I think we have almost no shot to go back back. Iowa will travel like crazy and OSU will go if they don't win the B1G.

Yes. The committee essentially picks who goes to what bowls. (For them big ones)

Shockingly, the dude is 100% talking out of his ass

With two losses and a game vs OSU Michigan really doesn't have a chance. Good call.

Slow down there people. I have already seen um fans talking about how if they beat O$U they are going to the championship game. I heard from Forde last night that had um won, they would have been a top 5 team, but because of a fluke they aren't, but they are the best 2 loss team in the nation.

That being said. Getting tickets would probably be easier, but how much would the flight cost? Not sure I could afford the $6 or $700 to fly from Miami to LA. Yes, I'm poor.

I'll accept all your apologies now:

ROSE BOWL GAME PRESENTED BY NORTHWESTERN MUTUAL (Pasadena, Calif.)
1. When not hosting a semifinal, the Big Ten Champion will play in the Rose Bowl Game, unless among the top four teams.
2. If the Big Ten Champion qualifies for the playoff, the Rose Bowl Game will choose a replacement Big Ten team.
3. The Rose Bowl Game has sole discretion on a replacement team, and will generally select the highest‐rated available team, but will take
into consideration final College Football Playoff rankings, head‐to‐head competition, division champions and most recent Rose Bowl

The bottom line is the only way MSU will go to Rose is if we are 12-0 and lose the conference title game to Iowa who is 13-0 and Iowa makes the playoffs.

MSU won't get selected in front of an 11-1 OSU team if OSU doesnt make the playoffs and Iowa hasn't been in 25 years to the Rose...they will travel like crazy there.

If we don't make the playoffs I think MSU will end up in the Fiesta or something.

Also, a 10-2 UM team is very attractive if they beat OSU.

Two years it go, it was truly one of those "Life Moments" that Dantonio talks about. As much as I would love to go again, I doubt that I would. I'd try, but it would be difficult. A lot of things aligned right for me to be able to go two years ago.
