It’s going to be 70F for me and my family wherever Iowa goes. So ... whatever.

I have a feeling everyone getting moved down a game affects wisconsin and michigan state's fortunes more than Iowa's.

This one won't happen. Not a chance. NW will get taken to the woodshed.

Well, given the fact that fOSU got bent over and prison-worked by Purdue and barely surviving a shootout with Maryland, I wouldn't say "not a chance." Highly unlikely, yes, but fOSU has given us reason to doubt its dominance.

Yes. Those two teams are highly undesirable right now. Iowa finished pretty strong.

This is what I've been hoping for for weeks. Reeeally hoping for this so they'll expand to an 8-team playoff.

8 is too many and punished the top two teams. I'd prefer 6, with a bye for the top two, like in the NFL.

That'd be good too. I honestly just want more playoff football.

With the exception of the Sun Bowl vs Washington, every Pac 12 team we have played a Fry/Ferentz era bowl has throttled us. They have always had a huge advantage in team speed, even UCLA in the 1986 Rose Bowl.

Our Holiday Bowl history includes three games that have been decided by a total of two points (including the 13-13 tie vs Ty (appropriately) Detmer and BYU in 1991. That all being said, I'd like to see us get a fair bowl and not get bumped another rung down the ladder. If we truly are the best four loss team in the country, we should be able to hold our own against west coast speed this time.

Now if Texas beats Oklahoma, this weekend, all hell breaks loose. I suppose they would have to put tOSU in there if the Buckeyes win.

Lol. Hold our own in team speed? Wow. That’s a good one. Lol

I understand a little better now why Jerry Palm keeps projecting MSU for the Outback.

NW, Wisc, and Iowa have all recently gone to the Outback. MSU has not been to the Outback in ages.

Let MSU go to the Steakhouse. Iowa would not travel well there having been there too many times lately.
