I know there is a long way to go and a lot can happen before the end of the regular season, but there has been a lot of speculation (for fun) topics lately, so I'm throwing my hat in the ring. As of now I have OSU, PSU and UM in a fish bowl and it appears they are good enough to win every game going forward aside from playing each other. Losing to UM (like all of you) will leave a bitter taste, but as of right now the big 3 are likely to win their games at home. That would leave a three way tie, and after looking up the 8 step tie breaker rules (which I'm still not sure about so some insight is very welcome) it appears that Minnesota, Purdue and especially Wisconsin hold the keys to us being the east champ. PSU has Iowa, Illinois and NW (not good) while UM has Minnesota, Purdue and Nebraska. Now that Iowa has lost their QB and Illinois is fading fast, PSU looks to be out of it while UM seems that way as well comparing Nebraska to Wisconsin. If the BIG would be considered for two teams for the playoff, it would also appear UM is doubly screwed in that scenario because  (unlikely with so many good teams out there) of their cheezy scheduling. PSU has W. Virginia where UM has no answer, and PSU would have the head to head. Like I said this is way too early, and Franklin usually finds a way to screw things up, but for now GO WISCONSIN. I'm leaving this link for the tie breaker so point out what I got wrong.
