    The best B1G scenario in terms of most profitable is OSU beats PSU and Indiana

    12-0 Oregon
    11-1 OSU
    11-1 PSU
    11-1 Indiana

    That gets them 4 bids assuming Indiana is remotely competitive with OSU

    13-0 Miami and 11-1 Clemson get in under almost all scenarios. Clemson would be ranked 6thish at that point.

    When they show shots of OSU DCoord, it looks like he’s holding a walkie talkie. Like, is that what he’s using to communicate to the player??

    Yes, after they tied in 1973, the Big Ten implemented the rule that the team who had not played the Rose Bowl the longest got to go.

    The Big Ten formerly only allowed one team to go to a bowl, the Rose Bowl, but also changed that rule in 1975.

    From 1972-1975, Ohio State did four straight Rose Bowls. From 1972-1974, Michigan went 30-2-1 overall, but 0-2-1 to Ohio State and did not go to a bowl.

    Michigan got tie breaking nonsense revenge in 1982, when it won the tie breaker and got the Rose Bowl invite despite losing to Ohio State when OSU finished 7-1 in conference and Michigan 8-1, so Michigan had the higher winning percentage.

    OSU missed the Rose Bowl four times from 1981-1998 because it tied conference records with a team it didn’t play or tied and had gone more recently than that team Iowa (81), Wisconsin (93), Northwestern (95), and Wisconsin (98).

    It doesn’t seem like “nonsense” to me that the team with the higher win percentage would be considered the champion.

    "their schedule is pathetic and if they lose to OSU they have no business in the playoff as those 11 wins came vs no one"

    and to be fair, it's not exactly inaccurate. assuming IU loses to OSU and ends 11-1, their 11 wins will have come vs:

    Nebraska (7-5)
    Washington (6-6)
    Michigan St (6-6)
    Michigan (6-6)
    Maryland (5-7)
    Northwestern (4-8)
    UCLA (3-9)
    Purdue (2-10)
    Charlotte (G5; currently 3-5)
    Florida International (G5; currently 3-6)
    Western Illinois (FCS)

    seriously, I'm with you. but if they are 10-2, they will be in the discussion

    there are 22 P4 teams who can still win 10+ games and they are 1 of them. I have 14 of those teams currently projected to win 10+
