Knock them off and we've got an even Big Ten race busted wide open for everyone...lose and MSU just takes elite status and we all slide down a peg, Saturday is a MUST win
No... Next week has nothing to do with your team's status. It's a huge game in the Legends division, but Wisconsin is still far and away the favorite in the Leaders.
Ok then lose and see what happens. It matters.
Every game in the Big Ten affects every other team. It changes who we might play in the CG, it changes what we see in the media, we can pretend that it doesn't affect teams but it does, players keep up with other games and seeing MSU lose to a team they beat will make them think. It doesn't change the divisions but it does change the Big Ten.
Oh and as a side note, don't use those awful names, if we ignore them they'll go away.
