the loser of the Big 10 championship game.

If MSU loses I don't think they'll be eligible. I don't think they'll move up at all this week (no one close to them lost, they won't benefit from the reshuffling of the top 10). At #11 they don't have a lot of spare room. If OSU wins running away, they could easily far fall enough to not be an option at all.

Obviously this discussion is all sort of pointless (especially think I think MSU is going to beat OSU), but I don't think anyone should take it for granted that MSU is in if they lose.
