If for some how and reason we make it the Big Ten Championship game and lose to Ohio State. Do they leaves it out of the Rose Bowl. OSU would make the CFP.
Not if they win tomorrow. But I think that is a pretty safe betMichigan is a lock for the Rose Bowl already.
Our only chance at a New Years six is to be the big ten auto bid. They aren’t picking a 5 loss teamI think Michigan gets the rose bowl if we went and lost to OSU...only way I could see it swing our way is if we played OSU quite a bit closer than Michigan.
I believe that any P5 conference champion is obligated to a NY6 bowl at minimum. So if Minnesota wins, probably Rose.
Not really. One thing people forget is that TV has some influence on opponents. Who will play Notre Dame? If Michigan loses to OSU, TV will want Michigan-ND? Huge viewership for that game. Michigan wins in a tight one, does OSU fall out? Cincinnati holds a spot? More to these selections than people know like the behind the scenes politics and lobbying.Michigan is a lock for the Rose Bowl already.
The winner of the B1G Championship game automatically gets the Rose Bowl berth, unless that winner is invited to the playoffs. So, yes, if Minnesota beats Ohio State or Michigan next week in Indianapolis, the Gophers are going to Pasadena.
exactly this. there is less than zero chance of 5 loss Minnesota going to the Rose Bowl. We should at that point hope for Vegas over Music City, because Nashville is like Vegas if it were colder and you can't gamble or shoot uzis in the desert.Our only chance at a New Years six is to be the big ten auto bid.

Truth.
But, get ready for some responses that go something like: "Minnesota, winning in Indy?!?! LOL!!!!!!"

That's not what the OP asked.So, yes, if Minnesota beats
A good 20% of the posters on this board would be horribly disappointed if the Gophers won the West. It doesn’t fit their paradigm or narrative.Truth.

I hope they win the West and can only hope they play like their 1st game against OSU in the cha.pionship game.A good 20% of the posters on this board would be horribly disappointed if the Gophers won the West. It doesn’t fit their paradigm or narrative.

Indeed, I should've responded to fml and you for your tangent.I wasn't responding to the OP.

Will fix that now.
You have three options:You are worried about other posters going on a tangent?
You have three options:
1) be an adult and simply skip over my posts, ie use your mouse wheel
2) be a child and put me on ignore
3) be a coward and put me on ignore and then cry like a little bitch about how others still engage with someone you have on ignore.
I'll leave you to it.
But why would I do that? I read all posts and respond to whatever tickles my fancy. As is correct usage of the board.and skipped over my post
