Ok so here's the current standings:
Wisconsin 13-1
Maryland 10-4
Michigan State 10-4
Purdue 10-4
Indiana 9-6
Ohio state 8-6
Iowa 8-6
Illinois 7-7
The first thing to do would be to win either all 4 or 3 of our last 4. No one below us could pass us at that point.
If we beat Rutgers and Illinois, our trailers would need to win out. We win tie breakers with Indiana and Iowa. In this scenario, we would split with Ohio state and Ohio state wins the tiebreaker via their win over Maryland. We would win every three or four way tie.
Same scenarios, for the most part, if we beat Ohio state but lose to Illinois, though we now would win all tiebreakers.
If we were to lose to Illinois and Ohio state but beat msu, the Ohio state/Purdue the breaker is determined by who finished higher between Maryland and Michigan state.
One Ohio state Loss and two Purdue wins locks up a 4 seed at worst.
Indiana plays Iowa next week, so one of them will have to have at least 7 losses
If we lose 3 of 4, we shouldn't really worry about a double bye but it's still possible
