Seriously... the season is nearly over and we need one of the OG schools in this conference on our side. I'd love to see us volunteer to cancel our game with minny and play the buckeyes instead. Show the conference folks that DONU is a team player!! And yes, wouldn't it be funny that we rose up and beat them and ended all of OSU's shot at the NC. Highly unlikely but amusing thought. However, I'd prefer we play minni and let the Big 10 Know it Alls figure how to get out of this quagmire they got into .. on their own They broke the season, they got to fix it. Quote Link to comment

I get it rules for thee but not for me. Why did we come to this conference again? Who is 'looking at changing the rules'? Unless I missed something, there's no indication that the Big Ten is actually considering such a thing. Some schmuck on a sports TV network talking out both sides of his mouth is irrelevant in this discussion - those guys aren't the ones who have any say in this. Quote Link to comment

krc1995 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Meh- don’t care that much until they change the rule that Ohio State can play outside the conference. Which they will have to do to get into the playoff. Correct? 2 Quote Link to comment
HuskerNation1 Posted December 9, 2020 Author Share Posted December 9, 2020 Kevin Warren has been a train wreck this season and should be let go. Changing a rule to favor one team is never a good idea for how to run a conference, even if that team has the best chance to make the CFP. Quote Link to comment

I think OSU can get into the playoff even if they did not play in the BIG CCG, but being the conference champion was going to increase their chances of making the playoff. The only real rule that was in place was established by BIG leadership that a team must have played in 6 games to be considered for the BIG CCG. Today they took away that rule to allow OSU in the game. Had they kept the rule Indiana would be playing in the CCG so Indiana really got screwed. 1 Quote Link to comment

But to play in the playoff you have to play outside the conference, which is not allowed right now with BTN rules. In one way, we all win if OSU can play for a NC but then it’s a kick in the crotch.

Decoy73 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Integrity and the B1G Ten do not belong in the same sentence unless preceded by "lack of". I'd love to see a Northwestern victory just to stick it to the B1G brass and their hypocrisy. Quote Link to comment
quesadilla Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 I think this is 2009, put-the-second-back-on-the-clock for good ol' Mack Brown BS. On some level, I'd be fine with this if Indiana lost to Purdue this weekend, but to declare it before the games are even played is a joke and an absolutely sh!tty way to treat the Indy coaches and players. If there's any cosmic justice in this Plague Year, tOSU will get curb-stomped in the playoffs. Roll Tide, I guess. Quote Link to comment

quesadilla Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 I never cheered for the Longhorns, Big XII or not. I know the ACC pulled some shenanigans too, to benefit Notre Dame and Clemson, so that leaves Bama as the only team in the top 4 that has or will play a full schedule and won all their games. Isn't that the whole point of the season? Quote Link to comment
