I hadn't thought of this idea until now, if we manage to beat Washington, we'll finish with a 11-1 record, but most people are projecting us to play a home playoff game if that happens, and personally that's the situation I hope for, but there's something that could screw those plans, and that is the Ohio State vs. Michigan game, if Ryan Day were to choke against the Wolverines once again combined with an Oregon win, we'll play against Indiana in the Big Ten Championship Game due to various tiebreaker stuff that would end up on our "favor"

Personally I'd prefer for both us and Ohio State to win their last games of the season, so we'll take a rest and either Ohio State or Indiana get exposed in that extra game, but if we make it to Indy, it'll be quite awful if we once again lose to the Hoosiers, albeit I'd imagine it could be something similar to the 2014 team, which lost a home game only to get revenge on the team that beat them during the regular season.

Thoughts

If that happens I’m willing to bet DL will have Oregon far more ready in a rematch with Indy.

I don't want to get in the conference championship game. Right now we only get in if Ohio State loses which would mean a rematch with Indiana which I think would be fine as I think we could cook something up for a rematch.

But I would rather have time for the team to get healthy for a playoff game at Autzen.

How about NO!

Play the 13th game in Autzen on 12/19 or 20 and not vs. Indiana in Indianapolis.

Of course, it could happen, but if WRs Smith and Tate are good to go, Michigan will not defeat Ohio State.

OBD needs the time off to get guys healthy.
