No there's not. If osu wins out (hopefully not), the only loss they would have is to a strong IU team. Could that with besting several ranked big Ten teams, they are in for certain. They had a much weaker argument the previous two appearances yet still were selected. The CFP wants matchup that draw crowds and dollars.

I really hope they don't cancel the Washington series. Having big games on the schedule makes it more exciting and boosts up our resume when it comes to the bowl season. Also helps recruiting when we can beat teams from other regions of the country. Just makes football that much better

The 2020 & 2021 schedules are awfully favorable for OSU. One quirk I noticed: OSU is the recipient of a lot of body blow games (game following another marquee matchup), and no opponent has a bye week prior to facing OSU. Many of these are opponents having to face PSU and then OSU in back-to-back weeks.

2020: Indiana (MSU, PSU, @OSU); Maryland (@Michigan, OSU, @PSU); MSU (@Iowa, Michigan, OSU); PSU (@Michigan, BYE, Iowa, OSU); Iowa (MSU, @OSU, @PSU)

2021: Indiana (@PSU, OSU, @MSU); Maryland (PSU, @OSU, Michigan); MSU (@Michigan, PSU, @OSU); PSU (@Maryland, Michigan, @OSU); Nebraska (@MSU, OSU)

No team has a bye prior to OSU in 2020 or 2021. Rutgers has a bye prior to Michigan in 2020, and MSU & Nebraska have byes prior to Michigan in 2021.

Illinois & Maryland are the most frequent opponents in the week prior to facing Michigan. 3 teams in 2020 face Illinois in the week prior to Michigan (Indiana, OSU, and Purdue).

I hope those schedules stick. Loving the non-con. And before you guys shudder in fear just remember that we will have a Senior Peters for 2020 and then a Senior McCaffrey for 2021. And the rest of our team will be in full Harbaugh mode. And that #1 2019 recruiting class will have a full year under its belt. Heck yes we are gonna be awesome.
