Iowa may be 7-0 and up 24-7 but they are not

[Duckshit]

Next Level.....looking to fade them soon.

Duck poop has spoken!

Duckles nobody knows yet

Well coached

underrated

[Seattle Slew]

Look at who the have left, Indiana, Minnesota, Purdue and Nebraska. They should finish 12-0.

They don't play Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State, or Wisconsin.

They'll be at least 14-point dogs vs Ohio State/MSU or Michigan in the Big Ten title game.

Who makes the Title game if Ohio St beats Michigan St and Michigan beats Ohio St next week?

[Duckshit]

If they keep winning, I see them more as 7 point dogs for the Big Ten.......I'll be fading.

won't happen but whatever they tie breaker would be after conference record.

[daneblazer]

Most of the women from places like Iowa, Nebraska, & Wisconsin are 5'11 185 with low body fat percentages and huge hips for breeding. That's why so many of these schools have great linemen and running games

[Mac4Lyfe]

Iowa's schedule is worst than what Boise State use to have... At least BSU would play a quality team to start the season. Is Iowa playing anyone in the top 50??? Horseshit.

Sat, Sep 5	vs	Illinois State	W 14 - 31	Final
Sat, Sep 12	@	Iowa State	W 31 - 17	Final

Sat, Nov 21	vs	Purdue		TBD
Fri, Nov 27	@	Nebraska		TBD

Even if Iowa, somehow beats Ohio State or MSU and goes undefeated, no way in hell should they get in with this shit schedule. Memphis and Houston both have a much better argument.

They play in the same division as Wisconsin. They won at Camp Randall.

[CubsFan1908]

Iowa's schedule sucks. But in the public eye they get discredited because they don't kill teams. They don't kill teams because they control the ball and wear the other team out.

[Mac4Lyfe]

They are playing against shitty teams. They should control Illinois, Illinois State, Purdon't, Northwestern, etc. Them not killing bad teams is more of an indictment on Iowa.

5. The highest ranked team in the first College Football Playoff poll following the completion of Big Ten regular season conference play shall be the representative in the Big Ten Championship Game, unless the two highest ranked tied teams are ranked within one spot of each other in the College Football Playoff poll. In this case, the head-to-head results of the top two ranked tied teams shall determine the representative in the Big Ten Championship Game.

[CubsFan1908]

Them not killing bad teams is because they run the ball and control the clock. 2 touchdown leads for Iowa is tougher to overcome against them than against a team who plays a fast paced offense.

[MUHerd37]

They are not near as good as their record indicates. And as it's already been said, they have played nobody.

[daneblazer]

Wow that's a bad schedule. Problem is there's about 8 ass sorry teams in the big 10 that make teams like Penn state and Iowa appear better than they are. Bringing in Maryland and Rutgers only further dilluded their product. Should have just kept the leaders and legends division or whatever the fukk they were and kept Ohio State separate from the Michigan schools.

[jjgold]

Rutgers does not belong in the big ten

overmatched

[kyhawk]

Let's go Hawks!!! This could be our year. I've followed them to games in Miami, LA and Orlando. Long time suffering fan, over 30 years. F U haters.

[Seattle Slew]

Right, my mistake. Not that Wisconsin any good either.

Big 10 needs to have 9 league games.

They play in the same division as Wisconsin. They won at Camp Randall.

[BigdaddyQH]

The winner of the Ohio State-Michigan State game will go to the CC Game. Michigan has one more loss than those two and will finish lower in the poll than the winner of the Ohio State-Michigan State game.

Iowa will not win the Big 10. Even with their candy coated schedule, they still may not even be undefeated headed into the CC game. Ferentz is famous for winning when he should be losing, and losing when he should win.

[jjgold]

For all we know Iowa could be in the national championship game again nobody has any proven track record here of consistently predicting anything

So the Ohio St - Michigan game is meaningless because Michigan lost to Utah, right?

[Otters27]

What is the line for @Ind next week. I would say that is going to be a good spot to take the Hoosiers

[TheHumanTripod]

No Iowa fan came into the season thinking they'd be were we are. Their just happy to finally have a teams that relevant. Give them some credit for going undefeated so far, not like anyone in Iowa thinks we have a realistic chance or should be a top team.

[Mac4Lyfe]

I'm not hating. I'm an Iowa and Ferentz fan BUT that schedule is dog shit. Look at it? Can you honestly say with a straight face that they deserve national title consideration with a horse shit schedule like that? If they go undefeated, I would say they should make a New Years bowl, which is fantastic, but not the 4 team playoff. You can't bastardize the system by not playing anyone in your OOC, especially when you know the B10 is down. I would take a bunch of other teams with 1 loss over Iowa being undefeated, playing a bad schedule. Same goes for Houston if they win out. You have to play a legit schedule. Memphis' schedule isn't the best either BUT they at least beat Ole Miss that could potentially win the SEC. If OM wins out, then Memphis should get in over them.

You are in the minority. I know several Iowa fans that think they should be in the playoff if they win out.

[Ralphie Halves]

Chance they lose one of those next 4 candy games: -250

Good to see this for coach Ferentz though. Iowa won't see a coach of that caliber again for a long long time.

They already beat Wisconsin, at Wisconsin.

[BigdaddyQH]

Basically yes. If Ohio State defeats Michigan State in Columbus (MSU is 9-2 ATS in their last 11 in Columbus), then Ohio State will go to the CC game. The Big 10 still has 3 undefeated teams left, but all three have a good chance of losing one game down the road.

While I agree with your sentiment, by the same reasoning Ohio St. probably shouldn't have got in last year. Weak OOC (with a loss), average conference, etc. Not saying I think Iowa should/shouldn't get in. I don't think they have a chance in hell, but stranger things have happened.

It's not even about that. The Big Ten moved east for more exposure. Not because they thought Rutgers would be competitive.

Surely you jest.
