Apparently, that doesn't matter. Unless I'm misinterpreting things, the first four tiebreakers are all related to in conference play. Overall winning percentage is Tiebreaker 6.

It seems to go head to head, in division record, in division record based on order of finish, record against common conference opponents, polls, THEN out of conference record, then random draw.
It's not possible for four teams to still all be tied after head-to-head.

In your scenario you have
Penn State 2-1 (beat both Michigans)
Michigan St 2-1 (beat OSU and Michigan)
OSU 1-2 (beat Penn State)
Michigan 1-2 (beat OSU)

So OSU and Michigan are eliminated, and now you have a two-way tie which Penn State takes by head-to-head. You'd need a 3-team or 5-team tie to get past the head-to-head tiebreaker.

Unfortunately everyone else is now out, and what the hell happened to Rice? I was projecting them in, in, in, and now they're out with a game to go. Jesus Krispies.
Rice hasn't managed to look good against anyone except loving Wagner (a 1-10 FCS team); we looked sort of respectable against Texas I guess but given how far down Texas is this year, that's not that big of an accomplishment. The four teams Rice has beaten have a total of 6 wins between them. Even in a conference that's as big of a garbage fire as C-USA, that's not good enough to get to a bowl.
