B1G Divisional races after week 12
« on: November 19, 2022, 09:24:09 PM »
We'll start in the East as usual because the East is simple. The Ohio State/Michigan winner will be the outright B1G-E Champion. 

We have a bit more clarity:

  • If Iowa wins they go to Indy. If Iowa loses that opens the door for:
  • Purdue goes if they win and Iowa loses.

If Iowa (vs UNL) and Purdue (at IU) both lose they'll tie for the title at 5-4. Additionally, the MN/UW winner would join that tie as would Illinois if they win (at NU).

So there are a slew of potential 5-4 ties for the B1G-W title:
  • IA, PU, UW
  • IA, PU, UW, IL
  • IA, PU, MN
  • IA, PU, MN, IL
HH2H results:
  • Iowa: Beat PU, UW, MN, lost to IL. 
  • Purdue: Beat IL, MN, lost to IA, UW
  • Wisconsin: Beat PU, lost to IA, IL.
  • Illinois: Beat IA, UW, MN, lost to PU. 
  • Minnesota: lost to all.
Minnesota is out because they lose all ties.

The tiebreaker winners for the above ties are:
  • Iowa wins because they beat the other two.
  • Illinois wins. IA and IL win H2H2H2H tiebreaker (both 2-1) and Illinois Beat IA 
  • Iowa wins because they beat the other two.
  • Illinois wins: Minnesota is eliminated by H2H2H2H. The other three move to divisional record where Illinois is 5-1. 

Thus Iowa, Purdue, and Illinois are the only teams still in the running. The Minnesota/Wisconsin winner could tie for the title but they can't win the tie and go to Indy.

kind of crazy to me that Iowa will probably win the West despite having maybe the worst offense in the history of the modern B1G.

true. but it makes it easier for Kirk to keep his son around when they are winning the West in back to back years.

Worse than the two years where every team finished behind Northwestern?

I think USC and UCLA would both probably beat Iowa as they at least can score points. Iowa can't score points.

well, Iowa State beat Iowa and they are 1-7 in the Big 12 - dead last

the Big Ten West is worse than the bottom of the Big 12

the 2022 Big Ten West might be the worst division in the history of P5 football. It's certainly in the discussion imo.

I would not have hurt my feelings if Illinois had won today because I do not want to watch a rematch of Iowa v. Ohio State or Michigan.

So if Iowa beats Neb on Black Friday, Iowa wins the west.  But if Iowa loses, It sets up a wild Saturday. 

I don't see the game times listed for the Big Ten West games on Saturday.  Do you think they will set it up so that Pur-Ind, NW-ILL and Minn-Wisc are all at the same time?
