Because if Wisconsin wins the game we can claim both a head to head victory and a better record. If Penn State wins we have a better record but they have both a conference championship and they beat us.
Here's the flaw in Penn State fans arguing "we have the head to head over Ohio state" : scUM has the head to head over them! So if we're going to play by their asinine rules, the ranking should go: scUM, PSU, OSU... oh wait, but OSU beat scUM so that's not possible either... hmmm how about we start with overall W-L and go from there!
That is what it is going to come down to. If Wisconsin wins we are in, if State Penn wins they are in and we need Washington to lose. Unless they want better ratings, then OSU is in along with State Penn.
OSU is in, mark it.
Final Top 6 (baring no upsets this weekend & a PSU win):
1. Bama
2. Washington (Colorado is a really good win & they are conference champs)
3. OSU (11-1, 4-1 vs Top 25/ 3-1 vs Top 10)
4. Clemson (beating Ava Tech won't move them up at all but their record & being a conference champ keeps them in)
5. PSU (conference champs but you should have beaten Pitt)
6. OU (nice try on playing extra game, but it still isn't a conference championship game)
