Kirk Herbstriet (sp) thinks so. Said he sees OSU playing Iowa in the championship game but he did say OSU wins.

Sorry couldn't resist
 
If Iowa plays OSU, there could not be a worse matchup for Iowa. The saving grace would be that when OSU wins, they cannot go anywhere, so Iowa would be the representative by default. In my lifetime, Iowa has won about 6 six games against OSU...about one win per decade. OSU is one team I just do not want Iowa to play.
 
That's the reason I am still ticked at the coaching staff (Ferentz) for playing for the tie and OT two years ago and and our defense for letting Pryor get away on that 4th and long last year. These chances for victory over fOSU have been few and far between over the years and I thought we let those two slip through our fingers.
 
Wow, some of you guys can really be d*cks sometimes. Is it really that big of a deal if somebody posts a duplicate post? Maybe some don't visit the site very frequently or want to page through threads to see if somebody has already brought it up.

Anywho, I have a hard time believing that Herbie really believes that OSU is going to win the B10. Maybe he just predicted that to keep those obsessed OSU crazies at bay.

I agree about being ticked about not going for the win at OSU two years ago. You don't play for the tie in somebody else's house, especially if it's the shoe! You go for the win and try to get the hell out of there. But, I can't really be mad at them for Pryor being a freak of an athlete and picking up that 4th and 13th (I think that's what it was). The D-line lost contain. It would've been nice to throw a blitz at him, but we hardly ever do that. Hindsight is always 20-20.

Have nothing but respect for Herbie but this might be a stretch. As with any team, a lot of things have to go your way. But, anything is possible. I am anxious to see how this Iowa team comes together. Especially interested in seeing how Vandy handles being the starter and how our front four operate against the run.

I was only posting so others may have something to chat about. I saw it on ESPN today, not knowing it was old news, and thought it would be an interesting discussion. Also, not being a frequent poster or a real frequent viewer your right I hadn't seen the other thread started about this topic. Maybe I should go back to being a mole on this site so I don't upset anyone?
 
Exactly, HawkeyeBA. It's like some posters enjoy being a jerk. Aren't we all (except for the occasional Cyclone or Huskers poster, etc.) supposed to be on the same team?
 
I actually think Herbie is picking a legitimate championship game. I think it is Nebby or Iowa in the Championship game and even though I think the Nebby game is probably a loss (mainly because it is at Nebby). Nebby will lose 2 or more conference games because of the gauntlet they have to run. OSU I disagree with but I can see it because they still have the talent of OSU.

1. Ohio State won't face any sanctions for this season. If they were going to face sanctions this year, the sanctions would have been handed down by now. They hand them down early enough that players can transfer out should they so choose. Any player whose team faces a postseason ban for the remainder of their eligibility term can transfer to any other school and play immediately.

2. There seems to be a lot of confusion about this issue, so I'll clear it up. If Ohio State ever does face a postseason ban, it will be just that, a postseason ban. They wouldn't be eligible for the Big Ten title game should they face such a ban because it is considered a postseason game. In 1993, Auburn went undefeated and didn't get to play in the SEC title game; Alabama played in it instead. If USC were to win their division this year, they would not be eligible for the Pac-12 title game. In basketball, if a team faces a postseason ban, they aren't eligible for their conference's tournament (see 2010 Pac-10 Tournament re: USC). Also, to preempt this question, no, it isn't up to the conference. Tournaments and championship games are considered postseason by the NCAA, which is why the NCAA gets to decide whether or not a conference is eligible to hold a championship game (the current rule states that a conference has to have at least 12 teams in order to be eligible to hold a game.
