With the virtual 4 way tie atop the Big Ten standings, every team needs certain things to happen outside of what they do, to earn the Rose Bowl berth. Wisconsin and Michigan State are probably in the best shape, but both need something to happen.
Assuming no weird surprises, like Purdue beating Wisconsin or something, here's what each team needs to have happen:
Wisconsin needs to win out and have Michigan State lose again. Or finish in a 3 way tie with MSU and OSU and hope they have the highest BCS ranking.
Michigan State needs to win out and have Wisconsin win out and Iowa beat Ohio State. Or have the highest BCS ranking in a tie with OSU and Wisconsin.
Iowa needs to win out and have Wisconsin lose (best shot is @ Michigan on 11/20).
Ohio State needs to win out and have both Wisconsin and Michigan State lose or end in 2 way tie with Michigan State or 3 way tie with MSU and Wisc and finish higher in the BCS standings.
The funny thing is all teams control their destiny to win a co-Big Ten Championship, but again need things to fall in place to get to the Rose Bowl.
