We must win one of the last two regular season games
@ Wisconsin and @ Nebraska
Otherwise it will be quite difficult to get the coveted 6 seed in the BTT.
If Minnesota and Ohio State win their last two and we lose both, they will finish ahead of us and we will probably finish in 8th place with all three of us tied with a 10-10 record. Since we lost to both teams only playing them once this season they finish ahead of us.
Minnesota plays Purdue at home and @ Maryland
Ohio State plays at NW and Wisconsin @ home
The Gophers will be lucky to win one
Ohio State will be lucky to beat the Badgers in Columbus
If we finish 10-10 in the conference that will exceed everyone's expectations except for a few diehard loyalists who should be congratulated for their excellent guesswork. The conference this season has been bloody and brutal. To finish with ten or more wins is very good despite the luster being scraped off, in embarrassing fashion, against Ohio State and Rutgers.
All we have to do is win one game. That doesn't look very positive right now.
I really don't believe we will emerge victorious at Madison.
Nebraska has had a rather rugged last few games:
@ Penn State, Purdue in Lincoln and @ Michigan and @ Michigan State. They might be battered and bruised when we arrive next Sunday.
