It was just a horrible day for the Big Ten West for so many different reasons.

The West went 0-3 against the East in cross-division games.  So the East now leads the West 11-5 with 5 games to go plus the CCG.  Once Ohio St beats Minn,  the East VS West cross-division race will be officially over.  Oh, who are we kidding, its not a race, it's a slaughter.

As for the West race itself,  the West has only 1 team above. 500 and that 1 team is only averaging 13 points a game in conference play.  Iowa seems to be on a mission to prove it can win a division scoring the lowest number of points possible.

Oh well, at least we got a nice visual of Iowa hitting the game winning FG under the lights at Wrigley Field.

Yes, I heard there were only 6 baseball games at Wrigley this year with higher scores.  So I guess it was the 7th highest scoring game at Wrigley this year.

Is this year perhaps the most imbalanced E vs W has ever been?

Could be.  I believe the previous worst for the West was 8-13 (or 8-14 with the CCG) . 

So that's something I guess for the West to still play for.  Try to finish at least 8-13.  That actually is still possible, actually.

The top three in the E appear way better than anyone in the W.  Maybe the rest of the E is comparable, but the difference, to me, seems extreme just looking at the top 3.

And of course the SEC has had years with a large imbalance, I don't know if it was this large.

It's really too bad that NW did not pull it out in the last minute against Iowa.  

It just seems fitting, the West was so close to having a 5-way tie with all 5 teams at 3-3.

Anterio Thompson blocked Hunter Renner’s punt early in the third quarter. The Hawkeyes took over at the Northwestern 25. Drew Hill rolled to his right and hit Addison Ostrenga for a 2-yard touchdown.

Iowa's defense made a huge stand midway through the fourth quarter. Northwestern had a first down at the Hawkeyes' 2 and got stopped on four runs — three from the 1.

Yes, as an Iowa fan I almost feel like apologizing for the way Iowa keeps winning these games with almost no offense at all.  At least Iowa lost  a close one against Minnesota so it seems a little more fair.

If you throw in Iowa's game game against PSU, Iowa has been out scored in all conference games this year.  Iowa is kind of the exact opposite of that Nebraska team a couple of years ago that lost 7 conference games by one score and blew out NW so it totals points were almost equal in conference.

the Ferentz family will no be apologizing

I don't blame them

the opponents have themselves to blame - too many mistakes - no offensive points

Nothing against Iowa, I was rooting for this for that reason.

Update on the potential 3-way tiebreaker in the B1G-E:

UPDATED THROUGH 11/4 games

Note:
If PSU, tOSU, and M all go 11-1 (tOSU>PSU>M>tOSU) the first potentially decisive tiebreaker is the league records of their B1G-W opponents.

At this point those are:
Ohio State, 7-11, .388

  • 1-5 Purdue
  • 3-3 Minnesota
  • 3-3 Wisconsin
Michigan, 7-11,  .388
  • 1-5 Purdue
  • 3-3 Minnesota
  • 3-3 Nebraska
Penn State, 8-10, .444
  • 2-4 Illinois
  • 2-4 Northwestern
  • 4-2 Iowa
A great weekend for Penn State as their opponents went 2-1 (NU lost but IA and IL won). Meanwhile tOSU's and M's opponents each went 0-3.
