It's over.  Who is going to beat Wisconsin?  Maybe Michigan if they're all comfy in the knowledge that their spot is reserved in Indianapolis.  But that's not enough to knock them out.

To those saying that anything can happen:

Yes, it is CFB, upsets happen.  Injuries happen.  However, Wisconsin effectively has a 3-game lead on every other team except Iowa and Iowa still has to host Ohio State and travel to Madison in back-to-back weeks.  That is why I think it is over.  Wisconsin could suffer two shocking upsets and they would still get to Indianapolis.

It was over for Iowa when they lost to MSU.
It was over for Nebraska when they lost to Wisconsin.
It was over for Northwestern when the lost to Penn State.
It was over for Purdue when they lost to Wisconsin.

Eh, if Penn St could come back from a 39 point beat down and win the Big Ten, then these West division teams could do the same thing or something similar.

Pass protection has been decent (most likely the biggest reason for the improvement in the passing game), but the run game has certainly suffered this year.
The OL is mostly problematic in the running game. 
Wadley is getting crushed at the line of scrimmage, not in open field, which brings me back to the OL issues. 
I would like to see Toks Akinribade, or Toren Young get some action along with Wadley against NU. It will help with the wear and tear on Wadley.

There are some pretty significant differences.  No matter how bad you get beat in a given game it still only counts as one loss (one and a half in a way if it ends up being a tiebreaker).  
None of Wisconsin's competitors in the B1G-W have only one loss and of the four that have two losses, three of them have already lost to Wisconsin.  Thus, they are all in vastly worse shape than PSU was after losing badly to Michigan last year.
