Who is likely to have the best B1G East opponents according to our current prognostications?
I would rank in this order

1. Iowa - @OSU, Mich, @Rut
2. Wisc - @OSU, MD, @MSU
3. NW -  @PSU, OSU, @MD
4. ILL - @Mich, MSU, @IND
5. Minn -  @MSU, Rut, @PSU
6. Neb - @Mich, Ind, @Rut
7. Purd - @Ind, PSU, @MD

Purdue really missed a golden opportunity to go 3-0 against the East when they lost to PSU in the last minute.

Another stirring weekend of crossover action headed our way.  The Big Ten East will host all 3 matchups.

Wisconsin @ Ohio State -17.5

Minnesota -2.5 @ Michigan State

Iowa -7.5 @ Rutgers

Big chance for the West to steal some road wins and catch back up this weekend.

Not fair.  I think Wisconsin was the original 'NO WAY'.

Great memory.

They were - in 2005 against Bowling Green.

UW smacked them good. 

I forget who made the proclamation though, but I think it was a Michigan fan??

Loved the throwbacks for that game.

Was it "shouldabeen94champs" ?  He was a Penn State fan, but can't say for sure if he was the original.

 Your memory is damn good. I don't know if it was him. Blast from the past for sure.

I think Drew should use the small personal fortune he's made off this site to roadtrip across the country, and bringing back long gone posters

Alternatively, he could base it around a college football roadtrip, and sell subscriptions

He @Drew4UTk would make it about a mile on the 0.1 gallon of gas he could afford...

The Big Ten West has closed the gap after this past weekend:

Minnesota 34, Michigan State 7
Iowa 27, Rutgers 10
Ohio State 52, Wisconsin 21

The Big Ten East is clinging to a 3-2 lead.  This week promises some more interesting cross-over matchups.  And Northwestern is also playing:

Michigan -10.5 @ Iowa
Northwestern +25.5 @ Penn State
Indiana +3.5 @ Nebraska

This could be a bad week for the West.  Normally I am optimistic about Iowa's chances against anyone in Iowa City,  but I just have this feeling it's going to as bad as last year's Big Ten championship game.  Iowa's offense will do nothing and Iowa's defense will keep it close until it wears out in the 4Q.  42-3 again I am afraid.

NW has no chance against PSU even with the calender changing to October.  And Nebraska just seems like a mess right now while Ind has been finding ways to win close games.  I think it's going to be 3-0 for the east this week.
