I have decided to switch my final two at-large teams of Illinois and Minnesota. Minnesota has the better Top 50 record, but the worst loss between the two. I believe that Illinois has the better wins (slightly), but Minnesota's win at Illinois will be the tiebreaker for the committee. Also, the committee may have well decided the teams' fate by this time. After all, they went on record a few years ago as saying the Big Ten Championship Game didn't matter that much since it finishes so late. I think that helps Minnesota as well.
