What if we finish last 3 games like this and this happens?

1. Let's say Penn St. wins out and finishes regular season ranked in top 8 BCS.

2. Arizona beats Oregon and wins the Pac 10. Finishes regular season in top 12 BCS

3. Wisconsin and OSU finish regular season ranked in top 25.

4. Iowa State somehow becomes bowl eligible.


Iowa 34 - NW 13
Iowa 27 - OSU 20
Iowa 45 - Minn 10

Would that be enough to get us to #4 in both human polls, but propel our computer ranking so high that we leap frog undefeated Texas in BCS?

You would think so, but I just do not see any way that The Powers that be allow us to jump Texas. No way, no how.

"Should" Yes. "Will" No. The problem lies in that the human voters will know exactly where each team will need to be ranked to get to specific Bowls. As it has been stated time and time again nobody outside the Big Ten wants to see Iowa in the NC game. This will moste definatly factor into the human voters final vote prior to Bowl Season.

Personally, I don't care about the polls (although I am having fun reading the scenerios on this board). Every fan need to think back to the beginning of the season when Jon, and others were predicting an 8-4/9-3 season. As far as I'm concerned everyting from here on out is Gravy. This has been an awesome ride so far and I'm looking forward to each Saturday. Even if it means each Saturday takes a few years off my life.
