What’s the criteria for Rose, if B1G Champ to CFP?

There's no contractually firm criteria like there is for the other bowls. B1G can pick whomever they want really. So far, the haven't had any difficult choices to make. If Minnesota is in the B1G champ game then surely they'd go. If another team from the West is in it, then it could get interesting.
 
And if they get blown out in the B1G game by 40 points?
THIS!
Let’s say we finish at 10-2

Poser-sota finishes at 10-2, and doesn’t go to CCG, I say we go over them.
Poser-Sota finishes at 11-1, then gets DESTROYED by tOSU in the CCG, and finishes at 11-2.
It’s close as to who goes, but I think we go, because we’d be ranked higher in CFP rankings.
Poser-sota is 12-0, and loses CCG, they’re in Rose.

JMO, but(assuming we go 10-2) if Poser-sota loses 1 of the next 3, then loses CCG in a blowout, we go to Rose!

Now, ALL of this is a moot point if we win out!!!

You're correct that there are no criteria included in the contract. But it's the Rose Bowl committee that chooses, not the Big Ten.
 
Sorry, I meant Rose Bowl. Either way, they're not locked into any selection criteria like the Sugar and Orange will be.
