• 0:06
  Speaker 1: five days. If you are planning a next event, make
• 0:08

• 0:14
  Speaker 1: at Greatfulgriddle, Ohage dot com. All right, I had today's
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: show all planned out, I had all the graphics made.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: I'd even posted the graphics on our board to start
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: having a conversation with remembers about it earlier in the day.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: And then the Big Ten announced at four o'clock, Okay,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: we're gonna do a big announcement about exactly what you're
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: doing this morning show. Okay, I'm gonna wait until the
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Big Ten puts out their thing just to make sure
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: I'm right. Good news. Everything's okay, So we're good. We're
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: all set. So here we go. We're gonna run through
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: on today's show the Big Ten tiebreaker scenarios, and the
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Big Ten has a whole list of them on their website.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: There are seven different scenarios on their website. We're not
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: going to go through all of them. We're gonna go
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: through most of the sort of logical, kind of plausible ones,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: and then we'll also, you know, kind of do the
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: fun one where you know that when you're taking picture
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: with kids and you're like, all right, and we're gonna
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: do one fun one at the end. We're gonna do
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: the fun one where all the crazy stuff happens and
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: you get a really wild outcome. So we're gonna go
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: through all that stuff. We did this a couple of
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: weeks ago. Now we've got a lot fewer options. There
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: are only four teams who are still in the race
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: of the Big Ten Championship, and there are only three
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: games that really matter this upcoming weekend. This is just
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: sort of like, let's you know, remember when in school
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: they used to make you show your work. This is
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: sort of a show your work on some of the
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: stuff we're gonna be talking about later in the week.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: In terms of boy, these two teams could actually end
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: up playing again next week. This is the show your work,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: show on how that all goes together. So all right,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: here we go. Scenario one. This is the easy one.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: This is the very straightforward one the two favorites this
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: weekend among the unbeaten teams, Ohio State in Indiana. They
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: both win. Indiana beats Purdue in the old open bucket game.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Ohio State beats Michigan in the game bing bang boom easyps.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Ohio State and Indiana will face off in Indianapolis for
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: the Big Ten Championship. Okay, that's really easy, so that's
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: probably no questions there. Okay, let's move on to scenario two.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: This is where Indiana beats Perdue, but Michigan beats Ohio State,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: and if Michigan beats Ohio State, then all of a sudden,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: the Oregon Washington game starts to matter. So in this scenario,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Indiana wins, Michigan wins, and Oregon beats Washington. So at
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: that point, Indiana's in Ohio State, Michigan, and Oregon all
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: finished tied. First time breaker between those teams is the
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: head to head, but the three teams didn't all play,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: so then it goes to the next high breaker, which
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: is opponent conference winning percentage. Oregon gets the advantage there,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: so that would be Indiana and Oregon in scenario two.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: All right, so far, so good. Well I'm not sure
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Ohio State fans would agree so good on the last one,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: but that's okay. We'll keep moving on scenario three. Indiana
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: beats Perdue, Michigan beats Ohio State, but Washington upsets Oregons.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: In that case, Indiana's in, and then Michigan and Ohio
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: State are tied with one loss each in conference play.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: In that case, Michigan go to Indianapolis because of the
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: head to head with Ohio State, so that would be
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Indiana versus Michigan if Indiana, Michigan, and Washington all win.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: All right, Now to scenario four. This is where things
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: start getting a little wonky because Ohio State and Michigan
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: that's like about a ten point spread Perdue in Indiana.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: The Boiler Makers are about a four touchdown underdog in
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: that one. So probably not, but we'll just sort of
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: dive into this just to sort of cover all of
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: our bases. Purdue beats Indiana, Ohio State beats Michigan, Oregon
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: beats Washington. In that case, Ohio State's in because they're
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: the only undefeated team in conference. And then in that case,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Indiana gets in over Oregon because of a head to
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: head win. The Boiler You gotta remember the Hoosiers went
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: out to Eugene earlier in the year beat the Ducks.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: So in that case, Indiana has the head to head
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: win over Oregon, they would get in and it would
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: be Ohio State Indiana, just like it would if all
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: the normal stuff happened. So you get one shocking upset
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: and it doesn't necessarily matter depending on where it is.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: All right, so now we're gonna do one. This is
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: scenario five, and this is one. This is like the
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: real chaos scenario. This is Purdue beats Indiana in the
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: old Oak and Bucket game, Michigan beats Ohio State in
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: the game, Washington beats Oregon. So you get the three
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: upsets in the three games that matter. So then that
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: means Ohio State, Michigan, and Indiana all finished with one
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: loss in conference play. Oregon would have two. They're out.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: So those three teams did not play head to head,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: but they all played a common opponent. All three of
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: them played Perdue and then so then that's the next tiebreaker,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: your record against the next common opponent. Ohio State one
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: they beat Purdue, Michigan one they beat Purdue. In this scenario,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Indiana loss to Purdue. So that means guess who plays
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: in Indianapolis, Ohio State and Michigan. So yes, you could
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: have Buckeyes and Wolverines two weeks in a row. Last one,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: there's a couple more. We're gonna we'll do this one
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: and call it a day. Scenario six Perdue beats Indiana,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Michigan beats Ohio State, Oregon beats Washington. At that point,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Oregon is ahead everyone else with the best opponent conference
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: winning percentage, so that so Indiana is so they get in.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Then Indiana gets eliminated because of that loss to Purdue
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: that we just talked about in terms of a common
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: conference opponent, that one that we just talked about in
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: the last thing. So then Michigan would get in over
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Ohio State to get into Indianapolis. Then it would be
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: it would be Oregon, and then it would be Michigan.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: So there you go. So there's just six of the scenarios.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: There's a whole website. I'll link the website on the
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Big Ten's website with where all these scenarios actually are
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: and they have all the different stuff typed out. There's
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: a couple other ones that they have on there as well,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: so just kind of an interesting thing to just again,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: like I said, we're going to sort of show our
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: work here when we're having these conversations later you know
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: about later in the week that Ohio State. You know,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: if Ohio State loses, that doesn't mean they're boxed out
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: from India, from Indianapolis, and that those two teams could
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: even potentially play. So just sort of wanted to lay
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: that all out for you if you want to see
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: all of the Big Ten tie breakers. We did the
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: show just a couple of weeks ago titled something like
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: go to Ohio State and Michigan playing the Big Ten
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Championship Game. You'll find that on the Buckeyes Tomorrow Morning
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: podcast to beat as well. Did that with all of
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: the Big Ten by laws, all the by laws you know,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: you'd love to hear me read. That was all on
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: that show. So you want to get the specifics on
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: the Big Ten type breakers, it's all there. You want
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: to get the specifics on how those tie breakers will
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: be applied this weekend, it'll be all on that link
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: to the Big Ten's website that I will have in
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: the link in the listing for today's show. So all right,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: So there's your big ten tie breakers. Here's a look
• 6:31

• 6:32
