With #6, #7 (as of now) and #8 all losing, if we finish off the week strong with a win over northwestern, how far do we drop? If 6, 7 and 8 have all lost and we beat Illinois at their place this week, I think we only drop to 5 or 6. With Illinois and Wisconsin both losing too, I think we aren’t in as bad shape as I thought for the Big Ten title. MSU is not going to win this thing in my opinion. The last half of our conference schedule is certainly more favorable than the first half. So we go into next week ranked 5th or 6th with a chance to win a lot more games and go into the postseason with momentum on our side… hard to be down about that!
