Contending teams are really bunched at the top with six teams with five or fewer losses. Michigan has six losses, but they are in 3rd place in the standings. Here are the remaining weekend series left for those teams.
IU (9-3) - MD, at NW, PU, at MSU
MD (8-4) - at IU, Neb, MN, at PSU
Mich (9-6) - Okla St. (NC), at MN, NW, at OSU
IA (7-5) - at PSU, OSU, MSU, at NW
MSU (7-5) - NW, at IL, at IA, IU
Rutgers (7-5) - at PU, PSU, IL, at MN
Neb (7-5) - MN, at MD, PSU, at PU
On paper, it appears that Michigan has the easiest remaining conference schedule, with Iowa probably having the next easiest schedule.
