[QUOTE="danielb927, post: 1815857, member: 3372"] Let's just assume for a minute that Purdue beats the Kitties. In that case, I think our rooting interest for Iowa/MN is pretty clear by the time it starts. - Illini lose, Wisconsin wins -> root for whoever you think is more likely to lose their last game (probably [B]Minnesota[/B]) - Illini lose, Wisconsin loses -> root for [B]Iowa [/B](a Minnesota win would eliminate us) - Illini win, Wisconsin loses -> root for [B]Iowa[/B] --- If we beat NW and Purdue loses to IU it won't matter, we control our destiny --- If we beat NW and Purdue beats IU, we'll need Iowa to win out --- If we flop against NW, we could still sneak in, but [B]only [/B]if Iowa beats Minnesota - Illini win, Wisconsin wins -> root for [B]Iowa [/B](if you think we'll beat NW),[B] or Minnesota [/B](if you think we'll slip up). --- Same as above if we beat NW and Purdue loses to IU --- Same as above if we beat NW and Purdue beats IU --- If we flop against NW, we could still sneak in, but it would depend on one other game: ---- If Iowa beat Minnesota, we'd need Nebraska to beat Iowa - [I]less likely[/I] ---- If Minnesota beat Iowa, we'd need Wisconsin to beat Minnesota - [I]more likely[/I] [/QUOTE]
