I am starting to worry about the potential attendance at this year's Big Ten CCG.  Unless Putdue sneaks in after an Iowa loss, I can't see any fan base getting excited about the game.  Nobody expects a close game and most fans might be more interested in the team's bowl game coming later,  especially the team that knows it will be in the playoffs.

I guess for Iowa fans this may be their last chance to see Iowa play in a ccg before the Big Ten does away with divisions, although I guess the West will be around one more year in 2023.  And there is that small chance of an upset.

But many fans may decide just to stay home.

another good reason for the officiating crew to give the Huskers a few things to be thankful for on Black Friday

Update now that Iowa lost:

Purdue controls their own destiny. They go to Indy as outright Champions if the beat Indiana. 

If Purdue loses they WILL tie for the B1G-W title but they CANNOT win any potential tie so they are out.

If Purdue loses then Illinois controls their own destiny. They win either four-way tie (IA, PU, IL and either UW or MN). 

If Purdue and Illinois both lose, Iowa goes to Indy.

Its been said before but I will state it again.

It's not how the West was won, it's how the West was lost.  Every team in the West has tried to throw away this division title this year.  Does nobody want it?  Hopefully Purdue steps up.

I think you are exactly correct. M/tOSU fans aren't going to be overly excited about a game in which their team will be a ~20 point favorite. Also, even if the tOSU/M winner does get upset, they'll make the playoffs anyway. 

I can't imagine PU, IA, or IL fans being all that excited either other than the novelty factor for PU or IL.

And who knows when Purdue will get a chance again to play in the CCG.  It could be another 10-20 years before they get back.

I think Illinois with their defense would give the East winner the best game

but, I don't think their fans will travel as well as the Boilers
