I like it.

One small quibble: you have Wisconsin at 7-2. As of today, Wisconsin has 2 losses in the B1G; they already lost to USC and to Penn State. So, if Minnesota wins out we would be handing the Badgers their third loss. They'd end up 6-3 at best.

You're right, had it wrong
The tiebreaker scenario should be the same

Idk what you watched on Saturday that makes you think Michigan State is going to win that game. Even with the backup qb Indiana is still vastly less one dimensional than Michigan. Unless they turn it over multiple times, just have a hard time seeing it

The fact I think they’re going to win the game

This is an important weekend for the 'middle-tier' B1G teams — Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, Michigan are all 3-2, and they have some key matchups, including two head-to-head.

Wisconsin @ Iowa
Minnesota @ Illinois
Oregon @ Michigan

So this 'middle tier' should begin to sort itself out this weekend. Exciting stuff if you're a fan of the B1G and especially so if you follow one of these teams.

Here's the scenario:

Oregon beats Michigan
Wisconsin beats Iowa
Ohio State beats Penn State
Michigan and Michigan State beat Indiana
Indiana beats Ohio State
Minnesoata wins out

1. Oregon 9-0
2. Minnesota 7-2 (1-0)
3. Indiana 7-2 (1-0)
4. Ohio State 7-2 (1-1)
5. Penn State 7-2 (0-2)

Leaves Indiana and Minnesota for #2. Both 2-1 in common games. Go to next tiebreaker...

"The records of the two tied teams will be compared based on record against common opponents with the best conference record and proceeding through the common conference opponents based on their order of finish within the conference standings."

And then...

"The records of the two tied teams will be compared based on the best cumulative conference winning percentage of all conference opponents"

Minnesota win.
OSU beat PSU
MSU leading IU 10-0

I'm starting to believe!
