Aren’t We Truly Eliminated from Indy Now?

[markfromj]

Two different DMR writers today said “all but eliminated” and “unless a nearly impossible set of things happen”.

Aren’t we eliminated? Wisconsin and Minnesota could in theory end up with 3 conference losses, but, to do so, we’d have to win out and Minnesota would have to lose out.

Then, in a three way tie, Iowa and Wisconsin both beat Minnesota, so Gophers out, and then Wisconsin over Iowa given head to head win.

Isn’t this right?

Wisconsin would have to lose to Purdue and Nebby, beat Minny.
Minny would have to lose their remaining games and us win out.
We are in.
Whisk would have four conference losses, us and Minny three, we would be in because of head to head over Minny.

Ah, hadn’t considered that. Thanks.

You're welcome.

Not going to happen....

Not going to happen....

Really, seemed like a lock.

Really, seemed like a lock.

I bet it did until last night....

Great edit.

 

[MeetTheFerentz]

The Bengals aren't truly eliminated from the AFC North, either.

Eye test says MAC team

This seems obligatory...

good grief I am not wanting to see this team on national tv in indy scoring 9 points with three kicks, and going 2-12 on third down conversions... and the other team scoring 45 points

Exactly right. I do not want to watch Iowa get their pants pulled down by Ohio State with the whole country watching.

 

[LeftyLarry]

Only team with a real chance is Wisconsin and we need Iowa to win next week.
In either event one of us MUST beat Minnn, the thought of the Goofs going undefeated in the Big 10 is truly a horrifying.

this is the type of team at iowa under kf that can lose to wiscy and penn st and Michigan yet beat Minnesota somehow. I dunno how

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Even Wisconsin fans telling us from experience it's not worth it to face Ohio State, and that they'd rather Minnesota be the unfortunate Guinea pig in December......

 

[Hawk-A-Doodle-Doo]

Otherwise known as "a nearly impossible set of circumstances".

 

[badger-007]

I bet iowa would like to face Ohio State this year. Nice try on Wisconsin fans

So, by this Minny wins the West if they win in Kinnick?

That sounds fun.....

Exactly, whoever the West rep is; they are going to get demolished by O$U.

But will they have enough fans here to tear down the goalposts...

Let’s get real. Nobody from the Big 10 West has a chance
