Can't a future Wisconsin opponent effectively kill off the Badgers season by canceling.  'Well I think we've got a few cases here....'
If Northwestern beats Nebraska and Purdue the next two weeks, their surest path to a B1G-W Championship would be to cancel the Wisconsin game.  In that case:
  • Wisconsin would be ineligible.  
  • Northwestern would have tie-breaking wins over Iowa, Nebraska, and Purdue.  
  • The Minnesota/Illinois loser would be effectively eliminated at 0-3.  
  • Northwestern would have at least a two game lead on the Minnesota/Illinois winner.  

Who would catch them?

There is some chatter that UW is considering pulling the plug. Not sure how credible it is.

1-0!!

If so, then one B1G East team won't get a non-ccg crossover game at season's end. But which one?

Well, Penn State right now since they are the only winless team in the East.  Realistically probably Rutgers or Maryland.

This weeks' games as the relate to our current Power Rankings:



  • #1 tOSU vs #10 RU
  • #3 IU vs #7 M
  • #4 PSU vs #12 UMD
  • #5 NU vs #11 UNL
  • #8 MSU at #9 Iowa
  • #13 MN at #14 Illinois

Ohio State looks to stay in the driver's seat in the B1G-E and if Michigan beats Indiana then the Buckeyes could find themselves alone in first place with a win at home over Rutgers.  

IMHO, IU is overrated.  They have a fluky win over PSU and a good but not seriously impressive win over Rutgers.  I think the Wolverines are going to smack them around this weekend.  

This is a "get right" game for PSU.  They still might be the second best team in the whole league but their start to the season has been dismal.  They need this.  

Even though Northwestern is 2-0 and Nebraska is winless, this game is important.  The Cornhuskers haven't lost a divisional game yet so if they win this they are in the race.  

I think Iowa is going to take some frustration out on Michigan State.  

Minnesota and Illinois have the battle for the basement.  The loser will be 0-3.

Go out on high note like Costanzo.   
154 MLB players had one career ABs going 1-1.

Pac already suffered their first casualty as Washington/Cal has been cancelled due to one Cal positive test and a bunch others held out due to contact tracing.

If any of those held out test negative in the coming days they should be good to go next week, if not that'll unfortunately cancel Cal@ASU.

Minnesota's DC is out with Covid. No word on whether or not any players are out.
