HoustonBoiler and
Lions_Tigers_Wings_Oh_MI both correctly picked UCLA to lose to the Huskies.
1/3 participants (listed below in green) have made their final extra pick and will only need/be allowed to make one pick a week through the remainder of the contest.
2 entrants (listed below in white) still need to make an extra pick either this week or next week.
Revised Tie breakers were published Week 10. Please refer to the related article posted below if necessary.
As a reminder, you may pick against/have a team win for you a maximum of three times. Any team you successfully picked in the Winners’ pool counts as one bullet used (you may pick against them only 2 more times). Teams you picked against in the Winners bracket are not counted in the Losers bracket picks against. When you have picked against a team for a third time that team will appear spelled out, bolded, and italicized. This will indicate that you may then no longer pick against that team.
Here are the 3 contenders that are eligible, along with their (Teams NOT picked), [B1G teams you have collected wins from/picked against] ordered by Tie break 2 then alphabetically:
