OSU v UM Axed

I guess it all comes down to whether Ohio State is comfortable being in the CFB Playoff without playing another game. Personally, I have no doubt they'd find a way to put them in. They don't need the Big 10 Championship game.
This is how it is going to work out. NW and Indiana play in the championship game. Winner gets a NY6 game, as per the rules. tOSU gets to go to the national championship series, because there are no actual rules about number of games played there. Big 10 gets 2 teams into the NY6.
Nebraska would only have grounds to be ****** if they let Ohio State go find a non-con game.
Well they said the rules are the rules so.... either they can change the rule for the non con game or not, or they can change the rule for the number of games to qualify for the championship or not. You either can change the rules or you cant.
That is my point.
The Big 10 announced long ago when they announced they would play the season after all that they were going to have +1 games for each team. W1 v. E1(= big 10 championship game), W2 v. E2, W3 v. E3, etc.
I think NW cancels their game vs Illinois this weekend, allowing the Illini to travel to Columbus. NW ensures OSU as their opponent in the Big 10 Championship and essentially locks up a Rose Bowl trip - if they beat OSU they won’t make the playoff but will be the Big 10 representative for the Rose Bowl. Lose to OSU and they will be the first Big 10 team selected to the Rose Bowl.
I just love the brazenness of telling all the other Big 10 schools they don't matter and their only purpose is to prop up Ohio State.
Like I said, they said the rules cant be changed. So for Nebby they couldnt change the rules to allow them to play a non con.
So now they cant all the sudden say well we can change the rules for how many games need to be played or how the selection is done.
My point was you either cant change the rules or you cant. You cant tell one University the rules are set in stone and cant be changed once they are set. Then tell another they can change the rules to suit them.
Y'all remember this scene outside the B1G offices? No one was even inside at the time. I agree, "Let Iowa and OSU play!"
So Nebraska should have asked the B10 to force other B10 teams to rearrange their schedule to accommodate them instead. Nebraska just didn't ask the right question because I'm sure the B10 would have obliged if they just worded it differently.
Right, as much as we all hate Nebraska, and love that they are getting screwed in the B1G. It really shows how that conference works.
And I remember how they and others said the Big 12 was bad for Texas being in control. You know to me that B1G is so much more of a mess than the Big 12 ever was. The only thing they have going for them is the big TV money, but the more bone headed decisions they keep making they could fast track themselves to be on par with the PAC 12.
Indiana is currently slated to go to the CCG for the opportunity to be Big Ten champ for the first time in 52 years. And their conference is working to deny them the opportunity at the behest of OSU.
I'd be pissed if I was them, but I'd also be preparing my butts.

Big 10 spin machine in full gear at this point in time. Going to sell it as thinking of the best for the conference financially. OSU in CFP is big money for the conference shared with all programs. Money is critical during financial crisis brought on by COVID. Other schools will be strong armed into buying in and allowing OSU to do as they please.
At this point the dream scenario would be to watch the Big 10 suffer the optics **** show of forcing OSU in the CCG followed by OSU losing to NW
