If Iowa loses to Nebraska but then beats MSU...

[theboardref]

tOSU's best shot is if Penn State upsets MSU and they beat Michigan then Iowa. If MSU wins, then the winner of the MSU-Iowa CCG will almost certainly get in (assuming Iowa is unbeaten at the time) and that will be the only B1G rep.

Only way for tOSU to get in w/o the CCG is if something really wacky happens and everyone ahead of them loses. It happened before when Ohio State defaulted into the BCS title game vs LSU a while back, but its the most unlikely of scenarios.

That is exactly my thought process. Very improbably but not impossible. My belief is if you don't play in the title game though, you should not be rewarded for playing one less game.

0-loss Iowa wins out (NEB and MSU)? CFP
Iowa loses to NEB but beats MSU? no CFP

so...if Iowa loses to NEB but wins the B1GCG they'll have to settle for the Rose Bowl.

Maps be damned. They were all redrawn in 2001 placing Nebraska in the middle of the country.

MSU will get in with 1 loss too...probably bumping ND or OU.

No. Not in the scenario where they just lost to Iowa in the CCG

In the scenario the OP created not come out to 3 teams from the B1G having 1 loss. He changed it like 4 times or so.
