And Ohio State beats Michigan, we go to the Rose Bowl, correct? If we play a 12-0 Ohio State in the Big 10 championship and win, we almost certainly will not make the playoffs with 2 losses. If we play a 12-0 Ohio State team and lose, they will almost certainly make the playoffs, and we'd go to the Rose Bowl over a 2 loss Minnesota team and a 3 loss Michigan team. It would be between us and a 2 loss Penn State team. Common opponents that would factor include Ohio State, to whom both teams lost and Minnesota. Penn State lost to them, and in this scenario, we beat Minnesota. Because Penn State did not play Illinois. I believe we'd be chosen to play in the Rose Bowl, correct?
Of course, we still need to beat Minnesota.
