It's a very distinct possibility that this could happen.

Iowa wins it's next two - shouldn't be a problem
fOSU has an easy game and a bye week.

Both teams will be top 10 or very close to it.

The only other three games that could be a potential stopping point for them would be Va Tech v Miami in Miami, Arks at Miss St or Oklahoma @ Baylor. Those are the only games that they could seriously consider.
 


I don't know about everyone else here but I'm worried about both upcoming road games. Iowa played good Pass D today but throughout the rest of the season they haven't, IMO, and that is what these two upcoming teams do best. NW I think will be harder then the Indiana game; 1 because Iowa has bad history playing against NW lately, 2 they will run the hurry up and the spread pretty often and I think both of those are some of this Iowa D's weaknesses.
 


only if wisconsin loses meaning that it would be Iowa vs. Ohio State for the Big Ten championship. If Wisconsin doesn't lose I see them going to Baylor vs. Oklahoma because of the Baylor factor

What exactly is the Baylor factor?

Even people in Waco dont care about Baylor
 


I thought all year that gameday would be in ic for the ohio state game, but i thought both teams would be top 7. Oh ya Lou Holtz is an &^%$
 


If Baylor wins the next two weeks, there will be a Baylor factor. But those aren't going to be easy games.

Been thinking all year Iowa and OSU is a Gameday game and yes, Iowa winning the next 2 games shouldn't be a problem. That being said, either of these teams is capable of beating Iowa and NU has flat out had Iowa's number.

espn loves them some buckeyes. so we have that in play. i'm not near as concerned about the next two after seeing what we did to old sparty.
 


From what I've heard Gameday is going to be in Chicago for the Illinois-Northwestern game because it is in Wrigley Field. That game has already been slated for the 2:30 ABC game. It's not because of the match up but the site.

No way...
 


I can't watch Gameday anymore. They are heavy SEC and all about promoting their "conference networks". BTN pregame show is better.

Even if Wisky doesn't loose this game will still be for a B10 title. Granted it will be shared but one of the teams comming out of that game will have a peice of the B10 title.
 


OSU can still win the Big Ten and go to the Rose even with Wisconsin going 11-1. They just need to be ranked ahead of Wisconsin in the BCS.

If three teams are tied, and if one team defeated both of the other teams, then that team shall be the representative. OSU still in it.

If three teams are still tied, and if two of the three teams defeated the third team, the third team is eliminated, and the remaining two teams shall revert to the two-team tie procedure. OSU still in it.

If three teams are still tied, and there is a tie game between two of the three teams, or if two or all three of the teams did not play each other, the representative shall be determined on a percentage basis of all games played. OSU Still in it.

If three teams are still tied, and one of the three teams is eliminated through the percentage basis of all games played, the remaining two teams shall revert to the two-team tie procedure. OSU Still in it.

If three teams are still tied, and all three teams have the same winning percentage of all games played, the highest-ranked team in the final BCS standings shall be the representative.
 


If we're playing at home, I'm tailgating and don't care. If we're playing on the road, I'm watching the Big Ten Network. Screw Gameday.
 




It doesnt matter, OSU and Iowa will still be playing for the Big Ten title barring an upset in the next 2 weeks. You think ESPN is gonna pass on the Big Ten Title game rematch from last year???
 


If Baylor-OU is for the Big XII South Title, I could see Gameday being in Waco that day. It would be a "great story."

Do you really think Iowa will be top 10 if they beat Indiana and Northwestern? NO!

Not a top 10 v top 10 but pretty damn close. We need to move up 6 spots but will only move up 4.

Arizona plays Stanford this week so one of them will drop below Iowa +1
Mich St - we will be ranked higher than them. +2
LSU plays Bama this week. If LSU loses, they will drop out of the top 15 +3
TCU and Utah face of this weekend. The loser drops like a stone to around 17 or so. +4

That realistically is the most we could count on so we move up 4 spots to #12. OSU moves up 3 spots since Arizona/Stanford are ranked lower than them but others are higher.

That gives us a #8 to #10 OSU vs #12 to #14 Iowa with the Big10 championship and a BCS berth on the line. If that doesn't draw Gameday then nothing ever will.
 


Our remaining games, in terms of difficulty (from easiest to most difficult):
1) Minnesota: Short of a terrible showing by the entire team, I just don't see how we can lose to the Gophers. I mean, they are really bad. REALLY bad.

2) Indiana: They have a good pass offense, which could be problematic, but that's about it for them. They have no rush offense, and their defense is bad. Iowa would most certainly win a shootout with these guys if it came down to it. Last year's game was as bad as it was purely based on Iowa's mistakes. I just don't see that happening this year.

3) Northwestern: Let's face it...these guys aren't that great, yet always seem to find a way to beat us. Their offense concerns me because I think their dink-n-dunk method would be bad for us. Not sure about their defense, however, so again, if push came to shove, could we out shoot them?

4) tOSU: These guys are hard to peg. On the one hand, they're Ohio State. They have tons of talent and have a history of winning. On the other, they aren't as dominant as they once were. Last year, we took them to overtime, in The Shoe, without Stanzi. This year, they haven't shown me that they can play well against tough teams. Yes, they beat Miami, but it wasn't a fantastic performance. They also seemed to struggle against Illinois, and they were dominated by a Wisconsin team that we hung in with (and perhaps beat in some aspects).

Question is, what Iowa team shows up the next four weeks? Will it be the one that was out there for the Arizona, Wisconsin, 4th quarter Michigan games? Or will it be the one that showed up last weekend against MSU? Special teams and defense will be what make the difference.

I'm not sure we'll leap Utah or TCU.
