I didn't know this...

Much more is on the line than I thought....

--"Because Penn State beat Ohio State earlier this season, the Nittany Lions would earn the Big Ten's BCS bowl berth with a triumph at Michigan State later Saturday. Were the Buckeyes to win this one and the Nittany Lions to lose to the Spartans, Ohio State would win the league outright.

However, were Michigan to win this and Penn State to lose to Michigan State, the Wolverines would finish in a three-way tie with the Buckeyes and Nittany Lions atop the conference and claim the BCS bowl spot by virtue of having defeated the two other teams."--
