great work by the Big 10 network. "Here's a highlight video of interceptions that doesn't show the interception"

IMO, Minny is the most important one for us this year

I think I agree. Because if Nebraska pulls off that upset then it may springboard them into an 8 win type of year.

But if they lose as an 8 point underdog, I'm not sure it's the end of the world.

I'm with @Bootleg11. Minnesota is a huge game if we win but not huge if we lose. I think the biggest game for where we are as a program is at Illinois. That's a game we really need to win and should tell us if we're a top 50% West division team or a bottom 50%.

Colorado is also a huge game if we lose. If we're 0-2 after Colorado that will be pretty brutal.

The tweet was about most important conference game. CU game is super important too though.

I think Illinois is more important than Minnesota, that's what I was trying to say.

Why Illinois?

If we lose Illinois it probably confirms we're still 5th/6th/7th in the division. It's also tough to get to a bowl game without that win imo

Meh, all games are important but I just don't see any way that Illinois could be considered nearly as important as the Minny game.

Exactly. The Minnesota games sets the tone for the entire season with how we play (and hopefully beat the used car salesman). Its is the most important game IMO.

We can lose to Minnesota and still win 7-8 games. Whereas lose to Illinois and we're probably not making a bowl. And we'd be starting off more likely than not 0-3 in conference.

I agree Minnesota is a huge game. Probably #3 to me. But a bigger game to me is one you can't afford to lose, and to me that's a game like Illinois or Purdoodoo.

I typically like your football takes. I'm only a hater on you in the HyVee parking lot.
