  • Illinois at Maryland on October 14 8-2 E
  • Ohio State at Wisconsin on October 28 9-2 E
  • Michigan State at Minnesota on October 28 9-3 E
  • Maryland at Northwestern on October 28 10-3 E
  • Purdue at Michigan on November 4 11-3 E
  • Wisconsin at Indiana on November 4 11-4 E
  • Nebraska at Michigan State on November 4 11-5 E
  • Indiana at Illinois on November 11 11-6 E
  • Rutgers at Iowa on November 11 11-7 E
  • Maryland at Nebraska on November 11 12-7 E
  • Minnesota at Ohio State on November 18 13-7 E
  • Indiana at Purdue on November 25 13-8 E
The East has a big lead but four of the six contests have been played by either PSU or Michigan for the East so things should tighten up. 


Future wins for West in red. This is the best-case scenario and could get a lot uglier than 13-8. Think Ryder Cup here.

When I guessed, I came up with 13-8 also. 

There will be a few upsets but if the balance out it doesn't matter.

Barring upsets (which do happen of course), the "Big Three" from the East should go 9-0.

I also think that IU and MSU may well go 0-6.

That adds up to a 9-6 advantage for the East and leaves Rutgers and Maryland. Rutgers is already 1-0 (beat NU) so they have five to go. I think the above games are the key.

One thing that could keep it close is the West gets the extra home game this year.  Home field could be the difference in games like Iowa-Rutgers this year.

I am optimist (from the West"s Perspctive) . 

The east will win 11-10.  Neb wiil upset MD,  and Ohio St will lose at either Wisc or Purdue.

And of course the East will win the CCG to finish 12-10.  Again!

This last year for divisions could potentially be a slaughter.   If all favored teams win,  the east could end up 15-6 VS the West.  Even with the usual 2-3 upsets,  would get it only down to 13-8 or 12-9.

I don't want to over-react to the Illinois-MD game but there is a chance the West can make this respectable.  

In fact,  If MD, MSU, Ind and Rutgers lose every single cross-over game they have left,  the West could even win this thing!

OK,   maybe I am over-reacting.

The East is down to two cupcakes this year, with Indiana and Michigan State.

In the past, the West could feast on Indiana, Rutgers, Maryland and the Wolverines.

There are no East vs West games this weekend.  Then there are three next weekend:
Quote from: medinabuckeye1 on October 02, 2023, 11:18:14 AM
  • Ohio State at Wisconsin on October 28
  • Michigan State at Minnesota on October 28
  • Maryland at Northwestern on October 28
Those are interesting to be because I could see either team winning any of those games:

Ohio State at Wisconsin:
Ohio State will be a big favorite and I'm more confident as a Buckeye fan after seeing the Hawkeyes win in Madison but this game still worries me.  It is at night in Camp Randall and Ohio State will be coming off of a huge game against Penn State that will also be a very physical game.  

Michigan State at Minnesota:
Michigan State's record is awful but they've been statistically MUCH better than their record and they had Rutgers beat before choking away that game.  In theory Minnesota should win but PJ's oarsmen managed to lose to Northwestern so anything is possible.  

Maryland at Northwestern: 
A week ago I had this as an absolute lock for the Terps.  Then the Terps somehow lost to Illinois.  Maybe that was just a crazy one-off.  Maybe, as @847badgerfan said, the Terps simply let tOSU beat them twice.  Still, if the Terps can lose to Illinois they can lose to Northwestern.  

The East leads 7-3.  If they sweep these that will grow to 10-3 and the West can't possibly recover from that.  OTOH, if the West sweeps these this thing will be almost tied heading into November.

ESPN's FPI updates odds for each team to win the battle for the B1G West

ESPN’s FPI has its answer. It gives all 4 at least an 8% chance of winning the West, with Iowa at the No. 1 spot.

Here’s the FPI’s full odds:

Iowa: 40.9%
Wisconsin: 37. 2%
Minnesota: 11.8%
Nebraska: 8.9%

So East now leads 8-5.

I would put the West chance to win against Mich, OSU and PSU as almost zero 

BUT If Rut, MD, MSU and Ind lose all their remaining games against the West, the West could be ahead 11-10 before the CCG.
