Get StartedDidn't they say it would be relative to where the teams finished? In this case just have Northwestern play Rutgers in the championship game, amirite?
Is Ohio State versus Northwestern the Big Ten championship game? Did they change the rules so Ohio State could qualify?
You really had us going there, tinsel.To answer my own question yes. I guess I?m the only one here who didn?t know the news, but like everybody else here I certainly figured it was going to happen.
Here is the B1G.
?We haven?t changed our rules, you folks misinterpreted them from the start. Our rules were a team had to have six games played to be eligible to win the conference championship. You interpreted that as meaning that was required to play for the conference championship. At the end of the conference championship game, Ohio state will in fact have the required six games played to be eligible to win the conference championship.?
OK, not really. I made that up. You guys probably figured that out too!

I think I heard they rationalized it by saying "even if UM would have won that game, OSU would still be in the Championship game over IU because they won the head to head" which can be translated to "OSU gives the BIG the best chance for a huge payday if they make it to the playoff"
