Analyzing the Big10 Championship

[Hawkfromnorwalk]

That wouldn't really come down to BCS standings. Anyone in the top 14 is eligible for an at large, which we would be if we win out. Since in that scenario we would be Big 10 co-champions with Wisconsin, that would be a feather in our cap that tOSU and MSU would not have. That, plus our traveling reputation, plus our head-to-head advantage over both teams, likely makes us the pick.

For the most part you're correct but unfortunately the BCS bowls who have an at large pick aren't held to any type of guidelines or restrictions except picking someone in the top 14 when picking a team. I hate to say it but BCS bowls drool over having OSU, even more than they would drool over us.
