Bubble Popping Saturday

[storminspank]

Excited to see Iowa have the chance to pop Northwestern's Bubble once again.
Iowa can put them 7-11 in conference.

A 9-9 conference season would be fairly remarkable.

A 9-9 record would be unreal considering how good the league is this year.

if OSU didn't pop it a HAWK victory will destroy it, they will be in the same boat as needing to win out to get in

payback is a beeeeeeeetch

An Iowa win on Saturday would mean sole possession of 7th place vs tying with NW. Iowa could end up playing Illinois rather than Minnesota in the tournament, which I think might be better. Illinois has to play Michigan and @Wisconsin. Minnesota has to play Nebraska. Minnesota would move up to the 9th seed and Illinois would fall to the 10th if they lose both games.

Beat NW

If Iowa wins, here's what you have:

Iowa 17-14 (9-9), wins over 4 Top 25 teams, winners of 6 out of their last 9
Northwestern 17-13 (7-11), 1 win over a Top 25 team, losers of 5 out of their last 7.

No way does Northwestern sniff the tournament.

Illinois has the 9 seed wrapped up.
If they lose the rest and tie MN, they still win the tie-breaker because of their wins over MSU and OSU.
