He must be assuming they'll face Alabama in the semis.

Well that would *probably* make the issue moot but two things:
  • My guess is that if tOSU beats NU they'll get the #3 seed and play the Clemson/ND winner, and
  • No loss is completely guaranteed.  

Beyond that though, something else occurred to me.  Would the B1G's 21 day rule even apply in the event that tOSU made the semi's?  I think it would depend on the wording of the rule.  Is it a rule for B1G teams (probably applies) or a rule for B1G games (probably doesn't apply)?

Michigan State/Maryland is gone.

Maryland canceled.

Hopefully some of the teams can come up with a game together.

Iowa has not played Rutgers and Nebraska has not played MSU. Maybe they can switch? Too late?

Why not?  I guess Iowa might be in play for a new year six bowl? But the other three, who cares. If you lose you lose, just treat it like a really high end scrimmage

Hindsight is 20/20 but Everything would have worked out if the Big Ten would have originally done these pairings this week.

7.  MSU-Neb
6.  Rutgers-Iowa
5.  PSU-ILL
4.  MD-Mich
3.  Minny- Wiscy
2.  Indy- Purdue
1.  OSU-NW

Sounds like OSU has covid issues again.  Hoping they can play Saturday. 

Sounds like like at least Olave will be out- and who knows who else in the WR group due to contract tracing. 

Anyone out now is done- would miss playoff if OSU gets there- due to the Big Ten 21 day rule.

Crappy ending. 
Big ten rules can be changed

Makes sense.  Given where they are right now another game would probably be an "everything to lose, nothing to gain" situation.

I have been looking at Texas A & M, and Iowa State as being the next logical teams to move into the CFB Playoffs if Ohio State, or one of the other top 4 do not make it. 
But, maybe Northwestern makes more sense as it is a one-loss team with a quality win over Iowa, but devastating loss to MSU.

This is unfortunate.

Ohio State will reportedly be without multiple players for Big Ten title game due to COVID (msn.com)
Yes.  I believe one of them is there stud receiver Chris Olave.  

Who else I have no idea. Next man up

Mildly annoyed they moved the Rutgers game. Would have been a nice mid afternoon snack.
