Iowa 22nd.

1. Beat Michigan
2. Iowa win out in regular season
3. Come on WVU too
4. Everyone else fall apart (except maybe Ohio St; give us the best loss)

Now Fox can legitimately call Saturday's game a "top-ten CFP matchup."

Helps UM more than anything.

This doesn’t all need to happen for us to make the playoff, but #1 sure does.

Weird that the three biggest games of the season now for us are PSU-Michigan, Ohio St-Michigan, and Purdue-Northwestern (and of course our MSU and Rutgers games).

Don't forget the Old Oaken Bucket game, IU vs Purdue and Nebby vs Iowa.

While they are important, I really think that NW-Purdue will end up deciding the potential tiebreaker.

That game is at NW I believe and I like NW's chances.

It is..I think that NW would be a small favorite today.

Would someone please explain the significance of the Purdue/Northwestern game, please.

Would someone please explain the significance of the Purdue/Northwestern game, please.

It’s the last game remaining between a team that we played (NW) and a team that Ohio St and Michigan both played (Purdue). It’s looking like the 3 team tiebreaker will be very close if it comes into play, and the result of that game could very well be the determining factor in it.

Rutgers/Iowa is the game that worries me for the tiebreaker. That's a game Iowa must win for us.
