SI: 5 things that stood out in Minnesota’s win over Iowa (5. Gophers back in Big Ten West race)

[BleedGopher]

Per SI:

5. Gophers back in Big Ten West race​

At 4-3 the Gophers still have a shot to represent the West Division in the Big Ten championship game. They're just one game behind Wisconsin and they now own the tiebreaker over Iowa. They also own the tiebreaker over Nebraska and every other team in the division is pretty much out of contention so the Gophers, dare we say, control their own destiny so long as they beat Wisconsin.

The Gophers host Michigan State next week and then play at home against Illinois on Nov. 4. Win both of those and they're 6-3 overall and 4-2 in the conference. That would set the stage for a road game at Purdue, which on paper is another winnable game that hypothetically could get Minnesota to 7-3 overall and 5-2 in the Big Ten.
