Maybe you missed the part about the committee valuing conference championships. 1 loss OSU + beating MSU and a win in the B1G championship game vs ND would be a debate.

No debate. A Big Ten championship win would not mean much, if anything, considering Nebraska would most likely be their opponent. ND also holds advantage over MSU in similar matchups. ND beat Michigan and Purdue more impressively than Michigan State.

How anyone can root for OSU regardless of who they are playing is beyond me. Must not live in Ohio.

Ugh. OSU will be a top ten team by the time they play MSU. MSU might jump us eventually if we don't look impressive.

Nebraska is ranked 16 right now and just blew someone out. A sub top10 win in a conference championship game means nothing? sureeeee

We have tough games coming up. They won't ever jump us as long as we win.

That wasn't what you poignantly said "Nah" to. You said nah to OSU being top10 by the time they play MSU. If OSU wins out between now and then they most certainly will be top10.

These aren't computers doing the rankings. Nebraska is 16th, but they certainly aren't that good. Nowhere near in fact. They haven't beaten anybody decent all season and the committee should be fully aware of how overrated Nebraska is. Total fools gold. It's like when Mississippi State was #7 2 years ago, and got thwomped by Alabama.

If you don't think an MSU team with one loss to Oregon and one more win than us is at least a danger to pass us, I'd like what you're smoking.

Michigan State's presumably most impressive win would be against Ohio State...pretty much ruins any chance they have right there.

What happened with the payout? Not complaining just wondering.

I was wiping my counter, cleaning up the house...then I noticed this game was on. Turned out to be a good one...hard to root for either of them.

OSU won, they showed Franklin then I smiled...then Myer and I frowned. Lose, lose.
