I think it's more likely that Iowa could beat Wisconsin then Michigan State could beat Penn State. However, if Wisconsin goes on to the Rose Bowl without having played Ohio State, do they really deserve it? |
Really? I think it's more likely that PSU will lose on the road against MSU than Wisconsin losing at home against Iowa in Alvarez's last home Big 10 game.

The way I see it is that if we win out we have a great shot at a BCS game regardless. We travel well, and will continue to work our way back up the rankings if we take care of business.

1. conf win % (tOSU and Wisky Tie)
2. overall win % (tOSU and Wisky Tie - Hawaii negates Texas)
3. Head to head (N/A)
4. Last to go rule (tOSU 2004 > Wisky 2000)

Let me ask this one more time then. Since Wisky already dropped 1 conf game to Northwestern, and OSU dropped 1 conf (PSU) and 1 nonconf (Texas), then why wouldn't Wisky beating PSU (putting JoePa at 2 conf losses) and losing to Hawaii (making them 1 conf & 1 nonconf loss) make OSU eligible for the Big 10 automatic BCS Bid? |

In that exact scenario because of the last to go rule.
We were the last team to go so Wisky gets the nod based on tie breaker #4.
I'd bet my meager Vcash it won't happen that way so don't lose too much sleep over it, lol.
I think PSU is gonna get midevil on that ass then sucumb to the schitzo team that is Sparty.

I see - nevermind  I thought the last to go rule meant that the last team to go to the BCS game would get to go again.
It's all becoming clear now. Go Penn State! Then Go MSU! And, as always, Go Bucks! |
