   That's a question with a simple answer.  They cheated in the game because they   
   had no sportsmanship right to be in the game, under the findings of the Big   
   Ten Conference.   
      
   > the Rose Bowl, or the CFP championship game, the NCAA is not going to vacate   
   any of those, and and even if there is a provision for the CFP committee to   
   revoke its championship, I don't think it will either. (I don't think the BCS   
   could, either, but    
   there wasn't really such a thing as "the BCS Championship"; the AFCA, which   
   conducts the coaches' poll (and had to name the BCS championship game winner   
   as its national champion), did take back USC's championship.)   
      
   Then there needs to be one.  This is even more fucked than the year they knew   
   that Ohio State basically got ineligible to get to the Sugar Bowl, screwing   
   Michigan State (3-way tie sent Wisconsin to the Rose when Michigan State beat   
   Wisconsin).  And that'   
   s an easy solution:  Wisconsin goes to the Sugar, Michigan State to the Rose,   
   and you help out as much of the travel plans as you can.
