I think it's fair.

Even if you made Ohio State take an L against Michigan, the worst they could finish is tied with Indiana.

And the number one tie breaker should always be head to head.

And Ohio State beat Indiana head to head.

Wait, what, huh!?!? Why would Ohio State have to take an L against meeeechegan when it was the wolvereeeens that can't play this weekend?

No. It’s a joke.

you made the rules, you can’t change them 98% of the way into the season
What’s a joke is denying a team that already earned and clinched the division over a technicality. But trust me, it’s no wonder why this kind of common sense is lost on today’s generation.

Your're good at rationalizing old-timer.

Yes, they were one of the teams that voted to play initially. They did "voluntarily" decide to not play Illinois, but other than that they've pushed as hard as they could to play every week. They were the only B1G team to come back after a pause in activities after only one week

Hmmm. Was it a Covid-19 decision not to play Illinois? Or they just didn't want to play them in general

I know this has been pointed out in other threads. I'm not reading this entire crapfest. The reason they changed the rule is because even had OSU played scUM this weekend and somehow managed to lose, they would still be in the B1G CCG because they have the tiebreaker over Indiana.

The rule they’re changing is a conference rule, not an NCAA rule, so as far as I’m concerned they can do whatever they want. If the outcome of the rules they agreed on before the season doesn’t turn out the way they wanted, change the rules.

The question is how the selection committee views it. If they select OSU for the pla

I will have no argument about the B1G fucking this all up. I wopulent even argue if the the CFB committee decided to keep us out of the playoff for not having the resume. That being said, they absolutely deserve to play in the B1G CG. They did try to get in a game this weekend to fulfill the 6 game requirement, but the commissioner want going to budge on changing the schedule up. It's not the Buckeyes fault.

The commissioner is a retard

I dont honestly know why it would matter or why they'd need to . OSU will get a 6th game either way and that game will be versus a ranked team regardless. Its not like the committee isn't going to know OSU is the best team in the league even if they don't get the trophy for it. Does it matter if they beat NW instead of Iowa or Wisky?

I mean I guess they did what they thought best but all its doing is making the league look even dumber imo and all for nothing honestly. The irony will come when Iowa beats Bucky and Illinois beats NW and OSU ends up playing vs a team that dies less for them than they would've got by playing the 2nd place team lol

Eh... I'm an Iowa fan and could give a shit less. Like we are ranked 3rd on basketball and if you told me we could win the B10 but would lose S16 or we'd not win the B10 and I'd get no guarantees on how deep we make it in the tourney im taking the latter all day

The BigTen has shown not only a lack of judgement, but a lack of integrity.
But it wasn't a surprise. Integrity is a rare thing in 2020.

Their is no truer gauge of a man's character than the way in which he employs his strength, his power.

Somebody on here berated me for suggesting that Wisconsin schedule BYU. He related that the B1G said no ooc games.

Mmmky.

lmao at the poll. Buckeye haters out in force.

It's laughable to think anyone other than Ohio State should be in the CCG in the East........

And I have to say, it's amazing to me how big this is being made out to be for changing a made up rule from a couple months ago, comparing it to the ACC and them changing the rules. OSU's situation is being blown up 100x vs. the ACC's situation which I don't recall next to anything being said about it......... wonder why that is.
