Assuming Indiana can play the game next week, it makes sense for the second place teams in each division to play each other for a potential New Year's Six bowl game invitation.
In that situation, Wisconsin & Minnesota have been lobbying to play each other...in a rivalry game that was canceled (most played game between two schools in major college football).
The rest of the matchups are a mess, as there are many "two win" teams in the Big Ten right now. Parker Gabriel from Huskers Extra suggested that Nebraska would play Rutgers. In his scenario, Michigan would play Purdue. That matchup makes sense cuz if the teams can't play, then only one game would be affected.
If Badgers beat Hawkeyes, then the above scenario could still play out cuz Indiana and Wisconsin just played...however, it wouldn't make the matchups as obvious.
