So who do we root for outside of the obvious (RU).

Indiana vs Minnesota
PSU vs Purdue
Northwestern vs Nebby

What is best for RU?

I think we want Indiana and PSU to lose. The Nebraska v Northwestern game I'm not sure

The goal is for the other teams vying for the 9th and 10th spots to lose. So,...

Root against PSU and Indiana. The NW and Nebraska game is a wash since we beat both of them, though I’d probably lean to rooting against NW there since we split our games with them (so we wouldn’t own any sort of tiebreaker), whereas we beat Nebraska so we own the tiebreaker against them.

Yeah, we want Indiana to lose. Minnesota plays a pretty tough schedule after today so we still have a shot at catching them even if they win today. We just need to beat Iowa to stay within shouting distance.

Northwestern has a tough schedule after today. Even if they win today, it could be tough for them to get to six wins. Assuming we win at least one more, I don't mind them winning today.

NW schedule:

02/16/19 at Nebraska 8:30 PM
02/20/19 at Ohio State 8:30 PM
02/23/19 WISCONSIN 8:30 PM
02/28/19 MINNESOTA 9:00 PM
03/03/19 at Illinois 6:30 PM
03/06/19 OHIO STATE 9:00 PM
03/09/19 PURDUE 2:30 PM

Lots of home games but will definitely be dogs against these opponents. Plus with how Illinois has come on, they might lose at OSU and Illinois too.

PSU is making a late run to cut into what was a big Purdue lead, but I don't expect they can pull it off in Mackey.
