GAMES REMAINING VS. 7-6 OR BETTER (all teams have 7 games left):
Penn State: 1 (at Minnesota)
Nebraska: 0
Minnesota: 3 (at Purdue, at Illinois, vs. Penn State)
Michigan State: 2 (vs. Illinois, at Purdue)
Illinois: 2 (at Michigan State, at Illinois)
Purdue: 2 (vs. Minnesota, vs. Michigan State)
GAMES REMAINING VS. 6-7 OR BETTER:
Penn State: 2 (at Wisconsin, at Minnesota)
Nebraska: 1 (at Ohio State)
Minnesota: 4 (vs. Ohio State, at Purdue, at Illinois, vs. Penn State)
Michigan State: 3 (vs. Illinois, at Michigan, at Purdue)
Illinois: 6 (vs. Michigan, at Michigan State, at Michigan, vs. Wisconsin, at Illinois, at Ohio State)
Purdue: 5 (vs. Minnesota, vs. Wisconsin, at Michigan, vs. Michigan State, vs. Michigan)
I don't think Illinois or Purdue will catch the top 4 (they also each play 5-8 Iowa).
Tough row to hoe for Minnesota compared to Penn State and Nebraska. Hopefully they can knock off Penn State and we take care of business to give us the outright conference title.
