So I was thinking of big Iowa games

And I can only think of '85 Michigan game that will be as big for Iowa as Nebby on Friday.
Others?

Orange Bowl vs USC was big. Unfortunately we got crushed in the 2nd half. The Rose Bowl vs UCLA following the '85 season. They still had a shot at the National Title if they had won.

The only games that I can think of that were this big are..

1991 Ohio State
2002 Michigan
2002 USC
2009 Ohio State

2015 in Indy vs B1G East

Say what to the OP? There have been plenty-- I'd go so far to say Wisconsin and the B1G championship game this year were/are bigger.

And the Orange Bowls.

1. Iowa vs. Michigan 1985 (#1 vs. #2
2. Iowa vs. Nebraska 2015 (So much is riding on it)
3. Iowa vs. Michigan 1991 (We got rolled in a surprising home defeat but still went 10-1).
4. Iowa vs. Ohio State 1983 (#7 beats #3 and proved Iowa was here to stay).
