[JM4CY]

Looks like OSU is having player covid issues:

And is looks like the Big 10 will please them again by changing more of their rules to make it possible for those players to play in the playoffs:

8 man football for the championship

The Big Ten continuing to show what the "1" in B1G stands for...

Slide those goal posts, B1G!

They will now be using the end zone pylons as goal posts.

That last bit on waving the 21 days, does anyone have a count on the number of changes the league and made or manuvers the b10 has made to position osu for the CFP.

 

[MeanDean]

They should just change the conference name to the "B1OSU"

This just in from the Big 10 Offices.

"Due to the Covid-19 outbreak at Ohio State University the Big 10 is concerned that Northwestern University will have its team at full strength while Ohio State will be missing key players due to this unfortunate development.

To even the playing field, depending on how many OSU starters are affected, the Big 10 has modified how points will be scored in the CCG. OSU touchdowns will now be scored as 12 points. Field goals will count for 6 points. PATs are now designated as 3PATs and will count for 3 points. Upward adjustments may be made if even more OSU starters are out.

Northwestern points scored (if any) will be tallied in the standard 6, 3, and one values."

You sound like a possible candidate to replace the current B1G commissioner.

"False positives" coming in 3...2...1...

Listen, I think changing the rule was wrong, however, Indiana got to play them. Had they not played them, then I think they'd have a better case but Indiana didn't do all the things they needed.

OSU is also not going to be forthcoming about this stuff. No way.

Yeah, that's fair. They did lose the head to head battle.

This is all setting up for having multiple starters out, losing to Northwestern, but still getting in the playoff because it's unfair to judge them in a game where they have multiple starters out.

B1G is basically "Whose Line Is It Anyway?"

 

[CycloneErik]

The first pronouncement regarding the season was fine. They had reasons for that which weren't "****, Ohio State won't advance."

All of it since then, well, that's a lot of BS piling up.

I don’t think that happens.

 

[Cyforce]

Ohio State will still be ranked 4th because of the eye test when they have all of their players

I guarantee Ohio St doesn't get in without a conference championship. The rest of college football is fed up with how the BiG has bent over to get the Buckeyes into the CFP.

Agree - I think they have a better chance of staying in with no game at all opposed to losing it. That said, I think they'd be out with both scenarios (fingers crossed).

 

[Cyclones_R_GR8]

They'll just say it isn't right to punish them for Covid and put them in anyway.

 

[Clonefan32]

EyE TeSt!

Slide those goal posts, B1G!

 

[CloneGuy8]

This is just a reminder this can sneak up on any team at any time. Hopefully our guys can stay covid-free through the end of the year (and beyond, obviously)

 

[CapnCy]

I keep reminding myself "let's get to Saturday" and win that game...and I have confidence.

But then stuff like this starts showing if we do win.....we might get that shot to "bring on 'Bama" yet...also, if that's the case, i want Tony Yelk there in an honorary fashion, lol.
