Looking ahead to the potential elimination games for the West this Sat

If Iowa beats ILL - Iowa wins the West division outright and everybody else is eliminated.

If OSU beats Minn -  then Minn and NW are both eliminated

If Neb beats Wisc - then Wisc, ILL and NW are all eliminated

If Wisc beats Neb - then Neb is eliminated

If Purdue beats NW - then NW is eliminated.

So there is 4 different ways NW could get eliminated this Sat.  NW can only stay alive if NW beats PUR,  ILL beats Iowa, Wisc beats Neb and Minn beats OSU.

Here is a tough question. 

If there was such a thing,  who would be the Big Ten West first team QB.  My nominees

1) Purdue QB Hudson Card
2) Illinois starting QB Luke Altmeyer
3). ILLINOIS backup QB John Paddock

I think I would give it to Paddock even though he has only played about 1.5 games,  but what he has done in those 1.5 games is remarkable.

Yes, the bubble may burst for John Paddock this week against Iowa but what a great story either way. 

A 6th year QB that started at Ball St,  then decided to use his last year of Elligibility to walk on at Illinois with no promise of playing time.  Then forced into action with Illinois down to its last chance trailing against Minnesota, he calmly picks up a 4th and 11,  and leads Illinois on a game winning TD drive,  shocking the Gophers.

Then Paddock follows that up by throwing for 507 yards against Indiana and again leads Illinois on a game-winning TD drive in OT.

Whatever happens against Iowa,  he has had a memorable run already. Now he gets his toughest test.  Playing against an Iowa defense that just shut out Rutgers and has given up an average of  only 12 points per game.

Edit: lol, Bielema announced Wednesday that Altmyer would be Saturday's starting QB against Iowa. But that's OK,  I have a feeling Paddock will still find some way to get in the game and throw the game-winning TD in the 4Q.

With DeJean out of the year, trying to figure how this impacts future O/U for Iowa... he really should have been the QB lately.

Well now it is simple and there will be no need for tiebreakers.

Iowa and the tOSU/M winners will win their divisions outright and play in Indy (unless M wins and gets banned from postseason play).

Interesting thought.  I doubt Michigan gets banned this year.  Maybe the NCAA will take away their championship retro-actively next year.  But If Michigan would get banned this year, would OSU play in the CCG like Wisconsin did in 2012?

I don't think I have any interest in attending this game.  I've attended all ccg but two to date.

I have a hunch a lot of Iowa fans will go even though it's likely to be a blowout loss.  This could be the last CCG for a long time for Iowa.  A lot of Iowa fans will just want to soak in the experience  l could see a lot of Mich/OSU fans saving their money for the CFP playoffs even though the CCG is a shorter drive for them.
