Gg Michigan. Defensive snooze fest and unfortunately that big TD and us being tackled at the 1 yard line ended up being the difference. My defense played a lot better than I thought it would without Dore since he is what makes this defense run. Division race got a whole lot more interesting....
If Rutgers ties with Michigan, then Rutgers should end up taking the division and Michigan wild card due to conference record.
If Rutgers ties with Ohio State, then Rutgers wins division and Ohio State wild card based on division record.
Here's where it gets interesting. If Rutgers, Ohio state, and Michigan all tie, then I think Michigan might take division and Rutgers wild card. Michigan takes head to head win percentage and Rutgers then takes division record over Ohio State. It's a tricky scenario since it's a 3 team one so I'm not exactly sure. Hopefully I avoid this disastrous situation anyways....
Michigan and Ohio state alone tying results in Michigan winning wild card due to head to head.
Basically....
Rutgers needs either a win, Michigan loss, or Ohio State loss to lock up division. Otherwise wild card.
Michigan needs a win to lock up wild card, and a Rutgers loss, Ohio state win, and Michigan win to potentially take division (again, not sure here).
Ohio state needs a win and a Michigan loss to earn a wild card.
To top this, if Washington wins, the winner of the division will be the 3 seed and wild card 6. So a rubber match would be set between me and either Ohio State or Michigan. The former matchup being a stress-inducing "what just happened" type of game, and the latter being a grind out "first team to 10 wins" game.
From behalf of all Rutgers and Ohio State fans, go LSU this week! And of course, we can just beat Texas A&M to avoid any crazy playoff tiebreaker for us...
Last side note: Auburn is on the verge of the most epic playoff bid I can remember (maybe Syracuse but this is better in my opinion). 1-4 and 3-5 to start and left for dead, but now need to beat Tennessee and need Texas to beat Oklahoma to steal the 6 seed.
Good luck to all this final week. LOTS at stake bid wise and seeding wise!
