Other than smashing the Badgers, we need Purdue to win and Iowa to lose, right?
Honestly, I'd love both, but the Axe matters more to me.Yes.
Nebby over Iowa
Purdue over Indy
We win the Axe.
Worst case if we win, we win the Axe with 8 wins and don't go to Indy.
Yes. It very much matters.Does the Purdue game really matter?
No it doesn’tYes. It very much matters.
You're wrong but I don't care to explain this tiebreaker for the 100th time.No it doesn’t

I suspect we would win a 4-way Minn-Pur-Wis-Iowa tie but would lose a 3-way Minn-Wis-Iowa tie. So we need Purdue to get to 6-3 and tie for first with us.Does the Purdue game really matter? Don't we just need Iowa to lose? (If we win)

Huh? We have to have better odds than Purdue. I'm not sure you know what the word contention means.Yes, which is why it was right to leave the Gophers out. They aren't in contention.
They're due for a big win! Iowa is perfect matchup for them.It would be poetic for Nebraska to pull off the win against Iowa. They've been getting screwed all season. Go out with a ranked win.
Glad to see their players still playing hard. If they play well they absolutely can beat Iowa at home next week.They're due for a big win! Iowa is perfect matchup for them.
The Axe game is on Fox, so obviously they were trying to torpedo the ratings.Pretty pathetic graphic if they want to promote their potential game on ESPN/ABC next Saturday. Idiots.
Which is really odd to put it that way considering we win tiebreaker head to head with Purdue. I’m pretty sure short of a terrorist attack occurring during the MN vs WI game there is no scenario Purdue goes
Minnesota beating wisconsin is the least likely of the 3 to happen.BTN's B1G Today show had the analysts say it's a 2 team race for the West and then under their breath mention MN could win it but would need Purdue to win.
Can't wait for the chaos timeline of an Iowa loss, Purdue win and of course, your Golden Gophers to win the Axe, and with it, the West Division.
I too used to think that, but the only way we are in it is if Purdue wins and forces a 4-way tie for the West. We would hold tiebreakers over more teams (Purdue and WI) so we would win the West.Huh? We have to have better odds than Purdue. I'm not sure you know what the word contention means.
Is there a scenario where Purdue can go?
Assuming Purdue wins. ..
If WI wins - they go.
If WI loses and Iowa wins - Iowa goes.
If WI loses and Iowa loses - we go.
Yeah, I think we're saying the same thing.I too used to think that, but the only way we are in it is if Purdue wins and forces a 4-way tie for the West. We would hold tiebreakers over more teams (Purdue and WI) so we would win the West.
Sure, the administrations of the three teams ahead of them vote to stay home for any number of reasons...covid, tight budgets, academics or to prove a point who is in control of the university etc etcHuh? We have to have better odds than Purdue. I'm not sure you know what the word contention means.
