Think about it most teams still have 5-6 games left to play. Even taking into account head to head match ups of top 25 teams it is possible for every team that needs to lose 3 or 4 games to do so. Also 3 of the teams don't have to lose leaving 1 spot for Iowa. If I had time I would full of every team schedule in the NCAA to prove it.

Are you saying that everyone in this thread is irrelevant? Eh, I've been called worse.
Not likely to happen but it could happen.
SEC West beat each other up...
LSU over Bama
Bama over Auburn
Georgia over Auburn
MSU over Ole Miss.
MSU rolls to the SEC West Title, and takes one playoff slot after winning the SEC
Florida St. loses to Florida and the ACC gets nothing.
Pac 12 has Oregon lose to Utah
Az St loses to ND, and Arizona, but has edge on USC and UCLA and takes the Pac 12 South with three losses and beats Oregon, giving them 3 losses...nobody from Pac 12 is in.
ND loses to USC...out.
TCU beats everyone and gets a playoff spot.
Iowa runs the table, beating ranked Wis., Neb, and #2 MSU ....Iowa is in.
SEC West beat each other up...
LSU over Bama
Bama over Auburn
Georgia over Auburn
MSU over Ole Miss.

Well let's double it then
to a hundred and eleven and then
or a hundred and four?
what if the hawks beat 'em all by a hundred and four
wouldn't it, couldn't perhaps
open the door?

It would not, could not open the door.
Not doubling it, not taken times four.
Iowa has already made it's bed,
Despite what that looney, Hawknick, said.
It's just not going to happen, for sure.
Sorry, no playoffs N C Hawker.

Playoffs? Hell, even if Iowa runs the table and wins the B1G title game, it's likely they don't even get a spot in one of the "BCS" bowls due to their ranking. Citrus Bowl is probably the ceiling for us.

There is no way Iowa would make the playoff, no way. They would not even be a thought. They are currently unranked and have too big a hill to climb. The Sagarrin rating of the teams they've played has been horrible so no team with two losses is going to shoot up & trump the other conference teams. My goal for the team is to win the W & make the BIG championship game & go to one of the nicest "non-playoff" bowls. That at least is still possible.

Seriously? You do realize the BIG is fighting an image problem, don't you? The BIG prob ranks #4 out of the 5 power conferences. No 2 loss team out of the BIG is going to have a chance. Michigan St or Ohio St maybe, but unlikely.

I sincerely hope that it's just Cyclone trolls with too much time on their hands having fun here. I would hope that nobody is actually that clueless.

This is pretty much what I am saying. It is mathematically possible that all the teams that need to have 3 or more losses can lose that many. It would depend on a lot of upsets and high ranked teams beating up on each other. From what I see there are two undefeated teams, I'll concede that they probably won't lose enough games. That leaves 2 spots. I counted 12 1 loss teams teams in the top 25. All but 1 teams would have to lose 2 of their remaining games. Out of about 4 or 5 games for most teams right? Iowa puts Wisconsin's and Minnesota's losses to 3 just by winning also. All the remaining 2 loss teams with a higher strength of schedule would only have to lose one game. This leaves a bunch of teams with 3 losses that could theoretically put Iowa ahead of them for the play offs.
here are some of the teams listed by JHHawk and some other ways they can lose
LSU loses to Arkansas
Alabama loses to Miss. State and W. Carolina
Georgia loses to Georgia Tech
Georgia tech loses to NC State
Auburn loses to Samford and Georgia
MSU loses to Iowa and Maryland or Rutgers or Pedo State
Old Miss loses to Miss. Sate
Missouri losses to Texas A&M
Oregon loses to Colorado in Oregon State
Utah loses to Oregon
TCU. Loses to Kansas in Texas
Kansas State loses to TCU and Kansas
Arizona State loses to WSU and Oregon State
Notre Dame loses to Arizona State and Louisville
Baylor loses to Texas Tech and Oklahoma State
Oklahoma loses to Baylor
Nebraska loses to Iowa and Minnesota or Wisconsin
Ohio State loses to Michigan State and Minnesota
Aizona loses any game
UCLA loses any game
Clemson loses any game
Duke loses any 2 games
