Barta is in charge so the committee is mismanaged also.Just hope the committee doesn't bail out Ohio St. and a ridiculously mismanaged Big10.

Can't think like that. That embarrassment of a game likely woke this team up. Impossible to say if the season plays out the same.

Indiana will beat Northwestern.If it’s Indy and NW in the CCG and NW lays the lumber to Indy, how can you rationalize OSU in the playoffs?
Yeah, the recruiting benefits alone from being able to say we reached the playoffs would be worth taking the L..
Still can't just say "if only we didn't lose that Louisiana game." The pressure would have really ramped up with each win. Not saying these guys couldn't handle it and do exactly what they did, but sports doesn't work with just a simple result of a game change. It's a little like a butterfly effect type of thing. Just my opinion as I never buy into that in sports unless of course it's the last game of the season and you lose to cost yourself a spot in the playoff a la Iowa when they lost to Michigan State in the Big Ten Championship a few years ago.I have a hard time believing this team would look past anyone, even if they beat Louisiana. You don’t roll out this string of W’s overlooking anyone.
If I'm being honest, an undefeated Cincinnati team might be more deserving than a Big 12 team this year.I hope they don't end up with 2 ACC teams and 2 SEC teams in the playoffs, if ISU or OU win out and have 2 losses.

If Ohio state has a practice game this year, they're in. Bar nunCoach and several players tested positive which cancelled the game.
They are also very likely to cancel next week due to protocols making Ohio State ineligible for the B1G Championship
What will the playoff committee do?
It's all media at this point. Big 10 has the democratic standard, so yeahIf Ohio state has a practice game this year, they're in. Bar nun

There is a very good chance we end up with more wins than Ohio State (and Penn State combined) this year prior to post-season. Another first for the program.I will admit tOSU is a real legit football team. That being said, I have a hard time with having them in the playoffs when they MIGHT have played 7 total games including the Big 10 title game.

How is going 10 -1 and winning your conference championship backdooring into the playoffs?I'm sure I'm being a bad fan here, but I wouldn't want that at all. Backdooring into the playoffs to be massacred by Bama or Clemson doesn't sound fun at all. Give me a NY6 against a team we can compete with. Yes, the CFP would be great for the program, but the game would be bad.
YesI know that Barta isn't allowed to vote for the Hawkeyes for anything -- is he still allowed to vote on/for other B1G teams?
CFP

The comment you responded to said without the LA loss we'd have a real shot at CFP assuming we beat OU in championship game.which team are you talking about here? maybe you meant a potential 9-2 ISU????
They'd take Florida or A&M over the 4th seed. Hell this might let Cincy be the 4th seed. No chance a Big 12 team is getting in unfortunately unless absolute chaos happens in the top 10
