That tiebreaker crap only comes into play when were talking about bowls - like who goes to the Rose bowl, since the big 10 sends its champ.

Both teams have a conference record of 8-0 - so theyre co-champs
It does matter for the bowl games which is why Ohio St is bypassing the big ten games to play in the main bowl game. They are the big ten champs based on tiebreaker, therefore they go to the best bowl game. There is a reason why Iowa is stuck in the rose bowl game. Trust me, I have seen Michigan, Wisconsin, heck almost every team tied with one another but whoever wins the tiebreaker wins the big ten outright. Its a crappy system but thats what they have for now. I wish they would let ND in or some school like that in to force a title game every year.
