Or Wisconsin could put this out of reach quickly.

Yes, and I'm leaning towards Citrus with Wisconsin beating Minnesota.
tOSU - Playoff
Wisconsin - Rose Bowl
Pedo State - NY6 Bowl
Outback - Minnesota
Citrus - Iowa
Holiday - Michigan
Gator - Indiana
Pinstripe - Illinois or MSU
RedBox - Illinois or MSU
I would enjoy seeing Wisconsin getting drilled again by Ohio State.
This! Only thing is put the Citrus above the outback because it is a better bowl!
This is correct.

Outback, Citrus, and Holiday are all similar bowls. The only reason why I have Iowa in the Citrus over Michigan is because Michigan last played in the Citrus in 2015.
They key to all of this is tOSU winning the BTC and a NY6 bowl taking PSU. If one or both of those doesn't happen then Iowa could slip to the Gator Bowl.
i don’t like the idea of Iowa playing auburn or Florida. However I live in Florida, so I love the idea of taking the kids to a bowl with a quick car ride and no overnight stays or airline tickets.
Iowa wouldn’t matchup well to Auburn or Florida, they both have fast blitzing defenses and way too many playmakers.

Holiday Bowl is what I would prefer, personally. Different scenery for everyone.
Absolutely.
Here is a prediction from Minneygopherhole site
I think there's a decent chance the Bowls go:
OSU-CFP
PSU-Orange
Wis-Rose
Michigan-Citrus
MN-Outback
They had Iowa in the Quick Lane.

Give me the Auburn matchup. Bo Nix at quarterback doesn't scare me at all. Lol, don't let this Alabama game fool you, give Phil a month to prepare, he would have Mr. Nix rattled. In all seriousness, Iowa/Auburn would be a good game, I do think Iowa could compete and win.
Haha, like that is credible. No way on God's green earth do we go to the quick lane bowl.

Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan have all been to the Citrus more recently. Makes sense for Michigan Holiday, Minnesota Outback, Iowa Citrus. Assuming OSU playoff, Wisconsin/Penn State (higher CFP ranked team to Rose) Rose/NY6. Michigan can't go to Outback or Citrus based on B10 agreement.
I would actually love the matchup, not because I think it’s a good matchup schematically for Iowa. However I strongly prefer a matchup with a top tier SEC team over a sleepy pac-12 program with an apathetic fanbase.
Iowa would hang with Auburn on a neutral site. Probably wouldn’t win, but would hang within a TD

Frankly, it's games against top-tier teams that will wake our collective asses up (staff, fans, etc.). Beating the 5th-place Pac 12 team in the Redbox Bowl does nothing. Getting outclassed by an Auburn or Florida will make the staff see just how much we are lacking in certain areas.
