Big Ten West Race

[saluno22]

With Wisconsin losing to Penn State today, that makes their game at Purdue next week an elimination game for the Big Ten West.

Iowa stays in the race with a win at home over Northwestern today and is eliminated with a loss to Northwestern.

Let's assume Purdue wins at Minnesota today, I don't think I'm going too far out on a limb there.

Northwestern wins...
1. Northwestern (6-1)
2. Purdue (5-2; Northwestern owns tiebreaker)
3. Wisconsin (4-3; Northwestern owns tiebreaker, Wisconsin will not represent West in B1G CG)
4. Iowa (3-4; Northwestern would own tiebreaker / Iowa eliminated from CCG representation or even share of division title)
...

Iowa wins...
1. Northwestern (5-2)
2. Purdue (5-2; Northwestern owns tiebreaker)
3. Wisconsin (4-3; Northwestern owns tiebreaker; Owns tiebreaker over Iowa)
4. Iowa (4-3; Iowa would own tiebreaker over Northwestern)

So much for Purdue beating Minnesota today. Holy cow.

With Northwestern over Iowa and Minnesota over Purdue, Northwestern will represent the West Division in the Big Ten Championship Game.
