I really do want to see the BIG represented in the National Championship, and The OSU is our best chance.
I hope The OSU and BIG find a way to solve this problem

- Start date
None of them root for us, so I don’t care what happens to them
There is only one solution. Change the rules to adjust to OSU's needs, just like they would for us.
I actually am hoping that the Big 10's screwed up plan backfires on Ohio St. It's the only way they will learn.
Perhaps Barry hasn’t told Kevin what Plan B is yet, hence the silence.
Who cares if they "pay the price"? PSU Football "paid the price" for Sandusky even though they had zero to do with it - why would anyone care one bit if any team besides PSU makes it into the CFP unless they are going to use that playoff money to pay us back for the money in fines they screwed us out of.
As I have stated in other threads on this topic. Clearly documented that o$u cancelled the Illinois game ON THEIR OWN and NOT BECAUSE OF HIGH COVID NUMBERS. Their AD is quoted saying as much.
Therefore, they follow set protocol, they play against Illinois and this is a moot point.
My dad used to say - you make your bed, you lie in it.

Or maybe they have a COVID issue, which is why they cancelled last week's game as well. The same reason lots of other teams, including OSU last week, cancelled games this season. These calls are made by medical staff, not teams avoiding opponents
Alvarez said yesterday he is in favor of changing the rule. They meet tomorrow, so I would suspect they will change the rule or someone else in the Big10 will have a game cancelled so OSU has an opponent this weekend.
Ohio State Cancels Football Game Against Illinois Amid Virus Outbreak (Published 2020)
The university announced the cancellation hours after reporting that the coach of the fourth-ranked Buckeyes, Ryan Day, had tested positive for the coronavirus.
No mention of specific numbers.

All I can say to O$U is tough sh!+. What Penn State endured at the hands of the corrupt B10 and NCAA with regard to Sandusky, a criminal case that had nothing to do with the football team, makes this pale in comparison. The rules were made at the beginning of the season and they should be adhered to and enforced without favoritism.
Screw the buckeyes and the big 10 with them.
Agreed but their playing is a double edge sword. They could easily embarrass the conference like they did in 2016 losing to Clemson 31-0 in the CFP semifinal Fiesta Bowl.
All I know is, Ohio State winning national championships helps our recruiting 🤡 🥴 🙄
Agreed. Didn’t OSU cancel one of its games. Va Tech played a game without 23 players.
Trust me, we’ll hear from them. If they don’t fix this for Ohio State Kevin Warren’s job will be in jeopardy from the Bucknut revolt.
If he makes it right for OSU he’ll coast along and never be held to account for the mess he now has the conference in.
I hope they change the rules and then NW beats them
Sandusky ordeal has absolutely NOTHING to do with OSU playing in the B1G Championship as the ONLY undefeated conference team and the only B1G team ranked in the top 4 in the country.

This really shouldn’t be an issue at all. The B1G can show they have a spine atick to the rules. They.can push OSU to a lower game while rewarding IU for a great season and for playing by the rules and allowing them to go to the Championship game. OSU, should they win their crossover game, will be in the CFP anyway. I don’t understand people thinking OSU can’t go to the CFP without a B1G Championship. Just look to 2016.
And 2017: Alabama didn't play in the SEC Championship game and got into the CFP
I guess you haven’t been paying attention for the past 9 years.
I recall an opening game where IU got to play by a different set of rules than their opponent and was awarded a victory.
Other than that, what is this feel good reward them BS? They got beat by another team who nobody else has beaten.
