For that to be possible, it means that OSU will have won the B10 title game. The Rose would then have the runner up, but I don't know if that means the loser of the title game, or the next best record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if OSU goes to the championship and we win out and Minnesota loses a couple of games it could be possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we need tOSU to reach the CFP. If we went 10-2 we would achieve the Rose Bowl depending on a few things(we need help). Even going 9-3 would require help to reach Pasadena. Regardless, it is fun talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zlinedavid Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 I looked up the actual language for the selection process: "If the Big Ten Champion is selected to play in a national semifinal, then the Rose Bowl will select a Big Ten replacement team for the 2020 Rose Bowl." That's it. It doesn't specify whether it's the team with the next best record, the loser of the title game, etc. Just that they get (first) pick of the rest of the eligible B10 teams. So, the only way to guarantee a Pasadena trip is to win it all. For that to happen, OSU has to lose out. And the odds of Rutgers beating OSU are only slightly worse than the odds of me shtupping Gisele on the hood of Tom Brady's Ferrari in about an hour and a half from now.

With Texas, Kansas St, and Navy all losing I'm hoping we don't fall out. One of those 3 should fall out before us. I mean KState lost at home to a 4 win West Virginia team.

Leathernecks Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 I'm not too worried about being ranked this week. It will be clear after next week.

Andy06 Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 At the end of the day it probably doesn't matter, but losing by 7 on the road to a consensus top 10 team doesn't warrant a drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of the season is going to be huge for us. If we can win 2 of the last 3 including the bowl game, we'll have a chance of ending the season ranked. We'll also be on most early top 25 lists for next year. That would be huge for offseason recruiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that scenario we end up 10-3 with our lone "bad" loss coming to Michigan St.(who believe it or not still has a chance to make a bowl). I am thinking we could end the year close to being in the Top 15. And absolutely be a cinch to be ranked early next year. And that is absolutely rare.

Questionable maybe, but not an out-and-out bad loss. And it would all depend on who the other top 25 team was. A team from the *cue beams of sunlight and angelic choir* SEC....I'd say you're probably right. Between 15 and 20 anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
