Let's assume for argument sake and to make everyone start off happy...
We win
NSU, WSU, K, Ind, Army, Md
Going to give us a win at PSU so that they are not part of the discussion.
That gives us 7 wins and 3 Conf wins. We are bowling again no matter what.
The choice:
Surprise the world and beat 7-0 OSU who is ranked number 1
lose the rest of the games
We end up 8-4 and best bowl we have ever been in but...Conference looks weaker because neither OSU/MSU end up undefeated and everyone is questioning if the B1G deserves a playoff spot.
or
We lose a close game(under one score) to 7-0 OSU who ends up running the table to a 2nd straight NC
We end up 7-5, still go bowling but mid level bowl but because OSU has won 2 straight NC's the conference is stronger then ever and everyone is talking how the B1G is the new SEC...
