Don’t look now, but because of the Ohio State-Maryland cancelation, Indiana can retain sole possession of first place in the Big Ten East with a win over Michigan State

Step 1) Indiana beats Michigan State

Step 2) Indiana immediately claims possible COVID issues, cancels the Ohio State game out of “safety precautions”

Step 3) Indiana recovers, beats Maryland, Wisconsin and Purdue

Step 4) Undefeated IU plays Northwestern for the Big Ten CCG

Step 5) Big Ten continues with plan for cross division games during CCG week

Step 6) IU and NU play for title, Big Ten pits Ohio State against... Iowa? Sure.

Step 7) An Iowa-Ohio State game happens

Step 8) The CFP must pick between #9Windiana or a 5-1 OSU with a loss to Iowa

Yes, but the ninth win comes when they beat Notre Dame in the Rose Bowl https://twitter.com/yesh222/status/1326617944512663553

(If you think Indiana knocking off potentially #1 Notre Dame in the Rose Bowl is impossible, we dare you to tell that to the year 2020 with a straight face)
