Assuming for a second here that OSU runs the table and goes to the NC game, could a 9-3 Michigan team make it to the Rose Bowl?
And I hope IU doesn't get snubbed. Not after their coach died |

Considering the ASU loss, I'd say they'd be hard pressed to get there. And.. especially if it's Oregon in the Rose.... seen that one already.
Michigan has done pretty well to move past the awful start to this season, but I'm not sure that anyone has completely forgotten.

Man this is why you just don't lose to NU if you're MSU. It would be nice to see a guy like Ringer shine in a bowl game. But it's an up hill battle,Michigan and PSU are too strong for them imo,and I don't see em' outscoring Painter in his last game in West Lafayette.(MSU has not beaten anyone away from home)

Ok, but what if (hypothetically, don't flip) we beat you guys? |

Well, in that case, where the hell else is Michigan gonna go? Under that scenario, they'll get the Big Ten Auto bid.

The big10 gets two teams in the BCS again and consequently has a losing bowl record again.

I remember a few years ago that one team in the entire country (Akron) was bowl-elligible and didn't make it to a bowl game. That was the same year that some SEC teams got in a brawl, and one team self-imposed a punishment of no bowl games. I think it was South Carolina. Lou Holtz's last year, maybe? Anyway, they were bowl-elligible, if it weren't for the fight. And since then, I think they've added one or two bowl games, without removing any.
My point is that pretty much every bowl-elligible team makes it to SOME bowl game. If the Big Ten gets 9 teams to be bowl-elligible, they MIGHT have one team not make a bowl game. And the way it works is the 7 teams make it to the 7 conference tie-ins, and then whoever is left has to get into bowls that have no conference affiliation, or into bowls whose conferences didn't have enough bowl-elligible teams.
