I probably shouldn't bother with telling you all this. The people who are paying attention may poop on a brick or something. It's your choice, so maybe you want to keep it. But a lot of you (10) still have Ohio State. Ohio State has absolutely no chance of beating a Big Ten opponent this weekend. You might as well sell them and buy a team that has a chance to win this week (just remember that you cannot buy Michigan, Michigan State, or Purdue, yet). You can always buy Ohio State back next week, even if the team(s) you choose instead of Ohio State loses this week.

I needed to do that one time. If people forget, they'll lose interest. And I think that this could be a pretty cool game (despite that I obviously suck).

Michigan State 1-2
Minnesota 0-4
Northwestern 2-2

Sorry, let me try rewording this to fit what I'm trying to do.

First I have an extra point left over from before. 1pt

Then sell Iowa and MSU for 1pt each. 2pt

Ohio State is 3 points. I take my 3 points from selling MSU, Iowa and the extra and buy tOSU. 3pts

I have one point tied into Purdue which is 1pt so I keep Purdue which is a wash. 4 total points and now I have Ohio State (3) and Purdue (1).

Since Minnesota is worth (0), I'll also add Minnesota to give me these teams:

Ohio State (3), Purdue (1) Minnesota (0). If I understand the game correctly. If not which is possible, tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Can I keep all of my teams, and then also buy the SEC? That would be sweet... According to Mark May, the SEC is going to beat the Big 10 in about 20 different games in this weekend alone.

You're going to listen to advice from Mark May when you play a game invented by the one and only Zurp?
