The Final 5 Big Ten Opponents have a combined 2-14 in-conference record. Those two wins were against each other (Minnesota over Purdue and Nebraska over Minnesota) because somebody has to win ... Just have to keep on keeping on.

After taking a bit of time to review the BCS Selection Rules, I think the 1 Up Scenario is possible but not incredibly likely. If MSU got killed in the Big Ten Championship and fell out of the Top 14, then the 1 Up Scenario is guaranteed. If MSU beats OSU, then OSU will almost assuredly be...

2013 NCAA College Football Polls and Rankings for Week 15 - ESPN A win in a bowl game (especially if it is against a Top 15 SEC team) will probably get Iowa ranked at the end of the season.

Oklahoma State was 0.0838 points behind Alabama last week in the BCS Standings. The USA Today Poll is out and Oklahoma State gained 0.0302 points on Alabama. If you assume Oklahoma State goes to 2 in the computers and Alabama to 3, then Oklahoma State will gain another 0.02 points. That would...

With the craziness surrounding today, let's play a game of predict the BCS Standings. Here is what I've got provided Stanford pulls off a double-digit victory over Cal. 1) LSU 11-0 2) Alabama 10-1 3) Arkansas 10-1 4) Stanford 10-1 5) Virginia Tech 10-1 6) Boise State 9-1 7) Houston...

I just bet a Michigan (+165) and Iowa (+135) parlay for +4.228. Am I crazy?

Nothing to sneeze at after Saturday's loss. Associated Press Top 25 Poll - NCAA Rankings - College Football - SI.com

I know people are pretty down right now, but if Iowa beats OSU, it would be only the 2nd time in Iowa's history that they would have beaten Michigan and OSU in one year (a 4-5 team did this in 1962). I know it is little consolation, but at least it is something.

From yesterday's Adam Rittenberg Big Ten Chat: "John (Iowa City, IA) Do think Ken O'Keefe is to blame for the Hawkeyes red zone troubles last week? Adam Rittenberg Actually, I think O'Keefe is to blame for all the problems in the world (hunger, disease, war). C'mon, Hawkeyes fans. Make some...

I was checking out Jon's Tuesday Presser Day Links this afternoon and the link below originally stated that Iowa needed to be alone a top of the Big Ten standings to go to the Rose Bowl. Big Ten football: Here's the Rose-y scenario for Big Ten contenders - chicagotribune.com Of course we...

I don't normally pull posts from other websites, but I thought this guy did his homework when he posted on BCS Guru's "Boise to Humanitarian Bowl" article. "From ESPN's BCS website: If any of the 10 slots remain open after application of provisions 1 through 5, and if no team qualifies under...

NCAA Polls - College Football Harris Top 25 Poll - FOX Sports on MSN

The computers are not exactly favoring Wisconsin right now and Wisconsin doesn't have a late game Top 25 match-up, but my prediction will be that Wisconsin comes out as #7 in the BCS today meaning it will only need to move-up 5 spots to make the championship. Does this turn around and favor...

Right now I have them at #13 jumping Florida State, Oklahoma State, Arizona, Stanford and Michigan State. I will update my thoughts after the late games.

With the Rucker situation I think we are really missing Jon & Steve's commentary on the radio. If either of you are up for it I would love to hear some commentary or an article on the site.

I know everyone is down in the dumps but I think it very realistic that Wisconsin will lose another game. While Michigan and Northwestern are not world-beaters they have both had significant success against Michigan. In the past 10 seasons, Northwestern is 4-2 and Michigan is 4-4 against...

Only 3 BCS top 25 teams are underdogs with the early lines. #5 MSU @ #18 Iowa (-4.5) #6 Missouri @ #14 Nebraska (-6) #25 Baylor @ Texas (-9) Let's hope for upsets everywhere outside of Iowa City.

It will be #5 v #18 next week in Iowa City. Let's go Hawks!

I know everyone is down in the dumps today after the tough loss yesterday, but I think today's polls might brighten a few spirits. Here is my prediction for the AP Top 25: 1) Oregon, 2) Auburn, 3) Boise State, 4) TCU, 5) Alabama, 6) Michigan State, 7) Utah, 8) Wisconsin, 9) Ohio State, 10)...

In another thread someone mentioned that only once has a team beaten a #1 team at home and then won the next week on the road in the past 20 years. I thought this was an interesting stat that I wanted to investigate further. I used the AP #1 team since I could find week by week results for...
