the best part of this is the B1G commissioner was the main person touting that conference champs only should be in the playoff... Im sure that he has probably changed his tune considering the landscape as of this second


He wasn't the only one touting the conference champ thing. If I'm Delaney, I'm happy regardless of the outcome. Penn State and Wisconsin are both huge football schools. Same with Michigan. Actually Michigan controls its own destiny. They beat the Buckeyes and Wisky/Nebraska and the Wolverines are in the CFP. And if they lose it will only be the Big Ten winner getting in. The way it should be.

Possible (tho unlikely) doomsday scenario for B1G:

Wisc loses to Minn
Nebr loses to Iowa
PSU loses to MSU
OSU loses to Mich

Wisc beats Mich in CG

The point, though, is that Delaney was certainly on the conference champ only train, and there is a scenario where he could get two schools into the playoff this year, which Im sure he and the conference would want. If Michigan wins out, Washington loses, I would argue that Penn St should be in the playoff and would have no issue with them being in there.
You also have a shot to get Ohio St in with Wisconsin or Penn St... either way, Im sure he probably feels differently about the situation today than he used to.
