Not necessarily. If PSU, Wisconsin and the OSU/UM
winner all wind up 6-2 in league play - PSU still
goes. Head to head can't be used (everyone's 1-1 if
it's Michigan and OSU/UW never played), so you then
eliminate the team with the worst overall mark, and
OSU/UM both lost out of conference where PSU and UW
did not. So then you have PSU-UW and the Nits win.

The only way PSU loses this is if they lose, Michigan
wins out and no one else (besides Northwestern)
finishes 6-2. There is no way we can win the bid and
Michigan beat both PSU and NU. Stupid Wolverines.:)

But 6-2 would still be a nice finish - conference
co-title or not. GO CATS!!! BEAT THE BUCKS!!!
