2016 (would have been OSU-PSU rematch instead of OSU-Wisc) 

and 2018 (OSU-Mich rematch instead of OSU-NW)

The other 3 years, it would have been the same 2 teams in the CCG. 

2014 (Wisc-OSU)
2015 (Iowa-MSU)
2017 (Wisc-OSU)
Uh, the 2016 Conference championship was between PSU and Wisconsin. OSU lost to PSU.

Good catch.  I knew that.  Not sure why I typed OSU instead of PSU.  Anyway, I fixed it.  Thanks

1. It would be "fun" if magically Minnesota could upset Iowa .

2. Not fun for everyone of course.
1. False

2. True

You scored 50. You failed the test.

I doubt many, or any of us, want to see an OSU-Mich matchup in back-to-back weeks. The beauty of the current divisions is this disaster cannot occur.

In a divisionless system, a program like NW would have far less of a chance of a CG appearance IMHO.  So would Iowa as things stand today.

It's one thing I like about divisions, lesser programs have a better chance of "winning" a something.  It's a bit like how Missouri won the SEC East twice.  That's a thing for them, they probably have a banner or something.  
For every Northwestern, there are Indiana, Rutgers and Maryland that are mired in muck, and can't hope to overcome Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan, and sometimes Michigan State. Still, I prefer the divisions. Now if we changed the divisions, but kept Neb., Iowa, Minn. and Wisc. together I would be okay with a little realignment from time-to-time. These four need to stick together.

MSU still has Illinois and Maryland at home, and Rutgers on the road.  You'd hope they can win 2 of those 3 and get in.

I don't think they will, but I wouldn't say Nebraska is absolutely out either.  If they win in College Park, and then beat Iowa at home, I wouldn't be totally shocked.

that would salvage the season for me as I live in Iowa

and obviously Frost and staff really need the extra bowl practices

I'd certainly bet against beating Iowa in Lincoln, but stranger things have happened

The 2019 team doesn't seem upset about being ok.  I'm not saying Frost lost them, rather, they give a level of effort/focus that is ok rather than good.  OK makes plays.  OK also results in a WR lining up wrong on a 4th and 1.

need smarter, tougher players

Michigan State: 1-1 (Northwestern, Loss to Wisconsin)

East Record:  9-6
 
Upcoming Games:

Michigan State vs. Illinois
Maryland vs. Nebraska
Rutgers vs. Illinois
 
Could be the most lopsided year since the divisions were created.  Thoughts?

As of 11/23/2019, the East-West record is even.

Final interdivision regular season game is Indiana @ Purdue.

I think the key turning point was the Saturday when Minny upset PSU and ILL upset MSU.  That was supposed to be the day the East clinched it but instead by the end of the day the East lead had shrunk to just 1 game.
