I saw on a graphic on BTN today that Indiana will play the 2nd place team from the West.  If that is true,  does that mean Indiana will be playing Iowa? 

Even if Wisconsin beats Iowa,  Indiana probably would not play Wisconsin.  Indy and Wiscy just played each other, and Wiscy is pushing hard hard to play Minny instead.  So that kind of leaves Iowa to play Indy.  Unless Indy pushes hard to play Purdue instead.

Yeah, OSU is the star of the Big Ten solar system.

The rest are dwarf planets and gas giants.

I am wondering how many of these teams would take a pass if they could.

Trask deserves the Heisman.  He would get my vote, followed very closely by Smith from Bama.

Yes- If it really is the best player he should win it.

As for the Heisman, I would wait to vote after the regular season ends. And if I were the Heisman club I'd wait to award it after the bowl games are played.

Ehhh, you'd have so many that just go to the stud on the national championship team. 

I feel like you could concoct something different. I know Bill Simmons made something up for the NBA where you had an award for the defining player of each year, regular season and playoffs. Ideal for a year when James commanded the playoffs but cruised in the regular season. 

That feels most right to me. Like, I still think Reggie Bush deserved the Heisman that year. Vince just deserved something else.

Indiana releases statement on Ohio State going to B1G Championship (usatoday.com)

Classy response.  And it really does make sense.  If Indiana and OSU hadn't played head to head....I would find this to be a joke.  But OSU won the head to head.  They should play in the championship.
