re: Ohio State-Illinois is canceled.

Technically it’s not true.. about if either game is cancelled.. the eligibility rule fir big 10 is NO MORE than 2 less games played than the average number of games played by big 10 teams.
They have cancelled a bunch of games..
of the ave is 8 they have to play 6, but if it’s 7 then 5 gets them there. The current average is 4.57 games.. with 3 weeks to go counting today.. 4 teams gave a game cancelled already today and Iowa who has played 6 games is already included in the current avg...

All that being said, tOSU probably needs to play 1 more time to qualify.
