Not to quibble, because you got the end correct, but the numbers after MN/MSU should be 8-4.
U RAH RAH! WIS CON SIN!

Thanks for catching that, and I didn't get the end right. Fixing it now.

So the East has clinched a regular season win and at least a tie overall.

So the East leads 11-5 after the West had an awful week in Week 10,  going 0-3 against the East.

Looking ahead to week 11, there are 3 cross-division games

Ind @ILL

MD @Neb

Rut @Iowa

So each West team should be favored but not by much.  You got to figure the East would win at least 1 out of 3, which will clinch it for the east (again).  But even if the West goes 3-0 this week, you got Minn @OSU the next week. 

So really all the West is fighting for now is respectability.  The worst the West has ever done I believe is 8-13 (8-14 with CCG).  But 2023 may be by far the worse effort ever because the West actually had home field advantage this year and still has no teams ranked today.

There will be 21 regular season B1G games pitting B1G-E teams against B1G-W teams and the B1GCG will be a 22nd such game.  Here is how things are going so far:

  • Indiana at Illinois on November 11
  • Rutgers at Iowa on November 11
  • Maryland at Nebraska on November 11
  • Minnesota at Ohio State on November 18
  • Indiana at Purdue on November 25
  • B1GCG
So the East is up 11-5 with just these six left.  After this weekend the East will be a huge favorite in two of the remaining three (tOSU/MN and CG) so this weekend more-or-less wraps this thing up.  

This weekend's games are interesting.  The West is the home team in all three but they are all basically toss-ups according to Vegas:
  • Rutgers +1 at Iowa
  • Maryland -2 at Nebraska
  • Indiana +6.5 at Illinois
A sweep by the West would get them to their previous low of eight wins.

Maryland's win clinches a win for the East.

OP updated through the Veteran's Day games. The best the West can do is a 12-10 loss.

Yes, the East now leads 12-7 with only 3 games left.  The West is only fighting for respect now.  Assuming Ohio St beats Minn next week and the East also wins the CCG,  the only way the West can avoid its all time worst performance is for Purdue to beat Indiana the final week of the regular season.

Yes,  this is close now to be being officially the worst year ever for the West.  What was once mainly a perception problem for the West now has become real.  The West is just awful, both in perception and in reality.
