Has a team picked to win by 100% of PTW participants been swept before? I'm thinking it can't have happened often.

As far as I know, no team picked 100% in PTW had ever lost until today, leave alone being swept. Week 6 this year Ohio State over Nebraska at 92-1 could be the second biggest PTW upset in recent years. I believe the sole pick for Ohio State was by a Nebraska fan -- though likely a disgruntled fan at the time  . |

I intended to pick Nebraska and thought I had picked Nebraska. It wasn't until reviewing results later that night that I became aware of my error. I think I led that week heading into the Sunday matches, but too many upsets that day ended my chance of winning. |

No sure how to answer. I was disappointed when Nebraska lost the match to Ohio State. Then happy when I realized I had bumbled into being the only contestant to correctly pick the match. Then disappointed the next day when my error did not lead to a weekly win as I had anticipated the night before. |

This week's spoiler award also goes to Arizona State, who won when they were expected to lose (Oregon), and then lost when they were expected to win (Oregon State).

Count one more good from this -- you saved your team from the dubious record of being a team to be picked 100% in PTW and lost  ! Nobody saved Texas  . |
