This is wrong. Win vs PSU does not clinch, still need Indiana to lose (to either us or Illinois) OR need Illinois to lose twice (to Inidiana and PSU)

I agree . If we split and Indiana wins 2 and Illinois splits , the 3 of us are 8-12 and we lose all tiebreakers to each of them. Problem solved, Just Win Two!!

Clinched the 12th seed with Nebraska loss ... win tomorrow and no worse than 11th!

Interestingly enough, 9-12 in the standings play a virtual round-robin in their final 2 games. RU and Illinois at 9/10 both play PSU and Indiana at 11/12. Will be interesting to see how it plays out.

As was already pointed out, that first scenario is incorrect. Need a win tonight and an Illinois win over Indiana.

BTN WTF

BTN WTF

youd think they would know

 

[Local Shill]

Believe what you want but if RU wins tonight and Indiana beats Illinois and RU, they’re the 10.

 

[Upstream]

Based on Rutgers' loss to Penn State tonight, it looks like the only way to finish 10 or better is to beat Indiana. If we lose to Indiana, we would lose all tie-breakers and finish 11 or lower. If we beat Indiana, we finish at 10, unless Illinois loses out, in which case we finish at 9.
