Who goes to Indy if there’s a 3-way tie at 8-1 with OSU, Michigan and PSU, with PSU beating the Buckeyes and the Buckeyes beating Michigan? Are there factors that still need to play out to determine that?

I agree. We do not need a 5 star QB for this offense to go. We need a guy who plays within himself and makes the right read and throw.
This will never get old. EVER.
Except the final score
Good point.Except the final score
I feel as if this years version of Illini football is like the MMA fighter who's specialty is choking out and submitting people. No huge hits or flashy kicks just down and dirty until the second round and then we slip in behind and they tap out.
Here are the tiebreakers:
-Winning % in games between the three teams
-Record in division games
-Winning % against next highest place team in their division in order of finish
-Winning % against common conference opponents
-Winning % against non-divisional opponents
-Winning % against next highest place non-divisional team in order of finish
-Best overall winning percentage, excluding exempted games, regardless of number of games played
-Random draw
And on the topic of tiebreakers...
So they showed this graphic on College Gameday, which they got from the Sickos Committee Twitter feed, about a scenario where Northwestern wins the B1G West:
Green means a win and red means a loss on the graphic.

So if I read this correctly, under my scenario where PSU, OSU and Michigan all finish 8-1, with PSU beating OSU, Mich beating PSU and OSU beating Mich, the first five criteria on the above list wouldn’t come into play, and the East representative in Indy would come down to whether Illinois, Purdue or Nebraska wins the West.
If Illinois or Nebraska wins it outright Michigan goes. If Purdue wins it outright, Penn State goes. OSU has zero options if those three are on top in the West. The final order of the West standings can alter the outcome if Purdue and Illinois tie with Michigan hoping Iowa and/or Nebraska fares better than Minnesota and PSU hoping for the opposite.
Have I read this correctly?
Sounds good to me lol.
So with todays results teams are starting to be eliminated
