Go State. Win out. Take control of your own bowl destiny.

Depends on the bowl game's conference affiliations. See below:
30.9.2.1 Exceptions – 12 Game Season. During each year in which an institution is permitted to participate in 12 regular-season football games, an institution with a record of six wins and six losses may be selected for participation in a bowl game if that institution is a member of a conference with which the bowl organization has a contractual affiliation, and there is no other team in that conference qualified for selection per Bylaw 30.9.2. If the conference with which the bowl is affiliated has no other institution that is qualified for selection or a team with a 6-6 record, the bowl may invite a team with a 6–6 regular-season record from another conference with which it does not have an affiliation only if there is no other team with a 7–5 record available in the Division I FBS. Additionally, a bowl game without a conference affiliation may invite any team with a record of six wins and six losses if there is no team with a 7–5 record available in the Division I FBS. During a season in which an institution competes in 13 regular season contests, the institution must establish a record of seven wins, six losses or better to qualify for bowl selection.
Edit: Now that I've reread your post, I realize that you meant exactly this. Sorry about that!

Life's not fair for MAC, Conference USA, Sunbelt, Mountain West and WAC members.
The Big Ten, SEC and PAC10 will get bids with teams that might not have as good of records.

A 6-6 team in a major conference certainly played a tougher schedule than a 7-5 Sunbelt, and is therefore more deserving.
At least, that's my biased take on it.

I don't know the rules ( neither do the replay officials)  But I just rather see them win out

So that pretty much means that if MSU gets to 6-6, they will go to a bowl.

Honestly, I dont think it is really going to make a huge difference between 7-5 and 6-6...if anything we would only end up screwing ourselves by potentially knocking PSU out of a BCS thus dropping us in the pecking order of the B10 bowls..

PSU, especially considering their wimpy schedule, could play themselves out of BCS consideration this weekend. There are scenarios where 7-5 might make a difference over 6-6. Plus, it would be a great boost to beat a team as highly regarded as PSU.
Either way, we have to get by Western before worrying about anything else.

The fact of the matter is this: whoever wins PSU/OSU we need to win out the rest of the way to have a chance at the BCS.
