Default Re: Official Illinois has more wins than Michigan and ND combined thre

If one of two things happens, OSU will go to the nat. championship:

1) WVU loses one of its two remaining games.

2) KU/MU winner loses to OK in the Big 12 Championship.

Figure OSU is #4 in the BCS standings right now with the LSU loss. The loser of the KU-MU game will very very very likely drop behind OSU in the polls pushing them up to #3. Then if WVU or winner of KU-MU loses a game OSU would move up to #2. This would allow the Illini a shot at an at-large bid for the Rose Bowl (assuming we get into the top 14 or top 18 as they have announced - expand the requirements if the major conferences can't provide - I think this is a pseudo "Illini clause".)
