Big 10 considering changing conference rules to ensure Ohio State qualifies for Big 10 Championship Game

[miah]

Can't imagine how much the SEC will lose their shit if this happens after the whining they've been doing since the ACC formally set up the Clemson/Notre Dame CCG.

The SEC is the golden child and gets whatever the heck they want. They should sit this argument out. IMHO

What if OSU beats bama in the semi finals?.............. I think we'll hear bitching about "OSU shouldn't have even been allowed in the playoff"......

No question.

Starting to think that maybe the B1G should consider doing away with conference divisions, so that no matter what every season you can simply pit #1 vs. #2 in the CCG.....

And just like that the 6 game rule is out the door. December 19 tOSU vs NW. As a fan I'm very disappointed that they couldn't reschedule any game this Saturday. I think I'm the long run this will come back and bite is in the CAN playoff with the lack of games getting more experience and not really knowing what weaknesses we have. That's assuming we get the nod. If IT upsets Bama, and that very well could happen, we have a shit show on our hanfs. If we don't get in, that's on the lack of leadership of the B1G. I'll still be happy watching them in a January bowl game. I cannot wait for 2020 to end.

Kind of what I was hoping.....I'd rather just rearrange schedules to give us a game this weekend.

not even sure how much it helps. OSU still plays someone next week and could argue that team might be as good or better than NW. Not like if not in the CCG they were gonna take a 1-loss BIG champ over a 6-0 OSU, especially if it is IU who OSU beat (if OSU wins their game).

For me it's not so much about the competition, but more about these kids getting rusty and keeping their heads in it. Just my opinion though.

I'll admit it's also me being selfish....want to watch them play this weekend.

Every conference should do away with divisions

That's where I'm at. It's been a major downer only getting to see the Buckeyes play 5 times so far. totally sucks.

The Daily Hoosier: "The Big Ten's Six Game Rule Was Intended to Avoid Pesky Teams Like Indiana, and Eliminated When It Backfired"

That happened in 2014 and our fans were the few NOT complaining about tOSU getting in the playoff. You might want to thing about who the tOSU haters are. Hint: They aren’t Bama fans for the most part.

I shouldn't have singled out bama fans. but the sentiment would have been said by some. But you are right, I've not seen that Bama's fanbase are the OSU haters.......

Stand behind your convictions. If OSU wins the B1G CCG and is invited to the CFP, refuse the check.

Now, Big 10's considering changing conference rules again to make sure Ohio State qualifies for the College Football Playoff:

Ryan Day hints that the Big Ten 21-day rule is being discussed. Says it's being looked at really hard. Gene Smith pushed hard for change last week. Will be a big decision looming for Big Ten next week.

 

[Boglodyte]

big ten has never been one to stick by their convictions, so this should be no surprise for anybody

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Get better rest of BIG Ten

I mean...let's be honest

Michigan and Penn state have zero reason to be this shitty.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

But instead let's whine about osu who is making the conference money. Boo fucking hoo

Now, Big 10's considering changing conference rules again to make sure Ohio State qualifies for the College Football Playoff:

This would have nothing to do with qualifying and everything to do with getting players back for the semi. As it stands right now, the B1G would say players have to sit out for 21 days bc of "safety" while playing against a team that only requires 10. So yes, Ohio State is going to fight that, and most likely win the argument

Ohio States play yesterday didn't do them any favors imo. I think they'll get #4 but will get a lot of "heat" by how "poorly" they played. EXCEPT for that holy crap running game! My God that was a thing of beauty! Have to credit NW though, played their guts out!
