Who do we root for with NW vs Minnesota?

Who do we root for with NW vs Minnesota?

Irrelevant, probably, as Minnesota is solidly ahead. But it depends. If NW loses, they'd have to run the table (at Illinois, home vs Ohio State and Purdue) and we'd have to lose out for us to finish 14th. If Minnesota loses, they'll be tied for us in the loss column with two tough games left: Purdue and at Maryland. I'm hoping the miracle happens and NW wins tonight as I don't think they can win out.

At this point , if we collapse and don’t get the bye it will be major disappointment.

Northwestern loses.

We are now 3 up on them with 3 games to go. Almost guaranteed to not be 14th.

If only Iowa had missed at the buzzer, we would be sitting pretty for the bye. Still work to do now.

Forget the bye at this point, I know it would be a marked step forward but in the scheme of things it's nothing. Kinda looks like we're hurtling toward the 12 seed but having PSU at home in front of a packed student section will help, and Indiana may have used up some mojo today - losing on senior night would be very on-brand for Archie Miller's Indiana so far
