Why pitch it outside when their defense is faster then anyone on your offense?

:-))

That and the Vikings are pretty hateable.

An interception would be epic.

How many annoying Favre things does Brennaman say today?

come on. they trailed by more than a touchdown going into the fourth quarter. part of the margin of victory was an interception returned 90 yards for a touchdown after the ball bounced off of 30 players, and indiana also got jobbed out of 7 points by a terrible review ruling. in addition to that they needed indiana to completely choke and then give up to win by that margin. so fumble/INT returns shouldn't count in the final score? b/c that's going to turn a few of Iowa's nailbiters into bigger wins (Arkansas State had a 75 yard pick 6, UM had a pick 6, probably others). Iowa's defense causes TOs. Why is that a bad thing for Iowa? The overturned TD may or may not have been a TD. I didn't see a replay that showed convincingly that he was in. I can certainly see why the replay guys thought his leg landed out at the same time the foot landed in. It was a close play. Playing the what if game with the most recent victory while not looking in detail at all the other games is sort of a load of crap though. Stanzi had a crappy 3rd Qtr and a very good 4th Qtr. Indiana's not a great team. They have some talent, but they have a lot of flaws. Shouldn't be surprising that as the game goes on, the better team is going to pull away. With the obvious exception of points scored in "garbage time" when both teams have scrubs in, it's surprising to me that 4th Qtr points are somehow less valuable in your opinion than points scored earlier in the game. They won by 18. It wasn't a nail-biter. I don't think it's fair to say that was an 18 point game. It was closer than that and if it weren't for the weird pick 6 then it might be a blowout the other way. But Iowa outscored Indiana 35-3 in the second half. What would people's perceptions be if Iowa was up 35-3 at the end of the first half and then won by the same score?

I think the Browns should consider moving to Baltimore.

A Rose Bowl appearance is that massive of a deal to you that it is one of 2 things you want to see in your sports life? No not really. But in terms of realistic things it is. I've seen a Packers Super Bowl and Iowa is probably not going to get to a National Championship in the current system so a Rose Bowl (or a Rose Bowl win I should say) is top of the mountain. There was a time when the Rose Bowl was a massive deal and I guess I am still of that mindset. I'd probably add Iowa final four appearance to that list but that's just laughable.

I still can't believe I just saw a moment of my life where Brett Favre got booed at Lambeau.

I'd be very happy with a Rose Bowl. That completes one of the two sport "accomplishments" that I want to see in my life. The other would be Cubs in the World Series. But, like any fan of a sports team, I want to see my team win the biggest championship possible and seeing that the nature of college football is that you need to get respect from others I try to argue for my team. If college football was like other sports and had a playoff I couldn't care less about respect. I don't know if Iowa deserves a title shot or not (they've struggled against really mediocre to bad teams) they most likely don't if there are other undefeated BCS teams but man, it would suck a little bit to go undefeated and not get a chance to be champion.

Why, you want to watch us beat down your conference again? :D First of all, who is this "us" you referred to? Do you play for Iowa? If not, you can drop the "us". Second of all, Iowa did not beat the SEC in their Bowl Game last season. They did not play the SEC. They beat South Carolina. A. I have a degree from the school I can say us. They represent my University, State and me. If you don't like it don't I really don't care. B. Iowa is 3-1 vs the SEC under Ferentz C. Don't whine about stupid things. It's weird. D. Tennessee sucks at football

Ohio State goes because of the head to head. I'm not even sure if the "longest time since" rule exists anymore. Correct. If OSU wins out they go to the Rose Bowl. If Iowa wins out they go to the Rose Bowl or National Championship. Penn State needs to win out and have Iowa lose twice. Iowa goes if they win the two home games and OSU loses once. If Penn State beats OSU and OSU beats Iowa and Iowa wins the rest then Penn State and Iowa are co-champs with Iowa going to the Rose Bowl if I'm correct.

Ohio State goes because of the head to head. I'm not even sure if the "longest time since" rule exists anymore.

Why, you want to watch us beat down your conference again? :D

i had phio st losing to both penn st and iowa. i decided to stop picking against iowa after the wisconsin game, so i'm picking them to win out. but, i'm also picking texas and either bama or florida to win out, so that would put those teams in the "championship game" and iowa in the rose. i think the bcs shakes out with: 2 sec teams (this is basically a lock) 1 big east team (this is a lock) 1 acc team (also a lock) 1 big xii team (only way this gets messed up is if texas wins out during the regular season but loses to a big xii north team in the conference title game; texas could get selected at large) 1 pac 10 team (kind of a shame that the best conference gets only 1 bcs bid) boise st tcu 2 big ten teams (for this to happen, i think penn st or ohio st probably have to win out) -if texas loses in the big xii title game then it's either them or one of the big ten runners-up who gets left out. -if psu and osu each lose at least once more then i think there's a pretty good chance that the big ten only gets one bcs bid and a team like usc could still go. I don't really expect to ever see Iowa win at OSU in my lifetime so I'm expecting a loss.

Beat the piss out of OSU next week. Why? That only means you'll lose to a 3 loss team ;) That means we'll still go to the Rose Bowl though even with an OSU loss(if we beat Northwestern and Minnesota).

I've been focused on the college game all week but I for am now ready tomorrow. Let's beat Favre and Vikings.

I think Ohio State would go to the capital one bowl over Wisconsin. I see them losing to Penn State and beating Iowa with Iowa getting the Rose Bowl, Penn State getting the other BCS and Ohio State going to the capital one with Wiscy in the outback.

I think it's kind of traditional for a BCS school to travel to Hawaii to finish the year for both teams. It's also kind of traditional for that team to play like crap.

Put up 50.

What's funny is I think last years team might have been better than this one. They were just more unlucky.

Both those picks were right in front of me (I was in the second row and the picks were literally right there) and this is pretty much true. DJK was fairly open and the ball just hung up there.

So when is the last time USC got beat like this? Heck, when is the last time they lost by more than a touchdown.

Oregon would kill Iowa. Oregon and Texas are the two teams who would match up terrible with Iowa. I could see Iowa playing with and even beating Florida or Alabama but I don't like a match up with Oregon or Texas.

Tennesee's jerseys look odd.
