Wisconsin controls its own fate as Big Ten championship draws near By Jim Dayton the daily cardinal
Last week’s 59-24 drubbing of Nebraska was Wisconsin’s most impressive victory since, well, the previous meeting between those two teams, a 70-31 Badger beatdown in the 2012 Big Ten title game. Sometimes a win is more than a win. That’s what last Saturday was. The Badgers have recently had a stigma that they can’t win big games. Sure enough, the losses seem to stick out—LSU this year, Ohio State last season, four straight bowl game defeats. But throttling Nebraska serves as a reminder that yes, this is a very good program capable of beating the best. Two games remain in the regular season and Wisconsin is in control of its own destiny. Win both, and the Badgers will head to Indianapolis Dec. 6 to play for the Big Ten championship. With the postseason looming, it’s time to do a little scoreboard watching.
There are four teams who still can win the Big Ten West— Wisconsin (5-1 Big Ten, 8-2 overall), Nebraska (4-2, 8-2), Minnesota (4-2, 7-3) and Iowa (4-2, 7-3). As far as head-to-head tiebreakers go, Wisconsin beat Nebraska and Minnesota beat Iowa. The schedule makers did a good job making the end of the regular season suspenseful, considering four head-to-head matchups remain between these four teams. If the Badgers beat Iowa, the Hawkeyes would be eliminated from contention. Whoever loses the Saturday game between Minnesota and Nebraska will be eliminated regardless. Since Wisconsin owns the tiebreaker with the Huskers, the Badgers would clinch the division with a win over Iowa and a Minnesota loss. That’s the simple scenario. If the Badgers win but the Gophers beat Nebraska, then the Nov. 29 battle for Paul Bunyan’s Axe in Madison functions as a division title game.
If Wisconsin loses to Iowa, then all hell breaks loose. The loser of Minnesota vs. Nebraska would still be eliminated, but a Badger loss to the Hawkeyes means three teams would be alive going into the final weekend. If the Badgers do win the West and end up in Indianapolis, then they will most likely play Ohio State, which owns a one-game lead and the tiebreaker with second-place Michigan State. The Buckeyes have sort of been Wisconsin’s white whale recently, as the Badgers have lost six of the past seven meetings. Though the Badgers would certainly be the underdog in this hypothetical matchup, it would be a collision between the two best teams in the Big Ten. According to F/+ rating, an advanced stat that evaluates all meaningful plays and possessions to holistically rank every team in the nation, Ohio State and Wisconsin are both statistically better than Michigan State and the rest of the conference.
This is all looking very far into the future. Though the Badgers are in prime position to win the Big Ten West, they are not a team without major issues. No one should expect Wisconsin to simply coast into the conference title game. Two games are left, and both are against good teams. This won’t be easy. But to be in control of their fate is rather impressive, considering the Badgers opened conference play with a baffling loss to Northwestern. While that outcome remains bizarre, it’s a testament to the ineffective quarterbacking that could derail this team in the postseason. Head coach Gary Andersen stresses in every postgame conference that Wisconsin has overcome adversity all season long. While this is definitely some classic coachspeak, it’s also true. This is a team that probably should be undefeated, with that stunning collapse against LSU and the absurd loss to Northwestern.
Credit the Badgers for staying focused following a painfully slow start to the season. While the rebound began with wins over poor teams (Illinois, Purdue) and mediocre teams (Maryland, Rutgers), it was validated with that dominating performance against Nebraska. The Huskers are arguably the best opponent Wisconsin has played so far and the Badgers completely obliterated them. To fight through the early struggles and win the West would be the biggest achievement of Andersen’s brief tenure at Wisconsin. Though the Big Ten’s national profile has been weak in recent years, playing for a conference title is no small feat. That’s what made last Saturday so significant. Wisconsin put itself in a position to accomplish that goal. Even with glaring inconsistencies in the passing game, having the best defense in the nation and a Heisman candidate in Melvin Gordon make the Badgers capable of beating any team in the country.
“…the great state University of Wisconsin should ever encourage that continual and fearless sifting and winnowing by which alone the truth can be found.”

Five things to watch By Thomas Valtin-Erwin the daily cardinal
1
Is Joel Stave the final answer at quarterback?
Since the Badgers’ loss to Northwestern in early October, head coach Gary Andersen has been playing more of Joel Stave and less of Tanner McEvoy. In fact, the Nebraska game was the
first game this season in which McEvoy did not attempt a pass. While he still has fewer pass attempts on the season, Stave is clearly the starter for the Badgers from here on out. Still unproven as of yet, Stave will need to step up if the Badgers want to finish out their push for a Big Ten championship. Stave has done well protecting the ball in recent weeks, throw-
ing just one interception in five games since tossing three picks in the Northwestern loss. If he can continue to limit turnovers, a Badger win becomes so much more likely.
2
Avoiding another slow start
Although they are averaging nearly 40 points per game, the
Badgers have struggled to get to a quick start this season. They’ve scored only seven first quarter touchdowns through ten games, and falling behind early in conference games can be killer. Meanwhile, the Hawkeyes have almost doubled the Badgers’ first quarter output, scoring 13 touchdowns in the first 15 minutes so far this season. Getting an early lead will be immensely important for a Badger team built around running the ball. If they fall behind early, they’ll find themselves in more passing situations, which they have yet to perfect.
3
Gordon’s assault on the record books
Melvin Gordon’s historic performance under the lights of Camp Randall Saturday won’t soon be forgotten. His 408 rushing yards were an FBS record, surpassing LaDainian Tomlinson’s record of 406 set almost exactly 15 years prior. With that record in the rearview mirror, Gordon can set his sights on another prestigious milestone: most rushing yards in a season. Barry Sanders’ record of 2,628 in 1988 has stood the test of time, but Gordon might just get there. If the Badgers get to the Big Ten championship game, Gordon will need to average 180 yards per game to break the record, a mark he’s already hit five times this season. You thought that was all? Gordon can also break Montee Ball’s school record 33 rushing touchdowns in a season set back in 2011. He’ll only need 2.5 touchdowns per game to reach the record, just a hair above his average of 2.3 so far this season. The Iowa defense has given up almost 150 rushing yards per game, ranked just sixth in the Big Ten. Gordon should be able to exploit that matchup and keep his hopes for history alive.
4
Corey Clement’s workload
This is one of the most interesting aspects of the upcoming matchup with Iowa. Melvin Gordon has carried the ball 50 times in the last two games and rushed for over 600 yards. That’s an enormous workload. Corey Clement might just be the best backup in the country, and yet he’s carried the ball only 13 times in the last two games combined. Gordon is the primary cog in the Badgers’ high-powered offense, but he’s also not immortal. If they can build a comfortable lead, Clement should see more carries to protect Gordon from any potential injuries. He’s averaging 6.2 yards per carry this season, and can do some damage against an average Hawkeye run defense.
5
How will Iowa’s crowd affect the game?
The Hawkeyes are a much better team at home, and have been for a while. They’ve won all but one game in Iowa City this season, including an impressive 48-7 blowout of Northwestern (which suddenly looks like a much better win). The Badgers have also been tremendous at home this year, outscoring opponents 281-89, but they’ve shown some vulnerability on the road, where they are just 2-2. Joel Stave will need to be locked in to effectively run the offense, ignoring a roaring crowd and one of the most hostile environments in the country. If he can tune out the noise and focus on communicating, the Badgers will be rolling. The Wisconsin-Iowa matchup is one of the most hotly contested rivalries in the Big Ten, and the series is just about even. The Badgers lead the overall head-tohead 43-42-2, but the Hawkeyes will be focused against one of their biggest rivals.

Iowa’s balance keeps Hawkeyes in West race By Brian Weidy the daily cardinal
Usually as a season progresses, teams become more predictable, falling into patterns of play where, on a weekto-week basis, fans and opponents know what to expect. In the case of the Iowa Hawkeyes, that is far from the truth. The Hawkeyes (4-2 Big Ten, 7-3 overall) sit in a three-way tie for second place in the Big Ten West. However, they will need a bundle of help to get to Indianapolis. The short version is that they need to beat the Badgers and Nebraska while the Gophers lose to Wisconsin. That’s a tall task to say the least, but not impossible as they get both Wisconsin and Nebraska at home. Iowa has the balance teams look for, except that at the end of the day, they’re not that good at either running the ball or throwing. Their quarterback, Jake Rudock, looks like Joel Stave with a little more burden to produce and is a bit less mistake prone. His numbers are pretty good, throwing for 1,863 yards on the season while completing 63.9 percent of his passes. He’s also thrown 12 touchdowns against just four interceptions

Gordon takes lead in Heisman chase By Jim Dayton the daily cardinal
This is the 10th edition (hooray, double digits!) of the Heisman Watch, a weekly feature tracking the candidates for college football’s most prestigious award. For last week’s rankings, check The Daily Cardinal website.
1. Melvin Gordon, Wisconsin RB (Last Week: 3)
It’s time for a changing of the guard. Maybe I’m a little biased. But Gordon’s performance last Saturday—408 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 25 carries— was the most dominating spectacle by an individual player I’ve ever seen in person. The biggest knock on Gordon’s Heisman case is, unfortunately and unfairly, Wisconsin’s two losses. But it certainly wasn’t his fault that the Badgers lost those two games. He ran for 140 yards and a touchdown against LSU, then mysteriously got benched in the second half. And against Northwestern, he ran for 259 yards. Where would Wisconsin be without Gordon? The quarterback problems have been well documented. Corey Clement is good, but he’s no Melvin. Without a world-class running back to bail them out on offense, the Badgers would arguably be around 6-4 instead of 8-2.
2. Marcus Mariota, Oregon QB (LW: 1)
Mariota has some incredible numbers, but he has yet to have an amazing game like Gordon last week. His best game of the year
came against Washington State. Gordon’s career day was against a Nebraska team that came into the game ranked 19th in the country in rushing defense. But Mariota is the quarterback of a team that should make the Playoff. That counts for something with Heisman voters, even though it shouldn’t. His 29 touchdowns and two interceptions are incredible, and he leads the country in both yards per pass attempt and efficiency rating. Watch out for that Oregon State game, though. The Beavers just pulled off a fourth-quarter comeback to knock off No. 6 Arizona State. The Civil War rivalry has gone Oregon’s way the past six years, but the game is in Corvallis and is prone to funky endings. A loss to an unranked team right at the end of the season could really hurt Mariota.
3. J.T. Barrett, Ohio State QB (LW: 5)
Barrett has morphed into some kind of super freshman this year. To go from his nightmare game against Virginia Tech and get the Buckeyes on the verge of the Playoff is remarkable. Barrett has thrown 29 touchdowns and eight picks, three of which were against the Hokies Sept. 6. He ranks third in efficiency rating and sixth in yards per attempt. Last week against Minnesota, he threw for three touchdowns and 300 yards, and also added 189 yards on the ground. That included an 86-yard touchdown scamper on a read option, where he outran a herd of Gophers in
the secondary to get to the house.
4. Dak Prescott, Mississippi State QB (LW: 2)
It didn’t have to end like this! It wasn’t that Mississippi State lost to Alabama. It was that Prescott had a terrible game, throwing three interceptions, all in Tide territory. Prescott was exposed by Alabama, finally showing the warts on his pocket passing abilities. I’ve said all along that Mississippi State did not have to go undefeated for Prescott to win the Heisman. I still believe that, but the issue is that the Bulldogs probably have to at least win the SEC West for Prescott to win the Heisman. They’re 5-1, a half-game behind the Crimson Tide. That means they have to win their remaining two games (home vs. Vanderbilt, away vs. Ole Miss) and have the Tide lose to Auburn at home in the season finale. Prescott’s stats are not in the same category as any of three players above in these rankings, and having a dud in Mississippi State’s biggest game in years is a killer.
5. Brett Hundley, UCLA QB (LW: 4)
UCLA was on a bye last week, so even though I dropped Hundley one spot, it’s not a reflection of his play. He leads the country in completion percentage, ranks seventh in efficiency rating and a respectable 17th in yards per attempt. He’s only thrown four interceptions all season. The biggest news from last week regarding Hundley’s Heisman chances was Arizona State’s loss to

Oregon State. The Bruins, already owning the tiebreaker with both Arizona State and Arizona, are now in control of their own destiny for the Pac-12 South championship. They play current division leader USC next Saturday. Wins always help a player’s Heisman chances. It’s why I finally had to take out Indiana’s Tevin Coleman a few weeks ago, thanks to the Hoosiers being the Hoosiers. If UCLA wins the South, it sets up a showdown in the conference title game with Oregon and fellow Heisman candidate Mariota.
6. Cody Kessler, USC QB (LW: 8)
Meanwhile, on the other side of next week’s USC-UCLA game is Cody “I’m More Than a Game Manager” Kessler. Last Thursday against Cal, Kessler ripped apart the Golden Bears for 371 yards and four touchdowns while completing nearly 75 percent of his passes. Kessler has nearly matched Mariota’s fantastic 29:2 touchdown to interception ratio, with 29 scores and just three picks of his own. Kessler’s Heisman case is essentially the same as Hundley’s, with similar numbers and a similar record. That’s why this weekend’s game against UCLA is so crucial. A win doesn’t clinch the division for the Trojans, but obviously it gets them that much closer to the Pac-12 title game.
7. Trevone Boykin, TCU QB (LW: 6)
Yeesh, that was ugly. TCU, a major Playoff contender, needed a second-half rally to beat Kansas last week, 34-30. The Jayhawks are a terrible program, having won exactly three Big 12 games since 2010. Boykin actually had a pretty good game, though. He completed 72 percent of his passes and threw for 330 yards. But the struggle against Kansas puts a stop to Boykin’s Heisman momentum, something that was so high two weeks ago after the Horned Frogs whooped Kansas State. TCU is on bye this week, but faces a stiff test on Thanksgiving against Texas. While the Longhorns are mediocre this season, they do have a superb defense, one that ranks 15th in passing yards allowed.
8. Blake Sims, Alabama QB (LW: 7)
Like pretty much every other Tide quarterback of the past decade, Sims is overlooked and underrated. While the defense and running backs have played key roles in Bama’s success this season, Sims has been a reliable presence under center and has helped the Tide become a Playoff contender. I’ll admit Sims is pretty much a game manager that throws it up to Amari Cooper (more on him below), but his numbers have still been excellent. He’s tossed 18 touchdowns and only three interceptions. Thanks to the win over Mississippi State, Alabama is in great shape to win the SEC West and possibly make the Playoff. Don’t expect Sims to win the Heisman, but he at least deserves some votes.
9. Jameis Winston, Florida State QB (LW: 9)
I already said my piece about Winston last week. His numbers have been mediocre and not befitting of a Heisman winner, but he remains in the race simply because so many people value wins over anything else. Winston is incredibly talented, but expectations are high for a player who dominated all of college football last season. It’s hard to live up to that, and no one should expect Winston to repeat last year’s success. But he’s been totally human this season, and nothing about his stat line screams “Heisman” to me. He’s thrown 12 interceptions this season, one of the worst marks in the nation. However, Winston will get plenty of Heisman votes because the Seminoles are the only Power Five school still undefeated.
10. Amari Cooper, Alabama WR (LW: Not Ranked)
Cooper is the best receiver in the nation. He leads the country in receiving yards, ranks third in receptions and is fourth in touchdown catches. So much of Blake Sims’ success has been thanks to Cooper, who has practically half the team’s receptions and receiving yards himself. But there’s positional bias here, considering only three wide receivers have ever won the Heisman.

Buckeyes, Badgers on collision course for Big Ten title game 1
2
By Jack Baer the daily cardinal
Thanks to Wisconsin’s, to put it politely, bulldozing of Nebraska, we now have a clear pitcure of what the Big Ten championship will look like. Ohio State has the East effectively sewn up and the Badgers continue to control their destiny, but now with some brand new safety cushions.
1. No. 7 Ohio State (10 first place votes), 140 points
Minnesota looked like they could give the Buckeyes a scare, given their strong run game and the chaos a snow game can bring. The Gophers put up a fight, but Urban Meyer and Co. ultimately prevailed. J.T. Barrett is now a legitimate Heisman candidate, possibly No. 3 after Mariota and Gordon, and the Buckeyes pretty much have their division clinched. This is now the Big Ten’s one and only Playoff candidate.
2. No. 10 Michigan State, 127 points
The Spartans still have an elite offense and a defense just about at their standards, which is quite good. Their only two losses are to teams that are still in Playoff contention (Oregon and Ohio State). Hopefully, people don’t forget that as we start to focus on the Big Ten championship and possibly forget that the East still has the top two teams in the conference.
3. No. 14 Wisconsin, 123 points
Personally, I was pretty shocked our voters didn’t want to bump the Badgers past Michigan State after their hilariously excessive beatdown of Nebraska. We already know about 408 and everything, but you also have to note that the UW defense held a Top 20 Husker offense to less than 200 total yards and forced five turnovers. The Badgers might be the only team left in the conference that can pose a challenge to Ohio State.
4. No. 21 Nebraska, 107 points
Just got smacked down in Madison? Ouch, but now it’s time to move on to a very important game with Minnesota. The Gophers will be playing to guarantee their road game at Wisconsin next week will decide the West division. Nebraska’s shot at the division is pretty much gone, but they’re still playing to get a New Year’s bowl.
5. Minnesota, 102 points
You can bet Jerry Kill and his players watched what Wisconsin’s power run game did to Nebraska and are licking their chops to play that same defense this Saturday. This is a little unfair to Minnesota, but its team is basically a poor man’s Wisconsin from where I’m standing. However, last Saturday made it pretty clear that homeless man’s Wisconsin could have beaten the Huskers.
6. Iowa, 90 points
Like Nebraska, the Hawkeyes are playing for bowl placement, as the division is basically out of reach at this point. They’ll be forced to play Wisconsin and Nebraska back-to-back to end their season, and their dismantling at the hands of Minnesota should makes those games scary.
7. Maryland, 72 points
The Terrapins might lead the conference in explainable losses. Here’s the list: West Virginia, Ohio State, Wisconsin and Michigan State. None of those games were close, but at least we know where the Terrapins stand in the conference. Losing Stefon Diggs for the year is a brutal loss though.
8. Northwestern, 64 points
What. I don’t really know how to explain how the Wildcats walked into South Bend and came away with a beyond shocking win over Notre Dame, all I know is that Wisconsin’s loss to this squad just became a lot more explainable. Indiana already misses its “Biggest non-conference win in the Big Ten” crown.

4
T-9. Penn State, 57 points
The Nittany Lions could get shut out at Illinois this weekend (never say never) and this season would be still be a positive. Penn State is eligible for their first bowl since 2012. This helps get over the fact that Christian Hackenberg is still somehow getting worse. A dominant win over Indiana is the oasis in the desert for the Scarlet Knights. Before their win over the Hoosiers, Rutgers had been crushed in three straight games by the Big Ten’s top teams. And now they take on Michigan State this weekend.
11. Michigan, 50 points
Michigan might not win a game again this year, as they are standing at five wins and have to play Maryland and Ohio State to end the season. It’s going to be all or nothing against the Terrapins, because the Wolverines are as likely to beat Ohio State as I am to strike out Bryce Harper.
12. Illinois, 27 points
Do you want me to talk about the Illini, or do you want me to list players J.J. Watt has more touchdowns than? I thought so, here’s an updated list: Calvin Johnson, T.Y. Hilton, Andre Johnson, Frank Gore, Julio Jones, Golden Tate, Anquan Boldin and Jason Witten.
13. Purdue, 23 points
The Boilermakers win the Big Ten’s award for Most Inconsequential Remaining Schedule, as the only games they have left are Northwestern and at Indiana. No word yet on if federal aid will be sent to people willingly attending those games.

Analytically forecasting the College Football Playoff By Badger Bracketology The top teams to make the playoff: 1. Florida State: 83.9% 2. Alabama: 68.3% 3. Ohio State: 50.1% 4. TCU: 43.1% 5. Mississippi State: 33.9% 6. Mississippi: 28.2% 7. Oregon: 25.4% 8. Baylor: 21.9% 9. Georgia: 16.1% 10. Marshall: 10.1% 11. UCLA: 8.07% 12. Wisconsin: 3.73% 13. Kansas State: 3.05% 14. Georgia Tech: 2.96%
The top teams to just miss the playoff (Chances a team will be ranked fifth):
1. Georgia: 14.8% 2. Alabama: 10.6% 3. Ohio State: 10.2% 4. Mississippi State: 8.02% 5. Marshall: 7.93% 6. UCLA: 7.27% 7. Baylor: 7.15% 8. Oregon: 6.03% 9. Georgia Tech: 5.68% 10. TCU: 5.27%
The fraction of playoffs with at least one team from each major conference: ACC: 84.8% Big 12: 56.1% Big Ten: 52.7% Pac-12: 32.8% SEC: 94.0%
The fraction of playoffs with two teams from each major conference: ACC: 2.1% Big 12: 12.0% Big Ten: 1.3% Pac-12: 1.2% SEC: 48.6% The SEC is the notable outlier in this section. In comparison to last week,
Alabama and FSU’s chances went up the most, showing the importance of late-season, biggame conference wins. Despite a thorough beatdown of Nebraska, Wisconsin’s chances barely went down. At first glance, this seems odd, but when we take into account all the other factors, like Mississippi State getting their first loss, it makes a fair amount of sense. One point of interest is the fact that Marshall has a 10.1 percent chance, despite not being ranked in any of the Playoff Committee’s rankings yet this season. Even if they win out, they have a lot of teams to leapfrog, but it may still be possible. In every one of their categories, the SEC appears to be the top conference, including earning outlier status in the comparison of chances of conference having more than one team in the inagural Playoff. By this same logic, the Pac-12 appears to have the worst chances of being a top conference. All projections come from Badger Bracketology, a sports analytics team from the College of Engineering headed by associate professor Laura McLay. Their methodology uses data science and discrete simulations to forecast not just the best teams in the country, but the ones most likely to make the Playoff based on their future opponents. They do this by simulating the outcomes of future matchups and ranking teams based on those outcomes. This is their ensemble model, which is a combination of their three different ranking methods. Conference championship games aren’t included, so this is more of a forecast of the hierarchy going into championship week. Check back as the season goes on for updates.

Conference races continue to take shape in Week 13 No. 12 Kansas State at West Virginia
This Thursday night matchup features a pair of conference opponents who are looking to get back on track. Kansas State is looking to rebound from a disappointing 41-20 loss to TCU two weeks ago, while West Virginia will try to snap a two-game losing streak. Head coach Bill Snyder continues to work wonders in Manhattan at the age of 75, as the Wildcats once again find themselves toward the top of the Big 12 standings. Quarterback Jake Waters has performed well for Kansas State in the final year of his collegiate career, throwing for 13 touchdowns and 2,169 yards through nine games. West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen has the Mountaineers back on the right track after a couple of down years, though a weak finish to the season would put a damper on what has otherwise been a solid campaign that saw them beat Baylor. Morgantown is always a tough place to play for opponents, so there’s certainly a chance that the Mountaineers will defeat the Wildcats for the first time as a member of the Big 12. —Zach Rastall
UNC at No. 25 Duke
A classic matchup of alltime great coaches: Mike Krzyzewski vs. Roy Williams. Oh wait, they’re playing football? Never mind. The Blue Devils have been better the last two years than almost any time in their football history, but they stumble into this game after a one-point loss to mediocre Virginia Tech. North Carolina isn’t having a year to remember, but once this rivalry game rolls around, all bets are off, with the Tar Heels holding the all-time lead 40-21. Neither offense is flashy, but Duke has one of the stoutest defenses, ranking 11th in the nation in points per game, unlike UNC, which ranks 125th. Duke’s twoheaded monster rushing attack of Shaun Wilson and Shaquille Powell should dismantle the porous North Carolina defense.
For the Tar Heels to have any chance of winning, dual threat quarterback Marquise Williams will need to play his best game of the season, making up for the team’s lack of defense. No matter which team wins, their bitter rival will be sure to remind them that it doesn’t matter, because it’s basketball season now. —Andrew Tucker
No. 24 USC at No. 11 UCLA
Were it not for ESPN’s bias against starting “College Gameday” at 6 a.m. local time, Los Angeles could’ve been the show’s location this week. The Pac-12 South race likely hangs in the balance as the cross-town rivals take the field Saturday night. Both teams also come into the game on winning streaks, adding yet another layer to the already intense rivalry game. Both teams come into the game with high-scoring offenses. USC averages 35.2 points per game and UCLA averages 34.7, good for 29th and 32nd in the nation respectively. The defense is where the difference lies—USC only allows 23.3 points per game, while UCLA allows 27.9. Brett Hundley leads the balanced UCLA offense that thrashed Washington last week as the quarterback accumulated 320 total yards and two touchdowns both in the air and on the ground. Cody Kessler, the USC quarterback, dismantled the weak Cal secondary last week in a 371-yard, four-touchdown performance. With both teams clicking offensively, expect a shootout in the battle for the Victory Bell. —Andrew Tucker
No. 15 Arizona at No. 20 Utah
While Oregon has the Pac-12 North locked up, the race in the Pac-12 South remains wide open, with every team besides Colorado still in it. Both Arizona and Utah are coming off dramatic victories from last week, with the Wildcats defeating Washington on a 47-yard field goal as time expired and the Utes beating Stanford in double overtime.
Rich Rodriguez and Arizona made their presence known nationwide when they went into Eugene and took down Oregon in early October. Since then, the Wildcats have dropped games against USC and UCLA, but still have a chance to capture the division crown. Me a nwh i l e, Kyl e Whittingham’s Utes are 7-3 and well on their way to reaching the postseason for the first time since 2011. Unlike Arizona, Utah has beaten both UCLA and USC this season, in addition to winning a pair of double-overtime contests. Neither team can afford to lose another game if they are to represent the South in the Pac-12 championship game, so expect a hardfought battle Saturday afternoon. —Zach Rastall
Minnesota at No. 21 Nebraska
Both of these teams are coming off difficult Big Ten losses last week and looking to salvage their conference championship hopes. The Gophers were down 31-14 to Ohio State with 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter last week, and they brought it down to a onetouchdown lead before they ran out of time. Nebraska, as we all know, was on the losing end of a record-setting performance by a certain Wisconsin running back. These two offenses live and die by the running game. The Cornhuskers rank 10th in the nation in rushing with over 220 yards per game, while Minnesota ranks 27th. Neither team averages more than 200 passing yards. Defensively, these teams have had their ups and downs, but overall, they’re pretty respectable. It is going to be a battle in the trenches and it could come down to whose quarterback can make the biggest difference through the air. Nebraska’s sophomore Tommy Armstrong Jr. has been the more solid passer, but neither team’s QB been consistent. There will be plenty of motivation for both teams as they try to keep up with first place Wisconsin, and the loser of this game will be done in the Big Ten race. —Lorin Cox
