Nebraska 4-5
Iowa 4-5
Northwestern 3-6


Tiebreakers:
Divisional record would eliminate Illinois
Minnesota would win the head to head tiebreak over wisconsin.


It’s hard for me to imagine Iowa going 0-3
But when I look at all 3 games individually I would pick their opponent.

 

[HitMeAgainIAmStillMoving]

I can see 0-3 and 3-0. I am not kidding.

 

[Yah-E]

I mean with their stagnant offense, ALL Rutgers, ILL and Neb can get Iowa so I don’t think they’re in the clear to win out at all.

 

[Yah-E]

I can see 0-3 and 3-0. I am not kidding.

Not surprised to see us going 0-3 at this point.

I am not sure but I think Minnesota would win your tie.
Because Mn would be 2-1 vs those 4.
WI would be 2-1
Illinois would be 1-2
Nebraska would be 1-2

Then it would come down to head to head Mn vs Wi

Would be interesting because the final week in your scenario the division would be clinched by Iowa already on Friday with a win. But if Iowa lost Wisconsin would be playing for a division title against us Saturday. Which may have been the exact scenario last year if I remember correctly

Iowa’s loss to Nebraska last year opened the door for Purdue, not Wisconsin.

Iowa’s loss to Nebraska last year opened the door for Purdue, not Wisconsin.

Yup. I’m dumb.

I think in my brain I was mixing up 2021 and 2022 into one season.

Could easily end up with a bunch of teams with 4 losses, with MN having the tiebreaker over Iowa, Nebraska and Wisconsin, but (alas) not Illinois.

I think the gophers win all multiple way ties except:
Minnesota - Iowa -Illinois

But I could be wrong

Pretty sure you got it. Which would mean Iowa, Nebraska and Wisconsin all go 1-2 the rest of the way, which seems unlikely.

All of that PLUS Illinois goes 3-0 and Minnesota goes 2-1
