Illinois - Ohio State cancelled

[froginmn]

Due to COVID in the tOSU program. Ohio State needs to get to six games to qualify for the B1G championship (Maryland issues caused a previous cancellation). As they have only two games left, they'll need to hope they get their own house in order and that Michigan State and Michigan both stay healthy.

Harbaugh is gonna organize a full campus party at Michigan in hopes to force that game to be cancelled too.

Somehow I’m pretty sure that if tOSU only gets 5 games that 6 game rule will magically be amended

Well if we've learned anything in 2020 it's that you can make up the rules to just about anything totally on the fly and even then you don't really have to follow them.

One possible scenario has Northwestern winning out (Michigan state, Minnesota, Illinois) and playing Indiana in the B1G championship.

If Northwestern wins, do they go to the playoff at 9-0? Or does tOSU get in?

Ohio State in, no matter what....

I mean to be fair, Ohio State deserves to be in.

I am beginning to think the playoff committee should abandon the playoff this year. I can see a scenario where the playoff are two SEC (Alabama and aTm) and two ACC (Clemson and ND). That doesn’t make any sense to me since Clemson/ND will have already played twice and Alabama/aTm once, which was a total blowout.

Which is why they should test out an 8 team playoff this year.

At the very least, the CFP money needs to be evenly divided among the conferences. I don't really know, maybe it already is, but it needs to be.

It's taken almost 6 years of posts here about the CFP and Ohio State to finally learn this?

They've beaten Nebraska, Penn State, Rutgers, and Indiana (the only good win). Not their fault but a 5-0 t OSU doesn't exactly deserve to be in.

Froginbedford is absolutely right: no matter what, tOSU is in.

Give cincy and someone else a shot. I agree 2 ACC and 2 sec would suck but there are other options
