[QUOTE="ChiefIllini, post: 1561915, member: 588522"] As annoying as it might seem from our standpoint, it still makes the most sense for the conference itself. OSU has a better (how much? Beats me, but its greater than 0) chance of making the CFP if they play a conference championship game/the best team in the West. If they make it, the whole conference benefits. Yes, this obviously helps OSU more than us, but its overall a net positive for Illinois. I have zero doubts that if [insert literally any other B1G team] was swapped with the record and team OSU has and was ranked 4th in the CFP ranking, the conference would have done the same thing. OSU does have a choke hold on the conference, but only because the rest of us suck in comparison. [/QUOTE]
