Needs help:
Penn State (6-1) needs a Michigan loss.  They have a tiebreaker over Ohio State.
Ohio State (6-1) needs a Penn State loss.

Prior to last week, Ohio State had control of their destiny due to having the overall record tiebreaker over Penn State.  However, that only would work in the case of a three way tie.  With the three teams currently tied, and two of them playing each other in two weeks, the tie cannot hold unless certain things happen next week.  Regardless, based on current standings, if Ohio State were to win out, they still need Penn State to lose to clinch the division, and thus, do not control their own destiny.

Indiana (3-4), Maryland (2-5), Michigan State (1-6), Rutgers (0-7)
