Since it's Thanksgiving week, the Big Ten mailbag is running a day early. So let's answer your questions before we all start piggin' out.
@BennettESPN East winner really needs Iowa to be 12-0 to have a shot at CFP. Any scenario in which an East gets in by beating 11-1 Iowa?
Brian Bennett: Yes, I think there's one scenario: Michigan State winning out.
The Spartans would have a very strong résumé as a 12-1 Big Ten champion, having beaten Oregon and both Michigan and Ohio State on the road. Iowa would fall several spots if it loses Friday at Nebraska but still should be a Top 10-15 team at 11-1.
