PSU and OSU both have 1 loss and OSU lost to PSU head to head.

Head to head is only used to determine the Rose Bowl invitee. The B10 recognizes teams as co-champs if they have identical records, regardless of head to head.

that is a bit bogus though. One has proven superiority over the other. Oh well.

If Penn State wants it outright they should have beaten Iowa.

Same discussion happened in 2005.

A co-championship is a co-championship, no matter how you slice it. Penn State gets the Rose Bowl bid and rightly so because of head-to-head, but bottom line is the Nitts are not the outright champions. They both had the same conference record & thus both should be rewarded with a championship trophy.

That is apparently the rule, but I disagree that it should be. If we were arguing who had the hardest schedule to define who the champ should be fine, I'm all for co-champs. But there was head to head play. It's not a stretch to think that Penn should have the crown.
