Which tie breaker?

It's convoluted but the tiebreaker scenarios were released way before the season started.  We don't win the tiebreaker against PSU, unfortunately. 

 

Here are the rules.  I think the 3rd or 4th scenario is where we don't make the cut.

Even if PSU loses today (looking doubtful) and IU wins (quite likely), the B1G would probably try to find a way to screw IU out of playing in the B1G Championship. Again.

I also wouldn't mind the committee looking and seeing IU's last game being a blow out win instead of the likely loss to Oregon. And having only 1 loss.

Getting to the Championship game would be great and all, but at this time it's more about the CFP than that to me.

Agreed, but PSU 31-7.....so now the only question is, if Oregon routs Penn State, can we jump them? I doubt it!

I think it’s possible depending on where they rank us this coming week and what the matchups would look like.

Let's go USC. Show ND to be the pretenders they are (every year).

Does anybody understand the metrics of Michigan beating osu? Is that better for us or worse?  In reality I think osu losing is worse for us, but what do the numbers say?

I don't know the metrics, but it makes our Michigan win stronger and If Penn States gets routed by Oregon might improve our seeding?

Does anybody think Washington might upset Oregon, it is a pretty intense rivalry?

Here comes Syracuse

Miami was up 21-0. Now a tie game at 21.

Stranger things have happened. I trust Cignetti has the Hoosiers prepared though!

Need to win BIG. Nothing really helping IU today. Granted the SC win over Clemson but need IU to win big.

[Ryno6284]

I want to see pre-Michigan IU tonight!

Fast. Physical. Relentless.

We still have Syracuse and USC, a win by either of them should help IU some!

Syracuse ties it up again

USC ties it again

Crucial stop
