That's correct assuming Iowa and Wisky have the same conference record. If Iowa wins out and Badgers only lose to Hawks, they go to B1G title game.

Ah really, shitick. Go Nebby I guess! I would like to see them give the Badgers a loss.

exactly what I've been trying to say round these parts the last week. I honestly was just about to concede being incorrect and that would have been unfathomable

Damn it! I always get so close.
Back in my youth some buddies and I went to sneak in the Country Club pool one night for a late night swim and ended up he cops were staking it out. They chased us and I got one latched on me chasing me thru a hay field. Anyway I finally gave up and walking back to the squad car, he states "Boy, if you would have ran another 10ft, I would have given up." Would have saved my dad a trip to the cop shop at 11:30 at night if I would have just kept going!
Made me think of that story.

I literally was in the middle of typing a "man, I can't believe I didn't know that, what a dummy" response and then I got a lil notification that there was a new post in the thread and I backed out and looked at it. So close. I hate Nebraska - they are probably going to lose any way... but IMO - if we wanna have any meaningful football over the next couple of months, I'm pulling for em.

absolutely - but with TOSU still on the schedule, it's a tall order - I have 0 doubt that Nebraska is gonna lose more games, Wisconsin - not so much. They win Saturday and it's gonna be a pretty insurmountable lead they have the rest of the league.

yeah, WU's remaining tough games after this week would be IA and UM, back to back with IA first. Many, WUs has a schedule tailor made to win the west. But if kNU wins, they still have jNW, OSU, IA, PSU and MN. Iowa would only need to win out and win the west and 7-2.

That would be lovely. Provided Iowa wins most of theirs.
How can you say Iowa controls its own destiny when they are two games back in the loss column.
Do you actually follow sports????
All the games count not just the games against your division opponents.
All the games so the hawks are two games behind Wisky and Nebby.
All the games count for the division.

Nope. Nobody is as smart as you.
Did you even read the rest. YOu would understand the logic.
Not trying to say I am some football genius but these divisions have been in play for quite a few years and there is only one set of W-L columns which is all Big Ten games. Same way in NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL and other Power 5 conferences with divisions.
The hawks would have to play lights out on offense and get some breaks to lose none or only one game the rest of the way. Beating Wisky is worth 1.5 wins so crazier things have happened. But I never thought I would see 12-0 in my lifetime.
I expect at best the hawks will have 2 losses, probably 4 or 5, but it would be awesome even if they lose just one more. Get that offense moving and since they have nothing to lose now just open it up.
Well PSU stong win helped maybe take some luster from the kittie cats, a Sparty win makes the hawks two losses not so bad, ISU win now looks much better (I can see OU looking ahead in the first half but they lost it in the second half), Purdue and Minny is a turnover error prone mess but still pulling for Minny to lose and go to 0-2,
Of course Iowa has to keep on winning to get a good bowl, etc.

Well MSU went into the big house and won although that can be because Mich is not that great.
