In the final six games of the year Purdue plays four teams (Michigan, Maryland, Wisconsin, and Nebraska) that it has already faced. Its previous two-play, Iowa, swept the Boilers, but Purdue went 3-1 against this foursome. That's good, because with Indiana beating Iowa last night the door opened ever so slightly for a share of the Big Ten title. To get a piece, the most likely has to happen in the final 6 games for the top contenders:
Purdue must go 6-0 (in this process the other four loss teams in Michigan and Wisconsin each get a loss, knocking them out)
Indiana must go 4-2 or worse (one loss would come at the hands of Purdue.
