What happens if . . .
Northwestern goes undefeated and has a COVID-19 outbreak the week of the championship game.
Would Iowa or Wisconsin replace Northwestern in the championship game, or is Ohio State crowned as champion? [I don't want to hear from Purdue].
What if Iowa (or Wisconsin) replaces Northwestern in the championship game and one of them defeats Ohio State in the championship game? Could Iowa or Wisconsin be Big Ten Champion without winning its own division? What think you?
Other than for championship posterity, it is somewhat not germane because this year The Rose Bowl hosts a semi-final game; the Big Ten Champion is not an automatic qualifier.
That Iowa could beat Ohio State is pretty questionable, but stranger things happen once every 17-years or so.
