Iowa (10-2) vs Wisconsin (11-1)

That would be great but unless our defense actually shows up thats not gonna come close to happening. Way to be optimistic though!

I think we take down Michigan OR MSU (I don't see both), Minnesota, and Purdue (if they don't keep playing out of their minds like they did today). 9-3 best-case, 8-4 more likely.

That hail mary really hurt our 2 loss division championship possibilitiy. MSU schedule is the weakest of all the teams. Hate to say it, but we need Nebreska to beat them next week and Iowa also has to beat them or we have no chance of winning a tiebreaker in a 2 big ten loss scenario.

We control our own destiny. We only have one loss in Big Ten play. If we win out, we're in the CCG, no help required. I don't see that happening, but we don't need any help at this point. Overall record doesn't factor into who plays for the conference crown, and if we tied with MSU at 7-1, we'd go because we'd own the head-to-head tiebreaker.

Here's a scenario for us to go to Nebraska in a meaningless game Nebraska beats MSU. Iowa beats both Mich/MSU at home. Nebraska loses @michigan and @penn state. We would clinch legends division after Purdue game

yes that's why I said 2 loss big ten scenario

I'm talking about scenarios where we could lose one more game. Which if we win the division is probably the more likely way

[CAARHawk]

Right now I don't see UM beating OSU.

[thejumper5]

I went through it myself and I agree with the OP on every single game except OSU-Mich. I think OSU wins that game. Also, if all those picks are correct, Iowa will have the Big Ten title game berth wrapped up before the Hawks go to Lincoln. There would be a lot of really shocked people if that happened, but I wouldn't be among them.

EXACTLY

I don't even think it is a matter of the D showing up, but getting other guys up to speed.
