Unranked Iowa In the Big 10 Championship?

[MelroseHawkins]

Boy, this would be a first. I realize Iowa has one game to take care of, but, they could be the first team playing in the c-ship game that is unranked.

 

[ssckelley]

Iowa did get votes in the AP this week so if they beat Nebraska handily you never know.

 

[HawkGold]

I wouldn't want to play Iowa.

It’s not totally unheard of. It’s never happened in the B1G or SEC, but it’s happened several times in the ACC, PAC12, and B12

 

[Iceman]

We got 5 votes in the AP poll. They don't rank past 25, but with those 5 points we are 31st

You did not go back far enough. In 2012, 7-5 Wisconsin played in the Big Ten CCG.

 

[Fryowa]

If we wreck nebraska Friday and somehow get ranked, We’ll be the only school ranked in football, basketball, and wrestling. Oh and WBB too.

If the Hawks win this week, and a couple of things fall right will be #24 or #23

Nebraska is going to be a very tough out. I hope the defense plays like they did against Wisconsin.

 

[NCHawker]

I'd like to see:

Iowa show a lot of improvement running the ball and pass protection against Nebraksa .

All white alternative uniforms for INDY

And got to the Rose Bowl if I'm not mistaken. I believe that was the year they could have scored 100 on Nebraska. What a game.

If we win next week:




actually....that would be if we beat Michigan or Ohio St.

The huge asterisk here is that the two teams with a better conference record in the Leaders division that year (Ohio State at 8-0 and Penn State at 6-2) were ineligible to play in that game due to NCAA sanctions.

#21 in Sagarin

 

[NorthKCHawk]

Its rivalry week. There will be some upsets. If we beat Nebbie would not surprise me if Iowa sneaks in at 25. The AP writers understand the value in juicing up a match-up by giving out a ranking.

Tallest midget.

No chance the CFP Committee doesn't put us in at 24/25 with a win this week. I'm honestly surprised they didn't put us in at 25 just to hype the Nebraska game a bit this week (emphasis on a bit).
