Wisconsin clinches with a win over Iowa.
If Wisconsin loses to Iowa that keeps Iowa and Northwestern (assuming they beat Purdue) alive. The problem, for both Iowa and Northwestern, is that they would need Wisconsin to lose their next two games to have a chance.
If Wisconsin finishes 7-2 or better they go to Indy either outright or by winning a 7-2 tie with NU based on H2H.
If Wisconsin loses out (vIA, vM, @MN) to finish 6-3 then:
Northwestern can win the division outright by winning out (vPU, vMN, @ILL) to finish 7-2.
Either Northwestern or the Iowa/Nebraska winner or both can finish tied with Wisconsin. Here is how those ties would be broken:
Wisconsin tied with Northwestern: Wisconsin wins, H2H.
Wisconsin tied with Nebraska: Wisconsin wins, H2H.
Wisconsin tied with Iowa: Iowa wins, H2H.
Wisconsin tied with Northwestern and Nebraska: Wisconsin wins, H2H2H.
Wisconsin tied with Northwestern and Iowa: Iowa wins, divisional record.
Note, therefore, that Nebraska, Purdue, Minnesota, and Illinois are eliminated.

Not much to say here, although. If Iowa and Michigan manage to upset Wisconsin a couple of times, this could get dragged out to the last week of the season.
If Wisconsin wins out, then the only interesting question is who finishes 2nd? NW probably then has the best chance for 2nd.

The last time UW was 9-0, I think they finished 9-3.

Sorry about that
Just about the only highlight of my experience as a student ticket holder.

Yeah, but this team has a semblance of an offense.

It's also got a better defense.

Needless to say, me and every other Badger fan who was there that day walked out in pure shock that night. But, we still had a great time.

Oh, quit Lou Holtzing and enjoy the ride.
Wisconsin's schedule might keep them out of the playoffs, but it won't be because they lost to any of the teams that are on it.

Well, both defenses were pretty nails

Through 9 games.. yeah. Then I saw 49 go up in East Lansing and the very next week I saw 30 go up in Iowa City - with the Rose Bowl on the line. Those were painful road games to be at.
