Yes! We should get a mulligan and if we beat them by 40, perhaps, the CFP will forgive and forget.
if we could play them at home I’d say yes. I think we would definitely beat them if we played our “typical” game, without multiple easy WR drops, unforced fumble at critical juncture, and even just our average DL/LB play against the run.
(although not seriously yes, because if we lost again then we would be at risk of losing the division to Io_a if we also lost to Illinois)

So, let me get this straight: We're suggesting that we should play the team that just beat us, risk losing, and then possibly NEED to play Illinois to get to the Big Ten Championship game? Instead of just taking the bye week and being guaranteed to go? Why exactly?
I said at the bottom I’m not serious. If it didn’t affect our division title status at all I’d say why not.
Only if you want to watch the game on TV in an Indy hotel......
We played enuf games. Lets play illinois, win, and then go to btc. F wisconsin.
Wouldn't that give NU the BIG West title? Wis not eligible, we have a game plus tiebreaker lead over Io*a. And we have enough games in. Or does it still depend on how many games get cancelled in next two weeks?
I'd take the drop. Focus on beating the pumpkinheads. Don't give them 364 days of gloating
Well we are at 1,380 days and counting of us gloating. What’s another 364 to the fighting Lovies?
Effectively, yes, NU has won the West. There is only one scenario in which NU does not, and it's extremely unlikely:
1. Wisconsin plays and beats only one of Indiana or Iowa, and the other game is cancelled AND
2. NU plays and loses to Illinois AND
3. Every single other Big Ten game is cancelled.
In that scenario, and only that scenario, Wisconsin wins the division. There are other threads that break down the math behind this.
Simply put: the moment any Big Ten game other than Indiana/Wisconsin kicks off this weekend, we officially clinch the West.
Just want to kick ass, take names and redeem ourselves. Checkers...
Your logic is Chess. Screw Chess. Screw MSU. On second thought, let’s play chess.
