Big 10 Championship or do we need for them to beat OSU and lose the championship to Wisconsin giving the Big 10 no undefeated or one loss teams to clarify the top four teams?

We just need to win and were in, everything else is irrelevant. Also if OSU beats Michigan neither of them are playing in the big ten championship.

Many already arguing that OSU will get in if the win out. However the committee has stated that a conf champ trumps alot of things. I could see OSU getting left out for a 2 loss BIG 10 champ simply on that a long.
Regardless I fully believe this year will be the year that will cause the committee to rethink moving to 8 teams at some point in the future. Which would be awesome.

Well you can only figure that out by guessing what the rankings will be.
I assume OSU will be 2, Michigan 4 or 5, Wisconsin 6 and penn st 8 this week.
Let's assume Bama, Wisonsin, Penn St, Clemson, Wash and Lou win out
Next Week
OSU will remain 2, Michigan could stay at 4 or 5, Wisconsin stays at 6, penn st could move to 7 or stay at 8.
Last week
Osu beats michigan, Bama beats auburn, we beat sc (hopefully), Lou beats kentucky, Wisconsin beats minnesota, Penn St. beats michigan st, Washington could lose to Wash St. or win
1. Bama
2. OSU
3. Clemson
4. Louisville
5. Wisconsin
6. Penn St.?
7. Washington?
Then the question becomes does 2 loss big 10 champions jump Louisville? What if Louisville were 3rd and Clemson 4th. We'd have to assume after the conf ship Clemson jumps them to 3rd but does the big 10 conf winner leap frog them as well? Or would the committee rather see bama try to beat Lamar Jackson?

I don't believe so. Our guys need to tighten up in some areas, absolutely drill Wake & SC, and win the ACCCG . . . from there I think we're in no matter what anyone else does.
