The problem will be if games get cancelled late in the season. Then there won't be any time to make them up.
Reschedule Nebraska?

Yea, there's gunna be teams with different records, some drastic. I think they expect that.
What is going to be weird is how a long tournament is going to adjust to a possible games being cancelled or a team dropping out because of COVID. What will they do? Will they play the depth, whoever tests negative the morning of the game?
If a team drops out, does the opposing team automatically get a forfeit win and move on.
How does it all work?

Why play them at all
Why take a risk on Covid
Something is seriously wrong with the team concerning the virus
They always play very well against us
And beat us when there is no logical reason to do so
Would the risk of losing to a team that has Not won a BT game
Be really worth it

Nebraska is probably the safest team to play in the entire country right now regarding COVID.

I agree. But we’re not in that situation yet. And at that point the impacted team will be at risk of no postseason.

Huskers just beat somebody yesterday [Penn St. or perhaps Maryland?]

PSU doesn’t worry me. And I think we’re better than Wisconsin and it’s a favorable matchup.
No it wouldn't, but we are still 0-0 this week so in the words of the Wolf "let's not start sucking each other's Ds just yet".

Nebraska...

2/16
2/17
Every other day then back to back against Maryland...7 games in 11 days. I can’t wait to see Michigan’s freshman center take on that schedule.
I know some don’t think all of the games are going to be played. Nebraska’s schedule would suggest otherwise. This type of situation is one of the reasons no one has to waste eligibility this year...I would think.
Edit - It’s worth noting that 4 of Michigan’s starters average 30+ or minutes a game.

Regardless of the wear and tear on the athletes, I don't see Michigan getting let off the hook. No way in hell does the conference give MSU and Nebby the gauntlet and then give Michigan a pat on the back and say "we understand what you went through so were going to let you off the hook and give you the conference title because we feel your deserving".
I mentioned in another thread that the big 10 bracket generator put us at the 1 seed when we had 5 losses and Michigan had 4 losses. I assume they will use a win percentage thing, which is really stupid because Michigan pretty much said we are gunna take a pass on getting handed a loss from Illinois a few days ago.

And it’s different than OSU football. They had secured their spot in the conference championship game. Michigan can’t secure their BTT seed without playing out the schedule.
