Meh. If we win out, we're in. If we lose at any point, we probably don't win the conference and have no chance. So it doesn't really matter.

Not really a concern at this point.
I'd rather The Game not have B1G Championship Game implications. But if Michigan wins next week, it will.
I still think it's possible we could get in even if we lose to Michigan. But that would require us to beat an undefeated Iowa...which we wouldn't even be able to play unless Michigan loses to Penn State.

Huh. OSU can't lose to Iowa and be B1G Champs.

For tOSU to get into the playoffs, with a loss at Michigan, this needs to happen. IMO
1. Michigan @ Penn State: Michigan has to lose otherwise they get the tie breaker. If only Indiana would of had better play calling down the stretch.
2. Michigan State @ Ohio State: Obviously we need to win this game because we would have 2 losses (assuming we lose to Michigan).
3. Notre Dame @ Stanford: We need to pull for the Cardinals because I feel a 1 loss ND trumps a 1 loss Ohio State. ND has a better loss (Clemson) and we would hold a late loss. Committee frowns on that it seems.
So we need to pull for the home teams in each scenario. Now for the Conference Championships.
4. Ohio State vs iowa: Again for obvious reasons.
5. Alabama vs Florida: IMO if Florida wins, that could potentially put 2 SEC teams in with a 1 loss Florida that just beat Alabama and a 2 loss Bama. This could be voided though if Florida should lose to Florida State however.
There are scenarios that involve the Big 12 not getting in but IMO this is the easiest path.
So root for the HOME teams in the first 3 games and the favorites in the last 2.
That would leave:
1. Clemson
2. Alabama
3. Big 12 champ
4. Ohio State
