Alec James of Wisconsin

[Hawkeyeinsoutherncalifornia]

Not to kick up old dirt here but Alec James can lick his fingers (shown on BTN) and he gets no penalty for celebrating but Wadley gets a touchdown called back I still don’t get the BS that Wadley got for “High Stepping” into the end zone...

because bad officiating on the Wadley play.

Brace yourself for bad calls, no calls all day tomorrow. The officials may as well show up in alternate red and white striped uniforms instead of the traditional black and white because it will obvious what team their on.

If conference USA officials had been there ... they would have called it. I haven't seen many P5 officials call it (unless it was pretty egregious).

Little early for excuses, don't ya' think?

Excuses? You seriously believe the Big Ten office has no rooting interest in this game? Wisconsin is the conference's ONLY chance at the CFP. Based on history, I am certainly skeptical that Iowa will get a fair shake from the officials in Madison tomorrow.

A few well-timed "holding" calls on Iowa could have a huge impact on the outcome, and there's not a thing Iowa could do about it.

Most Big Ten fans know Wisconsin gets away with more holding than any team in the league already, so if Wisky's O-line gets to hold without penalty and Iowa gets bogus calls, well, wow....

And then what if Wisky's secondary gets away with holding Iowa's receivers and the refs swallow their whistle on a key pass interference or two?

Concerns about fair officiating tomorrow are all too real, I'm afraid.

I hope I'm wrong, and I hope the Hawkeyes can overcome whatever adversity they encounter. Most of all, I hope the striped shirts won't be the deciding factor.

At this point last week, Ohio State was the B1G's best chance for a playoff spot.

Refs called Ohio State for 9 penalties for 95 yards. Iowa was at 5 for 34 yards.

Calm down.

Agree with NorthDSMHawk. Somehow Iowa got a lot of home cooking for the OSU game, or maybe the referees just try to call the best game they can.

Seriously?,... Face it, Big Ten is not going to represent in the CFP this year.... Not gonna happen.

Was thinking the same thing, since the visiting team has won this matchup for most of the last decade.......
