Iowa or Michigan State?

I would go with MSU for two reasons. One is the conference championship. The other is how bad Indy sucked after the loss. The memories of that night after a win would be worth this year.

Another thing to remember is we wouldn't have the memory of 12-0 anymore since MSU lost a regular season game. That might be enough to tip the scales for some.

Good points, and last year after the MSU game I probably would have traded that win for 3-9 the following if you asked me at that moment.

Now since I have come to grips with the loss last year vs MSU (I can handle losing a close game to a good team when we played our hearts out). This season has been disappointing and a struggle, and I can't imagine how miserable it would be if we lost to ISU, Minnesota and got clobbered by Michigan for instance.......and were sitting at 3-7 right now with wins over Miami, Rutgers, & Purdue.

If you take last year AND this year, who would you rather be results-wise? Win conference championship, get smoked in the playoff, losing record the next year. OR. Lose conf title game, get smoked in the Rose Bowl, have 8 wins and a decent bowl within reach in year 2. Comparing just Iowa and MSU, I like where we stand. Your thoughts?

It's close, but I'll take the '15 B1G Championship. Only so many chances at those babies....dang it.

This is why I need the last 2 games of data to decide. 6-6 would be a major, major disappointment.

But really, so would 7-5. Even 8-4 is going to feel an awful lot like the normal year's 7-5.

6-6 would be travesty, fueling much of what has become of the board, for good reason.
