Guess at Final Week Crossover Matchups
All caveats about this season being a disaster acknowledged, but I thought it was interesting to think about what the final week matchups are looking like. I had to make a few assumptions on this (obviously). The most relevant being that I am expecting Michigan to beat Penn State and Maryland and lose to OSU (best case scenario). Other than that, basically expecting trends for the other teams in the B1G to continue.
Championship - Ohio State vs Northwestern
2nd Place - Indiana vs Iowa
3rd Place - Michigan vs Purdue
4th Place - Maryland vs Wisconsin
5th Place - Penn State vs Illinois
6th Place - Rutgers vs Minnesota
7th Place - Michigan State vs Nebraska
One big liberty I took was moving Wisconsin down to the 4th place game. I expect them to come in second in the west, but their two crossovers in the regular season are Indiana and Michigan, so to avoid a rematch, I moved them down to 4th and slid Iowa and Purdue up. I also considered that if Wisconsin or Indiana looks like an outside shot for a second B1G playoff spot, they might have them play again to bolster the record / resume for the winner.

I see the penn state game as 50/50 cause our defense and maryland as a lose!

Count on the matchup to make no sense whatsoever and be horrible for Michigan because the B1G sucks.
