Chaos in the B1G East
As long as Iowa keeps doing what they're doing and MSU pulls up the big upset, we'll have:
MSU with one loss in the B1G
OSU with one loss in the B1G
PSU with two losses in the B1G
UM with two losses in the B1G
However...
MSU and OSU still have to play each other
UM still has to play OSU
Bizarre and unlikely scenario, but what happens in the event of a 4-way tie?

We lose all the tiebreakers because both losses are in division and against the teams we would be tied with in a 4 way tie. Can only win the division is msu and psu both get 3 losses.
November 4th, 2017 at 6:45 PM ^
I suppose it would probably be either OSU or MSU, since each have a loss from other division.

MSU and OSU have the advantage there because they have cross-divisonal losses.

we need PSU to lose another game than we can win a 3 way tie with OSU and PSU each would be 1-1 head to head but the other 2 would have 3 losses
November 4th, 2017 at 7:02 PM ^
Looks like you are right. Would still need psu to lose again though since we lose in 4 way tie scenarios.
(b) If three or more teams are tied, steps 1 through 8 will be followed until a determination is made. If only two teams remain tied after any step (or sub-step), the winner of the game between the two tied teams shall be the representative. If three or more teams remain tied after any step, move to next step in tiebreaker with remaining tied teams.

Yeah, it looks like we need Ohio State to beat MSU which will probably happen, and then some sort of crazy voodoo magic like Maryland beating Penn State.
November 4th, 2017 at 7:23 PM ^
we need PSU to lose 1 more and we would have a clear path. It might be a long shot but it's better than no shot
November 4th, 2017 at 7:40 PM ^
NM, ignore me.

This thought kills me. Absolutely kills me. If we beat MSU, we could have replicated Penn St.'s run last year (we get destroyed by PSU, but salvage the rest of the year).
But cart before horse. Let's see if our offense continues growing in the coming weeks.

Sad fact is Michigan resurrected MSU's program by losing this year.

We have two devastating losses. It sucks and can get no better for a couple more weeks.

Root for MSU, and therefore chaos. They lost to Northwestern last week, so they clearly have the capacity to lose to other teams as well.
November 4th, 2017 at 7:07 PM ^
They're not going to lose to Maryland or Rutgers. Come on.
November 4th, 2017 at 7:17 PM ^
Nobody said they would definitively or likely lose to either of those teams. Is it possible? Yes. Michigan State is not a juggernaut this year.

Except when he actually has top talent. Then, he apparently goes 3-9. Does that make sense to anyone?
