It's my opinion that everyone in the country except Iowa fans and to their credit the selection committee wants Iowa O U T of the mix. My reasoning is that there's a huge guilt complex about leaving the Big 12 out the past couple years, as well as the business aspect. Big time college football is now a business with TV revenue being a huge consideration. In turn TV networks want the largest possible audience which allows them easier sales of advertising in both interest and dollars charged. If this is the case, all of the powers in the kabal do not want a non 'sexy' program like Iowa taking a slot from a Notre Dame or Ohio State or any of the larger TV market teams. Just a theory I throw out for consideration. Bottom line, get prepared to take it in the shorts because the only way Iowa gets selected is if there is absolutely NO way to prevent it. That's why all the talk is about a 1 loss Oklahoma or Notre Dame or even Alabama. A loss SHOULD equal a loss. It shouldn't matter where or why or when. It's why there seems to be asterisks when most of the "experts" discuss records of the 1 and 2 loss teams. There's an accepted perception our schedule is weaker than those teams, when in reality it's stronger at this point. Again, I give kudos to the committee for their honesty in that THEY have us ranked this high at this point. At least til now, they're giving us a shot. Just something I've felt for awhile. Thought I'd throw it out there this a.m.
