If one or more of Campbell at PSU, Fitzgerald at MSU or Whittingham at UM (or if Wisconsin or USC can ever put together a good run again), The Big 10 will be in contention for 4 or 5 spots in a 16-team field. It has a lot of capable programs and in an 18-team conference where you don't play half the league annually, somebody is bound to benefit from a favorable schedule and get in based on record and conference affiliation alone.
