This is my thinking :

Ohio St win = Cuse or maybe BC

Michigan St win = Washington St or maybe a Arizona/Oregon St

[Eastwood Eagle]

If that is true, go Ohio State.

What needs to happen for a Michigan HODBowl appearance?

Most likely, OSU loses and there's enough shake-up that only 1 Big 10 team gets a BCS appearance. That's about it...there are about 5 ways that could happen, but a lot depends on the voters because each human poll is 1/3 of the BCS formula, with the other 1/3 being the computer composite.

Duke beating Florida state could theoretically knock out a second big 10 team so long as MAI beats OSU. Rooting for Duke over the crimiNOLES regardless.

That's the main scenario I was thinking of.

I would prefer Syracuse. Mean Green vs. Orange, Green wins every time, but I want OSU to lose.

What happened to the BC lobbying? I'm thinking the Golden Eagles have a leg up

NIU losing, which opened up an extra at large spot, made getting a B1G team in HOD very unlikely.
