Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

This one appears to be for all the BTW marbles. The team that wins has the inside track, and definite advantage. The betting line opens with Wisconsin favored by 4.5 points.
Other news, Kirk Ferentz hopes to have news by Tuesday on whether Iowa DL Noah Shannon's eligibility will be restored. Noah Shannon bet on an Iowa team other than football and under the new rules that went into effect, I think in May, lost all his eligibility. Under newer rules, it appears he would be required to complete a course on NCAA gambling rules. The NCAA was set to vote in a few weeks, but there have been complaints about unfairness in such a lengthy delay.
Noah Shannon has remained on with the team as a "student assistant." I would guess he has lifted weights and trained for the NFL combine. It would be great to see him back for the Wisconsin game. We'll see what happens.
If punting were winning, Iowa would win as in this metric Iowa is 2nd in FBS net punting, whereas Wisconsin is 27th. However, since Vanderbilt is 1st in net punting, we know Iowa cannot win on punting alone. Hence, this is a Wisconsin no-brainer win.

Gimme Wisconsin in a low scoring slugfest. Winner takes the B1G W. 

In his first start against Purdue,  Iowa QB Deacon Hill was 6-21 for 100+ yards,  1TD, 1 int.  For QB rating of 2.

Of the 6 completions, 5 went to TE Eric All and none went to a WR.

I would double the TE

I'm guessing Hunter Wohler will be spying All for the most part.

If Wisconsin wins they can book their trip to Indy. They'd be 3-0 and nobody else in the division would be over .500:

• Iowa would be 2-2 and have a loss to UW
• Purdue would have to beat Ohio State to get to 2-2, otherwise they'll be 1-3 and either way they already lost to UW
• Northwestern will be 1-2
• Minnesota will be 1-2
• Nebraska will be 1-2
• Illinois would have to win at Maryland to get to 1-3

Let's not be silly.  Even Iowa scores more than Nebraska. 

5 out of the 7 teams in the Big Ten West are now averaging less than the 25 points per game threshold established by former Iowa AD Gary Barta for Brian Ferentz.  Also 6 teams total in the Big Ten are now averaging less than 22 points per game.

It makes me wonder if a new standard for mininumly acceptable offensive efficiency has been established like the Mendoza Line in baseball. 

Will it forever be known as the Barta Line or the Ferentz Line?  I think  I prefer referring to it as the Barta Line.  It could even be extended to any minimum measurement that you need to meet to keep your job.
