Who Wins the B1G West?

[twincyties]

7 way tie for last.

Joking aside, I think Minnesota will win it and then get destroyed by OSU a la UM and Iowa last year.

It's always the cheaper one. I mean, that's what I heard....

Wouldn’t you go most energetic or most spry? Cheapest seems like a bad selection criteria. I wouldn’t know from personal experience but tend to believe you get what you pay for.

It will just take a few seconds!!!!

I look forward to whoever it is getting 50 pointed in their bowl game

That would be all of them that manage 6 wins.

Purdue might do ok in a bowl game. They can employ the forward pass.

I feel like Wisconsin is the best team but like last year, the gap is close enough that a team like Minnesota or even Iowa could back their way in. It'll come down to who you lose to instead of who you beat.

Wisconsin lacks a good QB. Mertz has been a bust outside of his first game or two.

He's been pretty good so far this year.

That being said, they can lean on Allen and they don't dare put Mertz in a spot where he has to think.

 

[Remo Gaggi]

I picked Minnesota because they really hate Iowa.

 

[BCClone]

I picked Illinois just so I could be the only one.

 

[HFCS]

I straight up think Iowa guts it out.

NW and Nebraska are easy wins.

Wisconsin is legitimately down.

Minnesota will fold against their D.

Illinois is still an unknown, more unknown than our rising KU.

That leaves them with the matchup problem they have against Purdue and a legit b10 east slate this year.

3 losses but 3 losses gets it done.

It's whoever wins the Minnesota/Iowa game. It's in Minneapolis and Fleck needs to get the monkey off his back so I'll lean ever so slightly to the Gophers.

 

[Prone2Clone]

After choosing Minnesota, I feel like I just bought gas-station sushi with the hope that I won't get the squirts this time.

There isn’t a rounded team in the West. Iowa has good D but **** for O. Minn probably has the best O but ****** D. Wisconsin is probably closest to well rounded, but their O will struggle with teams like Iowa, and Mertz is wildly inconsistent.
