Big Ten fans already have a pretty good idea on which team will represent the Big Ten East in the championship game, it’s either going to be Ohio State or Michigan. But the Big Ten West can come down to three teams: Wisconsin, Iowa, or Minnesota.

The team with the easiest path to the Big Ten Championship game is Wisconsin. All they have to do Saturday is to defeat Minnesota and the  Badgers are back in Indianapolis.

Minnesota and Iowa will need help to get in.

If Iowa can defeat Nebraska and Minnesota knocks off Wisconsin, the Hawkeyes are headed to Lucas Oil Stadium.  Minnesota has the toughest path to the Big Ten Championship game, but not impossible.

The Gophers would have to defeat Wisconsin, hope Nebraska defeats Iowa and need Purdue to take down Indiana.

Get ready for a fun weekend!
