First, ignore the painful thought in the back of the head we coulda, woulda, shoulda won first two games we would have had inside track to division, even if probably true. Here is one view:
Wisconsin (2 losses already): at IA, at NU, and Neb (best team, 7-2 likely but might drop one more 6-3)
Neb (0): at Wisc and at OSU and MN (7-2 best case, 6-3 with loss to MN)
NU (1) at OSU, at MN, PSU and WISC (6-3 best case)
IA (1) Wisc, Michigan, at PSU, Neb (6-3 best case)
MN (2) at Neb, NU, at Wisc (6-3 best case)
Illinois could play spoiler with an upset of MN or IA or NU. East help - not really except from OSU and Michigan. MSU down year hurts us since others finally playing them and beating them. PSU does host IA and could win that game.
So could be wild final six games with everyone playing each other.
