How much does Rutgers lose? Curious if that money is distributed equally since RU isn’t getting full share.

The following estimates of the CFP revenue distribution are based on preliminary calculations for the 2019-2020 season and are only approximate projections of potential revenue distribution from each component:

1. Each conference will receive $300,000 for each of its schools when the school's football team meets the NCAA's APR for participation in a post-season football game. Each independent institution will also receive $300,000 when its football team meets that standard.
2. Each of the 10 conferences will also receive a base amount. For conferences that have contracts for their champions to participate in the Orange, Rose, or Sugar Bowl, the base combined with the full academic performance pool will be approximately $66 million for each conference. The five conferences that do not have contacts for their champions to participate in the Orange, Rose or Sugar Bowls will receive approximately $90 million in aggregate (full academic pool plus base), which the conferences will distribute as they choose. Notre Dame will receive a payment of $3.19 million if it meets the APR standard; the other three independents will share $1.56 million.
3. A conference will receive $6 million for each team that is selected for the semifinal games. There will be no additional distribution to conferences whose teams qualify for the national championship game. A conference will receive $4 million for each team that plays in a non-playoff bowl under the arrangement.
4. Each conference whose team participates in a playoff semifinal, Cotton, Fiesta, or Peach Bowl, or in the national championship game will receive $2.43 million to cover expenses for each game.
5. Additionally, certain conferences in the Football Championship Subdivision will receive $2.7 million in aggregate.

Thanks for this.

Maybe didn’t articulate my question well - does the BIG distribute that money equally once received?

If OSU is not a conference champion that will be the excuse to leave them out, bank on it.

Rutgers and other B1G schools will lose millions of dollars if OSU is not in the playoff.

What?? You do realize that 3 teams have made the playoffs without being conference champion. One of them was a 1 lose Ohio State already. Bama and ND the others. The committee isn't looking for an excuse to drop OSU. If you have paid attention they have had them in the top 4 all along. This committee like OSU.

If OSU was in a spot to get in without a conference championship which is a big data point while playing significantly less games than the other teams then they would have been ranked ahead of a 1 loss Clemson team who hasn't beaten anyone good.

 

[jtung230]

Can we trade the MD game for full share ASAP?

Jesus. Some of you go a long way to see how the committee can screw the Big Ten. Watch the games. Educate yourself. Stop looking for things to complain about THAT HASN'T EVEN HAPPENED YET. Every year we see this nonsense before the season was over. In the end the committee gets it right everytime after the season is over.

 

[TDIrish27]

Clemson beat # 10 ranked Miami giving them their only loss.

If you want OSU in the Playoffs root for Bama to beat Florida and ND to beat Clemson. Bama beating Florida alone should do the trick.

If Florida beats Bama they're both in no doubt about it. Clemson is in if they beat us.

Will come down to OSU and ND and the committee will take ND on basis of more games and SOS.

OSU is now 30 plus spots behind all the other candidates on the SOS criteria. Four of their 5 wins are against teams that have won 2 games.

 

[jtung230]

But beating another 2 win Mich team somehow makes a difference?

 

[jtung230]

Hobbs better be on the phone cutting deals.

 

[ScarletDave]

How about, we take another shlacking from OSU in exchange for all our debts paid to the B1G ?? I’ll take it

 

[WhiteBus]

Looks like Minnesota might sit. OSU vs Nebraska

 

[anon_ivydyf0amkzay]

...and when/if they change the rules to help OSU and then the B1G west champion has to pause and someone else pauses? What then?

This soap is fun to watch.

OSU needs the Big Ten title to make it.

The committee does a terrible job in general and hasn't gotten it right every time. 2015 Ohio St, one of the best teams of all time didn't make it when it should have. 2016 Ohio State did make it when they shouldn't have and ND should have never made the playoff and is going to lose by 30+ to OSU (if they make it) or Alabama.

 

[Roy_Faulker]

Yes

ok - then hell yes we want in!

The ACC is beyond terrible and Miami would have 4-5 losses in the Big Ten or SEC.

 

[Roy_Faulker]

Sorry - don’t wish ND success in any sport.

May their grads find success in life!

 

[nick614]

A better option would be to let us demolish MD for you and you can play them on Dec 19 instead.

It isn't changing a rule, which was arbitrarily made up a month or so ago, to help OSU. It is changing a dumb rule to help the conference. OSU in the CFP means millions of dollars for the conference and doesn't make the conference as big of a joke as it already is. Having your only undefeated team not playing for the conference championship is a complete joke.

The committee does a terrible job in general and hasn't gotten it right every time. 2015 Ohio St, one of the best teams of all time didn't make it when it should have. 2016 Ohio State did make it when they shouldn't have and ND should have never made the playoff and is going to lose by 30+ to OSU (if they make it) or Alabama.

2015?? You can't be serious. Michigan State goes for the Big Ten. Ohio State isn't a conference champion and were ranked 7th behind #5 Iowa!
Get your facts straight too
2016 OSU made the playoffs. #3 seed.
2017 they miss with 2 regular season loses. No ND that year.
2018 OSU 6th ranked so not even close to be considered against 3 undefeateds (ND is one of them) and a 1 loss Oklahoma

Let's look at how the committee gets it wrong almost every year.

2014: Florida St, everyone knew they weren't a top 4 team and the ACC is bad. TCU/Baylor were better.
2015: Ohio St, this is the best OSU team of all time most likely, should have been in over MSU or Oklahoma
2016: Ohio St & Washington weren't top 4 teams and PSU should have been in over one of them
2017: Ohio St was better than UGA
2018: Ohio St was better than Oklahoma
2019 was correct but only because it was impossible to mess up.

Insisting on OSU in 2015 is beyond stupid. Shows your bias and hate for any selection committee. They nailed on all of them who got in. If you want to argue the top 4 order of ranking I'd go along.
PSU over OSU. [roll] 2 loss team over Big Ten Conference Champ. Stop!

Yes 2015 Ohio State is one of the best teams of all time.

Yes 2016 PSU over 2016 OSU, they beat OSU h2h and won the Big Ten championship.

Maybe you should go back and look at 2015 again. You certainly are barking up the wrong tree. The team that you say was the best OSU team ever and should have been in over MSU, LOST TO MSU at the end of November and fell from #2 to # 8. Meanwhile Michigan State after beating OSU than beat Penn State and #4 Iowa State to win the Big 10 Championship. So your love affair of a #7 ranked OSU team has you ignore a 3rd ranked team and the Big Ten Conference Champion (who Ohio State lost to)?? There is a whole lot of stupid in that theory. Void of any logic.

 

[cicero grimes]

I love all the drama!

Thanks Warren for being such a hack! You’ve made this a december to remember

Anyone else looking forward to attending a Kevin Warren leadership summit? The comedic value would be off the charts.

Weird shit happens, doesn't change the fact the 2015 OSU team is probably the best OSU team ever.

 

[WhiteBus]

You and just a minority of #7 OSU fans are the only that believe that. They lost to MSU. MSU went on to win the BIG TEN Championship. Stop acting like Trump.
And it wasn't the best OSU team ever, even in the last 15 years.

If they dont make the ccg, they’ll play iowa or Wisconsin instead, which is arguably a better game/opponent than northwestern. They’ll be fine the choice isn’t between the championship game and no game. They’re the ones who argued big ten titles are meaningless in 2016 after all.

Conference championships matter to the players who worked for it, who get rings for it, coaches who get bonuses for it. Answer this question, if you can't play for a conference championship, why be in a conference? Ohio State would make more money and arguably be better off as an independent entity instead of splitting the money it makes with 13 other schools who don't appreciate it.

that’s not what people are arguing though.

The argument is that the big ten needs to put osu in the ccg so they make the playoff so the conference gets a share of the playoff money, which is ironic since OSUsupporters have argued the big then conference championship is unnecessary previously.

The Big Ten doesn't need to put OSU anywhere

 

[fastlax16]

The Big Ten doesn't need to put OSU anywhere

The rules Ohio State agreed to before the season says they are ineligible (or will be after this weekend) for the championship game due to number of games played. so as things stand now osu isn’t going to the Indy unless the big ten changes things retroactively to put them there.

Ok then give us a forfeit vs Illinois since that is the only game we canceled and count it in our W-L. Add that loss and we'd still be in the CCG.
