Iowa is ranked above Wisconson in this week's Power Rankings but below them in the pecking order of the Bowl Projections. Huh?

Just heard that Villanova gave away 750 tickets tonight because they knew the weather would keep some fans away. With a storm predicted for tomorrow, Iowa should consider doing something like this. There are certainly logistics to consider, but CHA needs to be nearly full and rocking!

I plan to watch the game but who do Iowa fans want to win?

The Purdue game tickets were cheap and thousands of enthusiastic Hawkeyes showed up to support the team and coaches. It was a blast and showed that the negativity on this board reflects a skewed segment of our fan base. It was heartwarming. Also, kudos to the Purdue faithful who cheered on...

SB Nation projects Iowa as #4 Big Ten to the Gator. Wouldn't this be great? Michigan is #3 Big Ten projected to the Outback. Could we even pass them in the Bowl Hierarchy? Go Hawks!

Their offense beat our defense, but for the most part, ours beat theirs as well. We have at least a fair chance of beating every one of the teams left on the schedule. The Hawks will not face a better team or play in a tougher environment than they did today. I hope OSU wins out and goes to...

I am getting tired of the the suggestions that people are drunk, drinking "Kool Aid", using crack, etc. because they say anything positive about the Hawks. Enough already.

We lost 1 Big Ten game to a great defense. I hope the team will use the bye weeks to improve and play well against OSU. I'll be cheering for Legends teams to get beat so we can improve our standing in the division and bowl hierarchy. I'll be at the Ohio State wearing black and gold, not...

I am really surprised by the negativity on this "fan" site. I don't see what discussing how bad we are achieves; it certainly doesn't help the morale of any fan or players, and could discourage possible recruits. We are 1-1, and people seem to be writing the team off. The assumption seems to...

What happens if a division has a three way tie with a triangle of wins? Who goes to the B10 championship game/ Does it go by BCS standing or something else?

What happens when division leaders with identical records have triangular or other weird ties? How do they determine who will play in the Big 10 title game?

How do the bye weeks affect the BCS? We have fewer wins than some of the teams ahead of us who have not had their byes yet. Will we gain as more teams skip their chances to post wins?

Who Hawk fans should pull for in this weekend's games is not as straightforward as you might think. There is the short term ratings gain to be balanced against the long term benefits (NC vs, Bowl situation complicates things too). Who do we want to win in these big match-ups and WHY...

If Alabama loses, we may end up cheering for Boise State to stay undefeated and get into the National title game. If Iowa and Ohio State are both undefeated when they play in November, we would have a good chance of going into the Rose Bowl at either 11-1 as the Big Ten champion or 10-2 as the...
