Iowa WILL be in Rose Bowl

[FloridaHawk82]

I HAVE to believe that Common Sense will prevail. The CFP committee will consider that MSU's D took it hard to both Iowa and tOSU, but will also consider:

1. tOSU was held to 132 yards, at HOME, and MSU was WITHOUT Connor Cook.
2. Iowa was held to 268 yards, on a neutral field, and MSU had Cook.
3. Iowa won their conference division, tOSU did not, and Iowa had to play one more game than tOSU, and won't be punished for losing this extra game, ESPECIALLY when it literally could have went either way up until the final seconds.

4. B1G/Delaney have flexed their muscle, B1G Network analysts IMMEDIATELY started lobbying for Iowa in Rose, MSU fans are voicing loud and clear that Iowa deserves the Rose, most tOSU fans are saying they HOPE they get the Rose, Fiesta SO wants tOSU/ND, Rose will want Iowa/Stanford after seeing last night's game.

5. Especially after last year, the CFP knows they won't get questioned much at all for putting Iowa over tOSU, but KNOW they will get torched and questioned nationally and loudly if they drop Iowa below tOSU.

6. CFP Committee ex coaches Alvarez/Osborne/Johnson will have strong pull for the above factors


Book it:

ROSE: Stanford/Iowa
FIESTA: tOSU/ND

Can Iowa beat Stanford? I think yes

If the committee looks at all the facts, and corporate America doesn't get in the way, this is what will happen.

From a reliable source we are definitely going to the Rose

Corporate America wants OSU/ND in the Fiesta Bowl. A ratings bonanza. If corporate America gets its way, Iowa will go to the Rose Bowl.

If we end up in the Peach it may be the least attended Iowa bowl game ever. It makes no sense. Very few alums in Atlanta and a match up of a high teens Houston to 5,6,7 Iowa...why? If not the Rose, Fiesta makes a lot of sense. Lots of alums in Phoenix plus all of the southwestern US alums of which there are many can easily attend. I do think an Iowa vs. ND game would generate a lot of media attention and viewership. Lastly I think Houston fans would love to play FSU as a more regionally interesting game.

Hope you're right...want to see Iowa in the Rose Bowl. Great game last night between two tough teams. As an alum of MSU, now that the game is over, I say Go Hawks.

I believe it will be Iowa - Stanford in the Rose and OSU - ND in the Fiesta.

I hope MSU stifles their opponents as they did us and OSU. Big Ten honors and it makes us look good.
