They lost to Minnesota on the road, we killed them. They struggled against Michigan, we killed them. Our Illinois loss is bad, but it was by a last second FG on the road to a bowl eligible team.
If we win, then obviously we're in.
But if we keep it close against the number one team in the country (who blew both us and PSU out), then we should be in! There should be a reward for making your conference championship a game (again, against the number one team in America).
Unfortunately, the CFP seems to have a love affair with Penn State, and they might be ranked higher than us tonight, which means the only way to Pasadena is by beating OSU outright.
Question 1:
Fair, not fair?
Question 2:
Is the Rose Bowl our standard or does it not matter? Playing Auburn in the Citrus is still a great game.
