Here we go -- Wisconsin vs. Nebraska for all the Big Ten West marbles. At least, for however many Big Ten West marbles are up for grabs in mid-November.
As you probably know, the Big Ten West currently looks like this:
| Conference | Overall | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| W-L | PF | PA | W-L | PF | PA | STREAK | |
| Nebraska | 4-1 | 182 | 96 | 8-1 | 364 | 177 | W3 |
| Minnesota | 4-1 | 168 | 111 | 7-2 | 276 | 192 | W1 |
| Wisconsin | 4-1 | 175 | 71 | 7-2 | 331 | 129 | W4 |
| Iowa | 3-2 | 162 | 135 | 6-3 | 251 | 211 | L1 |
| Northwestern | 2-4 | 99 | 140 | 3-6 | 162 | 201 | L4 |
| Illinois | 1-4 | 111 | 200 | 4-5 | 242 | 330 | L1 |
| Purdue | 1-5 | 147 | 204 | 3-7 | 256 | 319 | L4 |
With two games remaining after today, whomever wins this game gets a major leg up. Minnesota played Ohio State today; Wisconsin's final two games are against Iowa (road, next weekend) and the Gophers (home, Nov. 29). Nebraska plays Minnesota next week (home) before closing against Iowa (road, Nov. 28). Minnesota, as you probably put together, plays at Nebraska and Wisconsin.
So what are y'all thinking for the game? It's on ABC today, with Sean McDonough, Chris Spielman and Todd McShay on the call. Wisconsin is a 4-to-6-point favorite, depending on where you look.
