It isn't too far fetched that Indiana could be the Leaders entry in the CCG. :slappy:

Wisconsin is 3-2

Indiana is 3-1

Indiana has the following games left:

Iowa
Wisky
@ Penn State
@ Purdue

It really isn't a stretch for them to beat Iowa & Purdue (Indiana might even be favored against those two); then if they beat Wisky (at home) they would be at least tied with them. Since the tiebreaker is (If two teams are tied, the winner of the game between the two tied teams shall be the representative) and Indiana would have beaten Wisky.....:biggrin:

If both Ohio State and Penn State beat Wisky, Indiana could still lose to Wisky (and Penn State); and be the Leaders rep in the CCG.

Couple of things...First, Indiana is 1-3 (I know that is what you meant, but you might want to edit your post).

Second, if Indiana beats Iowa, Purdue, and Penn State but loses to Wisconsin, they will not be the leaders rep no matter what happens to Wisconsin. That would make Indiana 4-4 and Wisconsin 4-4 (assuming they lose to Ohio State and Penn State). Wisconsin would have the tie breaker.

Indiana has to beat Wisconsin and win at least 2 of the Purdue/Iowa/Penn St games to have a shot.

Hey, I screwed it up. I must be dyslexic (i.e. 3-1 instead of 1-3). Thanks, I'll just delete it.

Wisconsin vs. Indiana will be the big decider, especially if Indiana can beat Iowa this weekend.

If Wisconsin wins, then they are in the CCG, no matter what.

If Indiana can win this game, and beats Iowa, they will be 3-3, which would be Wisconsin's record as well and Indiana would hold the tiebreaker. So Indiana still could end up in the CCG.

I heard another poster suggest that Wisconsin may lose the rest of their games. Here is an interesting, but not unlikely, scenario that could play out if this happens.

Wisconsin loses it's remaining games to Indiana, Ohio State, and Penn State.
Indiana beats Purdue and Wisconsin, but loses to Penn State and Iowa.
Illinois loses the rest of its games.
Purdue loses to Penn State, Indiana and Iowa, but beats Illinois.

The final records for these four teams would then be.

Wisconsin 6-6 (3-5)
Indiana 5-7 (3-5)
Purdue 4-8 (1-7)
Illinois 2-10 (0-8)

Indiana would win the tiebreaker, and therefore a 5-7 team would be playing in the B1G championship game for a trip to the Rose Bowl.

And if all hell broke loose, and Indiana won the game, then a 6-7 team would be in the Rose Bowl.

I can easily see Wisconsin losing out, but I can also see Indiana having a letdown game against Iowa this weekend, which would render the IU-UW game null.

Regardless of which team makes the B1GCCG, I'm pretty sure they'll get stomped by the Legends division rep.

But they would be the true conference champion. :roll1:

I hope and pray that some galactic cluster[censored] like this happens.

What do you think the "point spread" would be if a 6-7 Indiana played a 13-0 Oregon in the Rose Bowl?

Not true. If Wisconsin loses out, even if Iowa beats Indiana this weekend, you still could very easily have Indiana win the division.
