The Big 10 removed the 6 game requirement to be eligible for the conference championship game today. I don't think anyone is remotely surprised by the move, but there's one huge ramification that nobody is talking about. Penn State will not be representing the Big Ten East in the conference championship game. This was also decided after they lost to Indiana back in October, what a game that was! They somehow weren't officially eliminated with the 6 game rule in play because they're still likely to finish 3rd in their division. Indiana is currently shut down because of a COVID breakout in their facility, so there was actually an outside shot at Penn State being the best eligible team from the East. That would've been a complete disaster of a game and Penn State fans would have been so annoying online. Imagine if that game happened and they won. I'd have to stay off the internet for months. I'm just happy that we officially don't have to watch Penn State vs. Northwestern next week. Thanks to the Big 10 for doing the right thing and making a 6-0 Ohio State team a lock for the College Football Playoff. Hail to 2-5 State!!
