Iowa, Minn, or Wis?

I think Iowa matches up pretty well against minn.. with that said if minn does find a way to win they control their own destiny.. beating psu really opened alot of peoples eyes. Mine included and they are much better than i thought they were. Congrats to them and I hope they enjoy the ru they are on.

Iowa isn't that good. MN will win that game and clinch before game 12.

Iowa isn’t that good but they will beat Minnesota at home. Then they will use it as justification to extend and give Ferentz a raise.

Just another win for Iowa because they lost by 7 or less. Nebraska sucks but I can’t imagine keeping a coach around that wins this division once in nearly a decade.

Using Iowa’s moral victory logic we won at Colorado, against Indiana, and at Purdue! Sweet!

Iowa's best win?

• 5-4 Miami (Ohio)
• 5-4 Iowa State
• 3-6 Middle Tennessee
• 2-7 Rutgers
• 1-8 Northwestern
• 4-6 Purdue

Hard to say, but they play the good teams close. Good for them.

Or keep firing and hiring in search of the first conference title since 1999? Never pointing fingers until the act gets cleaned up first.

It doesn’t have to be one or the other. Iowa could actually go out and hire a coach that wins and recruits at a level that is needed to win championships. Nebraska has tried to do that sans Riley.

But, Instead Iowa seems to be okay with second/third place finishes in the West. Iowa has never won an outright Big Ten title in my lifetime. And I’m 33.

Hey, Iowa is a team with two top-of-the-draft O-Lineman (early entries), a likely high-first-rounder on the defensive live, a senior quarterback in his third year as a starter looking at an NFL future, a head coach in his 21st year, a defensive coordinator who has been with the head coach all that time (eight years now as DC in the Big Ten), and a solid running back corps.

Sure, Iowa is better than Nebraska, but it's a toss-up right now as to which team has been more disappointing — the one with so many experienced future NFLers, or the one hyped mostly on a coaching staff and quarterback still getting their feet wet in the Big Ten.

If the Hawks can finish 3-0 and win a bowl, the 10-3 result — which would include wins over Minnesota and in a bowl — would wipe away some of that disappointment.

If Nebraska can simply get to a bowl — which would mean at least one upset in a trophy game — that would wipe away some or our disappointment.

After yesterday’s results I think Wisconsin wins the West.

MN wins it with wins in the next two weeks. If MN beats Iowa then they pretty much have it locked up since NW is having their worst season in decades.

I think Minn loses to Iowa & Wis.

I think Wis wins out.

Minnesota’s Oline will absolutely dominate Iowa’s Dline and I don’t see Iowa doing much on offense. Gophers by 10 plus!!

Wisconsin wins out? Minnesota defense coordinator game planned to make sure Wisconsin badgers couldn't beat gophers last year. He will again. People like you are forgetting Wisconsin has to come to Minnesota with no passing game and WR's worth covering. Wisconsin will have to figure out a way to shut down gophers WR's, RB's & tanner Morgan but sure Wisconsin who has been figure out will win out

Won't need that win for your scenario to play out. KF could lose out the season and Gary Barta would suck on his toes in public. The guy is so devoid of standards he's probably trying to get Steven Ferentz appointed to the board of Burisma Holdings.
