Well, teejers1, the Pac-12 isn't changing its rules to benefit Colorado, although it's not quite an apples-to-apples comparison. But I disagree with your statement that this season is without rules. Maybe tOSU will try to find another opponent for Saturday? Or maybe you are right and the B1G will actually apply common sense and revisit their rules.

Conspiracy theories anyone? Michigan doesn't get beat and makes tOSU ineligible for the championship. Definition of a win-win.

The B1G will amend their rules or find tOSU an opponent, even if it means stealing one from another BigTen program. Take that to the bank.
The only B1G team with a chance at the CFP is tOSU. If tOSU is not in the BigTen CG, then the CFP will likely find its way to giving two invites to the ACC (Clemson/ND) and two invites to the SEC (Alabama/TBD).
Every conference is doing this COVID19 stuff for money, so to take actions that forces tOSU out of the CFP is not an option. To move away and then let a rival conference take tOSU's slot would be unthinkable.
Of course, tOSU needs to actually win 1 or 2 more games, so it is possible tOSU will get eliminated on the field.

That would be the ultimate irony, if the extra game to qualify them actually disqualifies them from the CFP.

What I'd like to see is this: ND beats Clemson in ACC Championship game.
It wouldn't even shock me if the Committee STILL let Clemson in - it would be a complete disgrace, but I put nothing past anyone in this season of no rules.
