This is not a shock to most, but ESPN is now reporting that the BigTen has decided tOSU can participate in the BigTen CG.

$$$$$ - All about the Benjamins Baby!

Now, the real conspiracy theories will kick in if the officials during the game start throwing a few questionable flags that ultimately swing the game for tOSU.

A few flags for the benefit of wrong team could ruin everything dozens of BigTen administrators have been trying to accomplish for months.

Yes, allowing tOSU into the CCG was pretty much a no-brainer.  The Buckeyes still have to win that game, however, to qualify for CFP.  And you're right, if the linen starts flying to aid tOSU to victory, then the fix-is-in-theorists will have a field day (and justifiably so).

We'll see . . . 

I'd look at the refs for the ACC Championship game equally suspiciously.  If ND wins that one, too, then Clemson has to be out.  But if Clemson wins, then both likely "in," barring a Clemson destruction of ND (which I consider unlikely).  Let's see if the refs favor Clemson there.
