What if...

I am not at all predicting this will happen, but what if Iowa somehow won the big ten tourney. Would they be the first ever #16 seed from a "BCS" conference?

If they were in the play-in game, they clearly would be the first major conference team to be in that game.

Pigs are flying out your rear end dude...ain't gonna happen. GUARANTEE IT>
 
Probably more of a 15 seed. A few years ago Georgia had an under .500 record and was a 14.
If they weren't a BCS school they would have been a play in team.

If we got in we would have to win atleast 4 more so that puts us at 13 wins
 
I would be pulling for a 16 seed. I doubt any 1 seed would be used to playing such slow ball and might give us a shot if we shoot 50% behind the arc again. plus some of their players might be too distracted ROTF when Little Lick comes on the court. :)
 
If they win the Big 10 tourney I think there is a good chance they ride the momentum to the Final Four!
 
My mind can't even fathom this as a possibility. The winning the BTT that is. Or a tourney game against a 16 seed.
 
Iowa sweeping the BTT would be as big a thing to me as the Miracle on Ice. "Do you believe in miracles? Yes!"

14.
 
Wow what a great question. I don't see anyway around us being a 16 seed. I also agree we could end up in the "play in game" depending on what happens in some of the more obscure conference tournaments.
 
My first reaction to the OP was to remember some outer-space movie, series or perhaps even a cartoon from way, way back, in which the robot/computer popped a gasket in response to some batch of data and kept repeating, "That does not compute! That does not compute! That does not compute!" ;)

I was going to offer a straight answer to the question but after a minute or so of thinking about it I thought, there's no way I'm spending another minute of my life wrestling with this hypothetical!
 
they would never put Iowa in the play-in game for 1 reason..

1. Two of those conferences we have never heard of will get that one team we've never heard of that will knock off the other team we've never heard of. aka Bracket Busters

The play-in game is reserved for that accidental OMG did you hear about Turnover University beating Albany to get in the dance..

Thanks for taking another minute to let us know you won't be spending another minute or so of your life wrestling with this hypothetical. You are a fine manager of time.
 
They'd be a 13-15 seed. They'd have a higher RPI/Pomeroy than some of the lower schools. As they have at least 13 wins (assuming Iowa wins no more the rest of the way) - yet they'd have some quality wins by winning the BTT.

My pleasure. It just shows that I care more about conversing with fine folks like you than I do about trying to solve a problem with probability so small it can't be seen with the naked eye. ;)
