Head Coach Scott Frost Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 So if we win the West and Michigan wins the East and Michigan's wins end up getting vacated, do we win the B10? 2 Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Just now, Head Coach Scott Frost said: So if we win the West and Michigan wins the East and Michigan's wins end up getting vacated, do we win the B10? I don't know what the conference bylaws are, but in this hypothetical, it would likely be a situation similar to 2012 wherein tOSU won the east but was ineligible to compete in the CCG so Wisconsin took their spot. The CCG's are lucrative so I feel quite confident they'd have one, even if they had to take the #2 team in the east. 1 Quote Link to comment

I was looking up what happened to USC Oklahoma in 2004. USC got their win vacated, but Oklahoma wasn't post facto crowned champion, so I assume now that's how this would work. 1 Quote Link to comment
Red Five Posted October 29, 2023 Author Share Posted October 29, 2023 Vacated wins <> forfeits If Michigan goes 14-1 this year but has to vacate their wins, that just means "officially" they would be 0-1 on the season. Them vacating their wins has no impact on any other teams record. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

If it drags out long enough, Meatchicken could still play in the CCG. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Quote NEBRASKA HUSKERS (5-3, 3-2) Most direct path to the Big Ten title game: Win out; need Minnesota to lose once Nebraska is the hottest team in the Big Ten West. Winners in five of their last six games, the Huskers are rolling under new coach Matt Rhule after an 0-2 start to the season. The Nebraska defense is holding Big Ten opponents (not named Michigan) to 10.8 points per game. Still, the Huskers lead the nation with 24 fumbles (11 lost), a trend that could catch up to them once again down the stretch in November. The last two games of the regular season against Iowa and Wisconsin could very well decide whether Nebraska wins the Big Ten West and returns to Indianapolis for the first time since 2012.

It definitely is nice to be at the end of October and have a competent team (players and staff) in the heat of the west race! 1 Quote Link to comment

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe Wisconsin was third choice after PSU who was also sanctioned Quote Link to comment

Maybe Illinois can get them coming off a bye week. I figure we need to beat Wisconsin and Iowa, in addition to one of MSU/MD. I think Minny has 2 losses ahead of them. Quote Link to comment
MyBloodIsRed16 Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 say we win out and make it to the conference championship game and by some miracle they beat whoever represents the East. Does a 3 loss Nebraska team get into the playoff? 2 Quote Link to comment
twofittyonred Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 If I'm reading it right.... a Minnie lose to Ohio st., Nebraska and Iowa win out until we meet on the 24th and a Nebraska beat down of the turd birds gets us there..?? 1 1 Quote Link to comment
