As we know the committee has all these checks and balances they look at to decide who is in the top four. If Wisconsin wins next week we pretty much know Ohio State gets in because we beat them. But if Penn St wins people are saying they might get in over Ohio State. Here is why the committee won't let that happen. Again it's all about who has more checks according to their criteria.

Better Record: Ohio St

Better strength of schedule: Ohio St

More Wins vs top ranked teams: Ohio St

Head to head: Penn St

Conference Champ: Penn St

Now unless the committee tries to say one of these is weighted more than the others, Ohio State checks more boxes and is in.
