We don’t say #BuckyByAMillion for nothing around here. No matter how bad it gets, if there’s a sliver of hope we’ll find it and cling to it.

Wisconsin can still win the Big Ten West.
#NotDeadYet

Well, actually no one is dead yet. (Except Purdue… sorry spoilermakers, boiler down). Yes, that means Minnesota, Nebraska, Illinois, Northwestern, and Wisconsin all have a path to winning the West, despite Iowa’s 2 game lead with 2 games to go. 

If Iowa wins Saturday at home vs. Illinois OR at Nebraska in week 13  – Iowa clinches the West. 
BUT,
If Iowa loses out – it’s a mess. 

If you’re a Badger fan, you need 3 things to happen.

• Wisconsin wins out (a very tall task)
• Iowa loses out (possible, but not likely)
• Illinois wins out (who knows)

This would force a 3-way tie atop the B1G west between Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin. All 3 teams involved in the tie would have the same record against each other 1-1 (it’s a good thing Bucky won in Champaign).

The next tiebreaker is their division records:

• Iowa would have 3 division losses
• Illinois would have 3 division losses
• Wisconsin would have only 2 division losses

Wisconsin Wins the West. 
Long story short: Go Illini, get that win in Kinnick on Saturday.
