It will be fun playing for the spot in our league championship game. Non-conference losses & losses to teams in the other division are NOT as important as games vs. division foes. The SEC has had this spectacle for a decade now. Tie-breakers will be all we're talking about in November! It is possible that Iowa & Neb could enter week 13 with identical season records, yet the loser could go to the championship, rather than the winner. I love it! Or, Iowa could be 7-4 and Nebraska 9-2 entering their game, and a victory could clinch the championship game for the Hawks. The odds of a three-team tie at the end of the regular season (in either division) is highly likely.
Did I say tiebreakers? Iowa could lose to ISU, Pitt, and either PSU, Mich, or MSU and enter the Neb game with a chance to lose and still make the c.game. Or, both teams could enter week 12 tied for the lead, and if Iowa loses on the road to Purdue or Neb loses on the road to Michigan, winning that day after Thanksgiving game in Lincoln could allow the team with one more conference loss coming into the game to tie the other for the division championship & make the conf.champ.game by virtue of the tiebreaker of beating the other. There is at least a 50-50 chance the Legends division will have a 4-way tie entering the last regular season game of the season. I love it, I love it, I love it!
