Seth Walder ESPN Analytics The Big Ten's Playoff hopes took a huge hit yesterday when Ohio State and Penn State lost. The conference now has just a 22% chance to have a team, almost exclusively Wisconsin, finish with a top-4 Strength of Record. Yeah, and OSU had a 77% chance of winning out. Still a ton of games to play. The top 4 today won't be the top 4 in December. UW wins out, they are in (I think/hope).
And PSU definitely should have been in last year over OSU. I've always said that you can't be national champion if you aren't conference champion, and you definitely have to be the winner of your division, especially in a 4 team playoff.
I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.
