    Doesn't matter. Iowa beat Nebraska and will therefore leapfrog us.

    Kirk Ferentz earning that lifetime contract!

    I'm watching the game now. Both their inept offenses are making their defenses look good.

    Given a month to prepare, I like our odds against either team.

    But doesn't mean shit unless we win next Friday.

    Michigan. They eliminate the B1G having any chance of 2 teams in, unless there is massive chaos elsewhere.

    We also want Harbaugh because he's never won when it REALLY counts and because his QB sucks.

    It doesn't really matter, but we want Michigan. That way Michigan wins the Big 10 and eliminates any bullshit with Penn State.

    There is absolutely no way, Ohio Stste gets in, that would undermine the entire establishment and the must win own conference title bull shit.
    Plus I want PSU to play Wisconsin for the big 10 championship

    The goal is for everybody in the Big 10 to end up with 2 losses to get UW in the 2/3 game in Phoenix ...

    Michigan gives the best chance for that IMO

    Ohio State is getting in if they win today.

    Disagree. Ohio State isn't falling from #2 to out of the playoff with a win over Michigan. Ohio State win means committee has to choose between Pac12 champ and Big Ten champ. Michigan win means committee has room for both. Michigan win is far better for us.

    A Michigan win basically eliminates any possibility of the committee fucking us. An Ohio State win keeps that door cracked open.

    Go Blue!

    The short history of the playoff has never had to deal with the situation that presents itself with an Ohio State win today and their subsequent resume. 11-1, road win over the possible Big 12 champ (if OU wins), possibly the B1G champ (if it's Wisconsin)... no one knows yet. The committee definitely doesn't.

    OSU hasn't looked good in several games this season. According to the board pussy, that OSU defense sucks because MI threw a pick.

    I agree. I'd like to get in in the event we won but don't crush them. A Michigan win guarantees that.

    I think the committee puts a 2 loss B1G champ at 3. maybe even 2.
    We need a Clemson loss

    If Louisville loses today to Kentucky and Florida beats Florida State we might not need Clemson to lose. Their resume just keeps taking hits.

    To the resume argument - it's another reason why we want BOTH Colorado and USC to win impressively today - moves them up

    if the committee is actually watching this game they will not consider this the epic #3 v #2 game they want it to be.

    These Big 10 teams remind me of the 70s and 80s teams that would always roll into the Rose Bowl as huge favorites and lose regularly

    Clemson's win over Louisville was courageous.
