Hoosierfan1901 Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 So if IU is 7-1 and let’s say UM backs out from OSU and OSU is 5-0. Who is the declared the East champion then? Will it be IU since they get sent to the championship or will it be OSU who gets the divisional title, but can’t go since they will be Ineligible?

Under the current rules announced at the beginning of the season IU goes to the championship. However, there is a clause written in invisible ink that says: "No matter what happens OSU plays in the championship game." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steubenhoosier Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 There is no way that IU should advance to the championship game over OSU. Head to head has to matter. Not OSU's fault that the conference screwed things up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoyeCowbell Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 Will the Big Ten find a replacement team for OSU or simply change the rules so they play in the Championship game? If they find a replacement, who will it be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kodos Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 This is like when there is a close call at the end of a game against one of the historical powers of the East. You know that the ruling will go against IU. Honestly, I don't want to go on a technicality. They beat us, they should represent the East in the Big Ten Championship game. Much as I hate to say it.

FritzIam4IU Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 I think O$U should probably go since they beat IU head to head....BUT the Big Ten put themselves in this situation by scheduling the way they did and not leaving an open date at the end to make up a game if need be. They also made the rules about playing 6 games...so either way they decide to go, they are going to look foolish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btownqb Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 Honestly... they want to change the rules this late in the game, that's fine... but it should be Indiana playing Ohio State then. If we are going to change the rules, then lets get it "right". That would be what's right. We beat MSU black and blue and didn't even play well. NW was beaten by them. We go... Northwestern can play Minny (they didn't get a chance to). UW vs. Maryland (assuming UW wins this weekend) Iowa vs. Michigan (assuming Iowa loses this weekend) Purdue vs. MSU Neb vs. Rutgers ILL vs. Penn St yayyyyy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 Is the 'rule' that OSU must just play 6 games, or is it specifically 6 conference games? In other words, could OSU pick up an opponent in a situation similar to what BYU and Coastal Carolina did last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
