If we win out, that puts Wisconsin at 2 losses and us at 2 losses. The tie breaker DOES NOT go to head to head in division, it goes to better overall record. Our loss to Miami puts us behind the 8-ball on that one.

Are you sure? That would make no sense. If we beat Wisconsin, we are clearly the better team, why would Wisconsin get to go?

IDK, but the guys on 97.1 were doing the research Friday and said that the tiebreaker was overall record. They were thinking the "what-if" scenarios too.

Then again, they are guys from 97.1, so...

Gotta give alot of Credit to MSU for putting up 0 penalty yards and 0 total penalties for the entire game that's huge. But as a spectator this game had pretty much everything, Punt Blocks, Field Goal Blocks, Safety, 2 point conversions, buzzer beater hail marry for a TD. I mean everything... What a complete game and a doozy to watch. :biggrin:

On September 1, 2011, the Big Ten Conference announced the divisional tiebreaker procedures that will be used to determine the representatives in the championship game. Division standings are based on each team's overall conference record. Teams that are ineligible to play in a postseason bowl game will not be allowed to participate in the Big Ten Football Championship Game. In the event that two teams are tied, the head-to-head results between those two teams determines the tiebreaker.

Is there a reason ESPN refused to freeze frame the useful angle overhead? It's clear as day

Straight from the horse's mouth.

The following procedure will determine the representative from each division in the event of a tie:

a. If two teams are tied, the winner of the game between the two tied teams shall be the representative.

b. If three or more teams are tied, steps 1 through 7 will be followed until a determination is made. If only two teams remain tied after any step, the winner of the game between the two tied teams shall be the representative.

1. The records of the three tied teams will be compared against each other​

2. The records of the three tied teams will be compared within their division
​
3. The records of the three teams will be compared against the next highest placed teams in their division in order of finish (4, 5, and 6)

4. The records of the three teams will be compared against all common conference opponents;

5. The highest ranked team in the first Bowl Championship Series Poll following the completion of Big Ten regular season conference play shall be the representative in the Big Ten Championship Game, unless the two highest ranked tied teams are ranked within one spot of each other in the BCS poll. In this case, the head-to-head results of the top two ranked tied teams shall determine the representative in the Big Ten Championship

6. The team with the best overall winning percentage [excluding exempted games] shall be the representative

7. The representative will be chosen by random draw.​
