Friday Flakes: Nebraska’s West Division Hopes May Be in the Hands of Illinois and Bret Bielema

Want to know how bad the Big Ten West is this year?

Nebraska is still in the running to win the division after falling to 5-5 and 3-4 in the conference. This is because the current leader in the division is Iowa which is sitting with a 5-2 conference record.

To be clear, Nebraska needs to win tomorrow night against Wisconsin AND then follow that up with a win over the Iowa Hawkeyes in Lincoln on Black Friday. Those two games are within their control.

What is not within their control is this weekend’s matchup between Illinois and Iowa.
