Games that matter:

Minnesota @ Nebraska
Wisconsin @ Iowa

Minnesota @ Wisconsin
Nebraska @ Iowa


Gophers win the division if... They win their last two games.
Nebraska wins the division if... They win their last two games and Wisconsin loses their last two games
Iowa wins the division if... They win their last two games and Minnesota loses one of their last two games.

Wisconsin wins the division if... They win two games
Or they beat Minnesota and Nebraska beats Iowa
Or they beat Iowa and Nebraska beats minnesota.


I think I covered all scenarios. May have missed something
 

Nov. 16 and we control our destiny in the B1G West.

Win in Lincoln and we have ourselves a division championship game in the belly of the beast that is Camp Randall. With a chance at the Axe on the line as well.

Progress has been made, but there is so much more to accomplish right at our fingertips this season.

Enjoy the ride boys.

How awesome is this? There are 4 teams with a chance to win the division and they all play each other over the next 2 weeks. This is gonna be fun.
 

And with the Nebraska @ Iowa game being on Friday, all eyes will be on Camp Randall Saturday.

How awesome would this be? I have tix already too. Can't look past Nebby (especially since NE will be favored), but that game would be the biggest Gopher FB game in a long long time!

Thanks for the correction, this is true. If Iowa wins out they win the division ASSUMING we lose one of our last two games. Essentially, they need to win out and for the Gophers to lose a game.

This. Most accurate take on GH I have read in a while.
 



I realize it is a very small chance, but how insane would that be if freakin' IA somehow came back and won the division after the Gophs ran them off the field?

Back to the main point - I really want to see the Gophs win at least 1 of the last 2 games. I think it's important for this program to continue to show positive momentum. An 8-4 regular season - AND a win in the Bowl Game would (I think), keep the program moving forward in the eyes of the media and public.

Having said that, I would be thrilled if they could beat Neb and WI.

This is what I'm hoping for. 9 wins regardless of when they happen would be a step forward. 8 would be okay too, but 9 would be great.
