If Iowa were to lose to MSU in the ccg, OSU could (most likely would) be ranked higher than iowa. Why would the Rose take iowa over them? Their national fanbase eclipses iowa's, (and let's be real, OSU puts out a much better tv product than iowa). Vegas would probably put OSU at -6.5 in a head to head match up vs iowa, so why is everyone so confident iowa gets in over OSU?
Cab someone explain why Iowa over OSU in Rosebowl?
- Thread starter notlongago
- Start date
I wouldn't be surprised to see you in rose bowl after Iowa beats Msu. Iowa will be in cfb playoff while your make believe Iowa line dangles before an imaginary bookie.

Agreed. If we lose to MSU then we are going Peach/Fiesta.
That being said, I think we beat Sparty and head to the CFP.

Nah, they just said if we lose, we will most likely go to the Rose Bowl. Stop worrying and deal with it, Hawk fans. Thank you.
ROSE BOWL GAME PRESENTED BY NORTHWESTERN MUTUAL (Pasadena, Calif.)
1. When not hosting a semifinal, the Big Ten Champion will play in the Rose Bowl Game, unless among the top four teams.
2. If the Big Ten Champion qualifies for the playoff, the Rose Bowl Game will choose a replacement Big Ten team.
3. The Rose Bowl Game has sole discretion on a replacement team, and will generally select the highest‐rated available team, but will take into consideration final College Football Playoff rankings, head‐to‐head competition, division champions and most recent Rose Bowl Game appearances.

This is what seems obvious, but there must be more to it since many fans are confident iowa gets the nod over osu
I don't believe Iowa would be selected over OSU for the Rose Bowl. The only way would be if Iowa's loss to MSU was by fewer than OSU's, and if Barry and the boys ranked it that way. The only politics that would change this are in the selection committee room. That being said, barring a blowout loss to the spartans, Iowa has certainly done more to earn it than OSU, but they'll end up in a bowl with similar clout.
The one aspect I am not considering is within this made for TV event that the Rose might be willing to take a less sexy matchup with Iowa this year because the Pac 12 champ will be a 2 loss Stanford or in the event of a title game upset a dIsappointing USC with an interim head coach. This allows the committee to set up a very sexy Notre Dame v OSU somewhere else?
More importantly, when Iowa beats MSU, who goes to the Rose Bowl?
Go Hawks!15-0
