It appears IOWA might remain in BCS TOP TEN

[Fishhead]

Lots of teams losing

[mmike032]

[Fishhead]

USC lost to WASH and was ranked #4 in the Coaches poll, .......................I guess this is the time for Iowa to use their mulligan so they can remain in the title picture.

A win next week at OHIO STATE would be big and could possibly propel them right back into the top six in the BCS..............who could of thunk?????

[Fishhead]

However, i believe iowa will lose by 14+ pts at ohio state!!

Good Call Fishhead. You are right on here.

I doubt Iowa sill stay in the Top Ten though, b/c people have been waiting to drop them for weeks now. Coaches & AP polls will bury them.

Lots of teams losing........if LSU and GT lose, Iowa might remain in top ten.

[ronjon619]

not gonna happen. Hawks have been dodging bullets all year long. It was a nice run.

[3PtShooter]

if iowa qb dont play might be a long day for iowa

[WileOut]

You shouldn't get a mulligan in the Big 10. Just my opinion. Alabama would beat Northwestern by 45 points, at Northwestern, 99 times out of 100.

Thank you. The Big Ten is garbage. now that Iowas lost, and Ohio St. won on the same day people will think Ohio St is good. They suck too.

Top to bottom, the #1 conference.

A great team like Iowa will not even win the conference, and may finish 3rd.......nuff said.

They aren't the top conference, they aren't markedly better than any BCS conference.

You are delusional Fish. Did you see the ALA/LSU game? Those players are much bigger, faster, and stronger. They had NFL players on the field in that game. Big Ten lacks that across the board. If you disagree you have sealed the deal as a Big Ten homer that lacks objectivity.

Whoever makes it to the BCS game out of the Big Ten will get crushed like they have for the past few years. When the bowl games are played you will be sucked back into reality.

I agree, the talent is better in the SEC, but I can't stand watching SEC football. QB play is embarrassingly bad in that conference, it's pretty uninteresting.

I'd much rather watch a Big 12, Pac 10, or Big East game.

Very True.

I guess the biggest difference is the talent on Defense. Most teams in the SEC are stacked on D.

SEC football is still very intriguing too me cuz of the talent on the field, but I see your point. QB play is avg at best. Ryan Mallet is the best in conference,

[tripp]

iowa will play in a nice bowl game, but won't even be a BCS bowl game. Ohio st wins the B10 and goes to the Rose Bowl vs Oregon

Iowa will probably end up in the Capital One Bowl and lose.

Iowa ALONE has produced an Outland Trophy winner, a John Mackey Award winner, a Lou Groza award winner, and the Walter Camp award winner in college football since 2003.............Robert Gallery, Dallas Clark, Nate Kaeding, and Shonn Greene.

......plus the NFL's defensive player of the year in Bob Sanders.


Your right, the Big Ten produces nothing..........pleeeez.

[HoulihansTX]

Oh yeah and the Big Ten produced the Heisman winner Troy Smith. He is real good in the pros.

All of those players look good against each other in the Big Ten, but let them play the SEC once in a while. Those guys will look avg.

But I applaud Iowa on their award winners. Even though their stats were padded against other weak Big Ten teams.

Not to take anything away from the SEC, just personal preference.

[itchypickle]

I seem to remember the hype of the Big Ten and Ohio State against the SEC in recent BCS Championships....do we really have to bring up how THAT went....and ask the Sooners about last year while you're at it. For the time being....Big 12 and SEC are playing at a different level than the Big Ten who also have the luxury of a week off with no conference championship game while Big 12 SEC and ACC settle it on the field.

Dallas Clark is the best TE in the NFL........Nate Kaeding could be considered the best kicker in the NFL........and Bob Sanders was a defensive player of the year in the sNFL.....former Hawkeye Aaron Kampman led the NFL sacks a couple years ago I believe.

Not saying that many SEC schools don't produce great NFL stars, but your unappreciation of the Big Ten and the talent is jagged..............BUT IN THE PAST 10 YEARS OR LESS, THE SEC HAS BEEN THE BEST CFB CONFERENCE WITHOUT QUESTION............

[BigdaddyQH]

Iowa is going to get it kicked out of them by Ohio State. It will be a 2 loss Pac 10 team vs a 2 loss Ohio State team in the Rose Bowl more than likely. The Big 10 can probaby say goodbye to a 2nd BCS team. Penn State is out. USC defeated Ohio State.

[tblues2005]

I think Fishhead is right Iowa gets clobbered by Ohio State by more than 14 next week. Ohio is only going to be favored by maybe 7 or 8 I think.

[tblues2005]

BigDaddy is right on that. The Big Ten is pretty weak.

IOWA will probably end up in the OUTBACK or CAPITAL ONE bowl, and defeat their 4th SEC team of the decade in a bowl game.

I think Fishhead is right Iowa gets clobbered by Ohio State by more than 14 next week. Ohio is only going to be favored by maybe 7 or 8 I think.

If Stanzi is ruled out, OSU will be favored by 11 or more easily.........if not, pound the Buckeyes.

[tblues2005]

Fishhead it depends who they get. If they get someone weak your probably correct.

[tblues2005]

Thanks Fishhead if they are not double digits next week just pound Ohio State next week. It is almost money in the bank.

The thing is, this is just the type of game where Iowa steps it up and plays FERENTZ BALL and pulls the upset.

Iowa loves the underdog role, for whatever reason.

Lets just drop it, cuz we actually agree more than we think.

[jjgold]

Fishler after Iowa gets crushed next week they will be in the bluebonnet bowl on new years eve.

[Fishhead]

Lets just drop it, cuz we actually agree more than we think.

Joe Paterno once said he voted every year for Hayden Fry at Iowa as coach of the year stating that he had 77 million people within 100 miles of Happy Valley and the entire state of Iowa only had 2.8 million..............

LMFAO.

This is waht I'm talking about. I bet Iowa gets a really favorable line. Ohio State still sucks, just how the events lined up today people are making them the BIg Ten leader. False. Really even throughout the whole conference. Not much separation.
