Good news.....

Listen especially at the 2:00 mark.....I'm thinking that as long as they don't pull a Wisconsin of last year, the chances of the rose are pretty good if they happen to lose.

The good news would behawks win. I'm sick of hearing about what would happen if the Hawks don't win. Until that happens I only care about the best case scenario, and that's who are they playing in the CFP?

This is old news, Jon has addressed the Rose Bowl selection criteria in depth and did a much better job of it than ESPN. Iowa must stay above OSU following a loss in the B1G CCG to be selected by the Rose Bowl and Iowa would only be able to drop one or two spots at most for this to be the case. Unfortunately Iowa would likely drop more than that and OSU would be selected. OSU is definitely not one of the exceptions to picking from CFP rank order since they haven't been to the Rose Bowl since 2010.

Win or go home.

This is is the real thing now.
