I'll play left tackle.  I'm short, but have good technique.

Not sure how your bedroom prowess will help you play left tackle, but okay

It has been changed. Also, I don't realize Indiana paused their activities. Had they been unable to play championship weekend, it would have been Northwestern-Michigan State for the B1G championship.

Wouldn't be the first time a team got a chance at a Big Ten title with a third place divisional finish.

Report: Big Ten amends rule, plans for Ohio State-Northwestern conference championship game (msn.com)

If:
Clemson > Notre Dame
Florida > Alabama
Illinois > Northwestern,

it could really put Ohio State in jeopardy if this new rule is actually enforced, provided Iowa goes 6-2.

With Indiana pausing activities for COVID, the 2nd place cross-over game could be Iowa v. Maryland.

Where are these cross-over games other than the Big Ten CG being played? Anyone heard yet? There was discussion about playing all of them in domes. There is a dome 70-miles north of Iowa City. What is the closest dome to College Park?

I don't understand what Iowa going 6-2 has to do with tOSU's CFP chances.  On the rest, my thoughts:
  • Clemson>Notre Dame:  IMHO, this solidifies Clemson's spot and effectively eliminates the Irish because they'd be a 1-loss non-champion.  They might not be eliminated but they would be well behind an undefeated B1G Champion Ohio State, IMO.  
  • Florida>Bama:  First, I put the likelihood of this somewhere around 5-10% so I'm not overly worried.  Second, even assuming it happens AND that causes UF to jump tOSU AND tOSU doesn't jump Bama, I still think the Buckeyes are in if they win out and out if not.  
  • IL>NU:  At first I didn't understand what you were getting at here.  Now I get it.  That would drop NU's ranking which would deprive tOSU of a quality win.  Eh, not sure it matters.

It is REALLY hard to predict the crossovers for three reasons:
  • The bottom four in each division is effectively a 4-way tie for 4th/5th/6th/7th so basically anything can happen.  
  • There is a rumor that UW and MN are trying to get exempted so that they can play their rivalry game for the Axe instead.  If that happens it excludes them plus two teams in the East would also have to play each other to balance it back out.  
  • I thought I heard somewhere that they wanted to avoid rematches so even after the final standings are determined we'll still have to make adjustments for that.  

I have no idea where the "Champions Week" games are going to be played.  It is a good question and I would like to know but frankly, that stopped being a concern to me once they changed the rule such that tOSU will be in the CG.  I know where that one is going to be played.

Ohio State would have an arguably more worthy opponent if it played Iowa should Northwestern lose, and improved SOS.

I get that but they already changed the six game minimum rule.  Ohio State will play Northwestern in the B1GCG on December 19.  Previously I was thinking, as you laid it out, that if tOSU got excluded from the CG the silver lining would be that Iowa might well be a better opponent.

I think winning the conference is a bigger boon then playing a perceived slightly better opponent.
