Nah. As long as Oregon remains a power, USC and Washington are respectable and one original 10 school or the pedsters rises up to join Ohio State in the playoff, the B1G doesn't need tsun to be good. We're looking at three locks plus a chance for a 4th playoff team even if tsun loses every game the rest of the season.
Nah...the COI bought in to their bullshit. Which.......they didn't, really. They probably just had the scales of justice tip into their bank accounts.
I believe the appeals were fan service, and fan service only. They were quietly abandoned right on schedule.
Yeah. I acknowledge my bias. My older sibling was a freshman at OSU in 1953. She taught me to sing We Don’t Give a Damn for the Whole State of Michigan that fall. Saw my first Michigan game in 1954. I survived 1969 and the Cooper years and am still in recovery from the last four years despite the Natty.
And I don't blame them for not caring. They shouldn't care. They got away with murder. They walked into the Big Ten headquarters and stole 3 conference championships. The first two were stolen at nighttime, when no one was watching, and then everyone found out what they were doing, and they walked in on a Tuesday afternoon and stole the third. They waved at the security cameras. They gave the security guards the middle finger and laughed as they all posed for selfies together. Then they put that trophy in the trunk of their car and drove off. The parking attendant even held the parking gate open for them.
