On to Indianapolis?

The only way the Wolverines can earn the trip to Indianapolis is if they defeat the Buckeyes and Penn State defeats the Spartans.

Michigan would win the East Division based on its “conference record” of 7-1. OSU and MSU would tie for second.

If Michigan State defeats Penn State, the Spartans win the tiebreaker against the Buckeyes or the Wolverines based

on the head to head matchups.
