=============================================

I marked *potential* losses in red. (Not expected losses. Potential losses.) Also there's virtually no chance that Michigan makes it to Indy. It's quite likely that either Wisconsin or Nebraska will go.

Seems like Wisconsin has far and away the easiest schedule of the three.
