Does NU have a chance in the B1G West?

If Iowa hangs on for the W and Minn drops one more (Ohio st)…we control our own destiny.

And, Wisconsin lost their QB too. 
 

We have the chance that the Big Ten west comes down to the Friday after Thanksgiving.

I watched most of Iowa @ Wisc. Gives me reason to believe we can be in both of those games. Good defense and bad offense by both. Looks familiar.

Also, Illinois beating Maryland is a surprise that makes our win look better.

Iowa at Wisconsin this week mostly should determine the West. A Wisconsin win basically shuts out most of the competition for the division. An Iowa win puts them in the driver seat, but opens up the chaos window like last year.

Well, Iowa prying open the chaos window seems about right. No, McNamara and a O that seems to try to roll up loses took the division lead and Wisky lost their QB. 
 

Honestly, Iowa wins this division at 6-3. The remaining schedule for everyone else is too difficult for them not to get it, despite extreme ineptitude on offense.

The sad part is that the rest of the division is so bad that Iowa could score less than 20 points per game and finish 8-1 in conference play.

 
Ah man, Minnesota had a bye week before rolling into Iowa next week and Illinois hosts Wisconsin. A Minnesota and Illinois victory creates anarchy where almost everyone has a path to winning the west!

I know odds are higher to win the lottery.  But assuming Minnesota gets beat by OSU, Nebraska does control its own destiny and only has to win.  (You know, the hard part…)

Edit: Looks like that’s been mentioned already; oops.

Huskers have too many injuries on offense, spotty QB play, uneven kicking, and a defense that does not create turnovers.  I think we just need to worry about getting to a bowl.

If you think Maryland losing is a surprise, you haven't been paying much attention. They're (still) not a good team, they had a ridiculously easy schedule to start the season. They beat five teams, but those five teams have a combined total of just two wins over FBS opponents this season. Hell, we have more wins over both FBS and P5 opponents than all five of the teams Maryland beat combined!

just making a bowl is good enough. i'm not sure getting beat 70-0 by michigan in the BTCG is helping the program.

 
I think it comes down to O improvement after the bye week and the D’s ability to stop the pass.  We are solid on the run, but have given up yards against the pass…We won’t win one game if it turns into a shootout.
