I wouldn't exactly say Riley would have done a "helluva coaching job" if he ran the table to end the season. We are where we are because of bad coaching decisions.
Iowa likely to be undefeated when they come to Lincoln

I think we're capable of beating everyone left on the schedule. Iowa hasn't exactly had the toughest schedule, maybe best of the middle of the pack type of team. Northwestern is suspect. If we continue to play like the Minnesota game and do something about pass coverage, getting a rush or whatever, we have a chance against them all. MSU of course looks the toughest,......... but they may be ripe for an upset.

Unless Iowa drops two, and one of those two are to us--or do the tiebreakers not do head-to-head first any longer?
Otherwise, if Iowa doesn't have their annual 'oops' game, then it will have it in the bag before they play us, and the only thing we can ruin for them is their Thanksgiving leftovers.

Iowa might be 7-0 but that schedule compared to other teams in the B1G is pretty soft so it's a misleading 7-0. Even if they somehow managed to go undefeated I see them getting destroyed if they made it to the title game let a lone a major bowl and played an actual good football team.

We can play spoiler for Iowa- I don't see any team standing in their way- except for Coach Ferentz. And that is ok in my book. Yes, it is bizarre to make an Iowa game like our "bowl" game.. I spat up in my mouth as I wrote that. My expectations were not too high with new staff and all the changes.
As mentioned before, we have a good chance to defeat both undefeated Iowa and Mich State if we play the kind of football we are capable of. Before the Minny game, I placed bets on us defeating Michigan State- i am hoping we are starting our direction towards the peak of that dam mountain, while all those monkeys are falling of their backs. 3 way tie, we lose out on the Conf Championship I do believe.

There is the tiebreaker. NU is in trouble with the division record, since it already has 2 losses in the West division.

Need Iowa to lose to MN and NU. Need Wisky to lose to MN.
We are all 6-2, with 2 losses in the West. Then we would need MN to finish higher in the West than Illinois.
Again, cart is way, way, way, before the horse, but there is the blueprint.

Or cut off Armstrong's right arm so he can't throw the ball on 3rd and 7. Oh who am I fooling, he would still try to throw it as a lefty.

Iowa this year reminds me an awful lot of Kansas in 07'.
Iowa is well coached and is playing very confident right now. They are not flashy. They run the ball well, run good play action passing, and play solid defense. They will have trouble if they play someone that is overtly more talented than them. A team like Ohio St. if they show up and decide to play will run them over. They don't have the athletes to compete with the super talented teams that are playing well.
