What luck for Penn St that the Buckeyes and Mich look weak thus far. So fortunate.

I would guess not. They will not go undefeated in the BIG this year and any loss to a BIG team will result in being eliminated from playoff contention. Hell many ppl think MSU is already eliminated just for being in the BIG. Not enough quality wins and every loss will be considered poor.

Penn State isn't going to the playoff. They aren't very good.

Delaney and Emmert both know PSU this not a world beater this year. Maybe an argument could be made the B1G fought for bowl eligibility so they would not fail to fill all their bowl slots (again). As for your second question, the decision was most likely made a week or two before the announcement.

Ya dude. It's a huge conspiracy. They lifted the sanctions off the 4th or 5th best team in the conference so they could have a shot at the playoff.

No, for starters negotiations for something like that started long before the season started. The timing of the announcement after the bad week 2 for the B1G looks a little bad but was really just a coincidence.
However, more importantly and much to the disdain of SEC tards everywhere, the B1G was not eliminated from the playoff after week 2. Sure it was fun to rip them after, MSU, OSU and UM all lost high profile OOC games and a some other teams either lost to or barely beat scrubs. However, MSU lost on the road to a top 5 team, if they run the table and finish 12-1, they will be in the discussion for a playoff spot at the very least and would probably be in. Unless Oregon fell to like 7-5 (unlikely) playing that game will help them. Likewise Wisconsin, lost week 1 by 4 away from home to a big bad SEC team. Win out and at 12-1 they too would at the very least be in the discussion, no one will remember or care they they "only" lead some scrub in week 2 by 6 at the half or whatever. Oh and lets not forget Nebraska is still undefeated, so while they were rightly piled on after barely beating McNesse that week 2 disaster for the B1G, un undefeated Nebraska would be in the playoff, no question.
ETA: What it does do is help the B1G fill all it's bowl spots.
