The Big Ten can have its first bowl ineligible team this week. If Purdue beats Illinois the Illini will be the first team to seven losses. Rutgers, Indiana, and Purdue are sitting on 5 losses and are edging closer to that abyss. The West is all but decided with Wisconsin comfortably in front. The biggest game is Penn State at Michigan State, as the winner stays alive in the east while the loser is done unless Ohio State loses at Iowa.
Here is a look at this week’s games:
Illinois (2-6, 0-5) at Purdue (3-5, 1-4) Noon, BTN
I maintain what I have said all week: Even Darrell Hazell could beat Illinois.
