Yes, in the race to win the West, Iowa is hardly ever hurt by its record against the east.  In fact the main reason it won the West in 2021 was its 3-0 record against the East in 2021.

Iowa does not win the West more often because Iowa can not consistently beat Wisc, NW and Purdue.  Iowa's record against the West since 2014

Wisc 2-6
NW 4-4 (but 0-2 the 2 years NW won the west)
Pur 4-4 (only 1-4  vs Jeff Brahm since 2017)
Minn 7-1 (7-0 since 2015)
Neb 7-1 (7-0 since 2015)
ILL 8-0

B1G West is wide open this year. Anyone could win it. They might all finish with the exact same record. 

If only we had some sort of a tie-breaker expert to break down all of the various scenarios for us along the way.

a team in the west will get their poop in a group and emerge as a solid team

right now, I'd bet on the Badgers and the Gooophers

and I'd not count out the Mildcats and Fritz

That's a very obscure geographic reference.  Is there some interesting history there?

I assume you were referring to me.

That is way too many scenarios but here is a link to the B1G tiebreakers and here is the hierarchy for a multi-team tie:
  • H2H . . .2H.
  • Divisional record.
  • Record against the next best team(s) in the division, then the next, etc.
  • Record against all common conference opponents. 
  • Record of non-divisional opponents. 
  • Record against the best team(s) in the other division. 
  • Overall record
  • Random draw

If every team finished 4-5, it would be H2H... 2H2H2H2H2H.

Right, and if they each got there by going 3-3 against each other and 1-2 against the B1G-E that would mean that the first four tiebreakers would be tied and the tie would likely be broken based on which team had the best B1G-E opponents.
