In a way, the winner of this Saturdays Rutgers @Iowa game could be the clear #4 in the conference.
Iowa is 7-2 overall and Rutgers is 6-3. Rutgers 3 losses are to OSU, Mich, Wisc. Iowa's 2 losses are to PSU, Minn.
Minn, Wisc, Neb, MD all are 5-4 overall and any still could make a run at #4, but last week did not instill any confidence in any of them.
