Chances of winning

[phillybillyreprise]

Since OSU has been anointed as the best team in the B1G10 and its best chance of being one of the four teams in the championship, PSU is going to have to win big. In boxing the saying is you have to beat the champ. That is a knockout or an extreme beating. The same will apply Saturday night.

There is a thing called “a hometown decision”. But I don't think that will happen.

When we win, by 30, or 3 or 1 OSU will always be chasing us! Remember if you are tied in conference, head to head determines the winner, so we would have to lose twice, assuming OSU doesnt lose again, for them to pass us in conference. We win the conference and the championship, we will be in the playoff, mark it down.

Exactly. A 1 point win is all we need. Don’t need to worry about “style points” this weekend.

I said the same thing in 2016. Turns out I didn't know shit.

A 1 point win would suffice.

No 3 way ties in my book The others will all loose 2

if a three way tie both Mich and Mich state have 2 losses. it would still be between OSU and PSU

Chances of winning are far better than "Storming Moron"s chances of being elected for the Board of Trustees.

Didn't quite work out that way in 2016. Ohio State proved you don't even have to win your conference to get in. At least not when you have the commissioner and ESPN pimping for you.

We had 2 loses in 16

I know, but we did win the conference and beat them head to head. Heck, they didn't even win the division and still got in.
