I will put any amount of money you would like that we are not in the peach bowl. Care to bet and exchange info?
Iowa vs Notre Dame in the Fiesta bowl? Any chance of this?
How do you "earn" something by losing?
What they "earned" is losing control of their destiny and putting it in the committee's hands.
You sure about that. After losing by 3 nothing given that we drop below OSU. Plus even if Iowa is a spot below them doesn't mean they HAVE to take them.
Who said that?
Unless it was Delany or the Rose chairman, it's kind of stupid to get worked up about it.
There is NO WAY......NOOOOOO WAYYYY that Iowa is dropping to the Peach. Even if by some weird stroke of unfortunate luck the Rose wants to take tOSU the Fiesta will snap us up right away. I would rather take on Stanford and blast them in Pasadena, but if we end up taking on ND in the Fiesta that'd be OK as well. Either way the Peach Bowl is OFF THE TABLE.
The Rose chairman gave an interview saying that they would take the highest ranked teams. No ifs, ands or buts. Said they will respect the committee's opinion.
There is no "dropping" or "snapping", you idiot. The bowls don't pick the teams. Fiesta and Peach are equal in the committee's eyes, and they decide.
Actually there are some ifs ands or buts...as I said not 100% given take highest ranked team no ?s asked.

The Rose gets to pick the MSU replacement; not the committee. They have said they will likely go with the higher ranked team, but not necessarily.
Wrong, Idiot. The Rose gets to select who they want, even though they highly stress ranking.
The guy said over and over that they would take the highest ranked team. Went out of his way to say that the committee knows more about football than the Rose selection group.
OSU has only played in 2 Rose Bowls in the last 30 years. It's not like they go all the time and we haven't. Iowa has played in just as many Rose Bowls since 1985 as OSU has.

If you don't play everybody (in this case anybody) you can't claim that you are better than them. Would have been interesting to see how this team matched up with PSU, OSU, MICH, since we know how they match up against MSU.
"in choosing the pairings for the four non-playoff bowls, the committee tries to create "the most compelling matchups possible", while taking into account geography and team rematches from both the regular season and recent bowls."
The Hawks will provide a MUCH more compelling matchup in the Rose or Fiesta over the Peach.. So you can shut the hell up about Atlanta because Iowa isn't going there you moron.
Rose vs Stanford (should be)
Or
Fiesta vs ND
Those are the two likely scenarios

She obviously knows nothing about Princess Peach. Everyone knows Peach wears a dress. J/K, that is pretty nice.you don't like peaches?
The only things I am certain of after reading this thread is that hawks_45 is potty mouth little 10 year old who's gonna get taken out back the woodshed when his dad figures out he was on the PC. Surprised someone so articulate has so much trouble reading plain English.
This thread should be moved over to either the Houston or FSU boards because THOSE are the teams heading to Atlanta. IOWA IS IN THE ROSE!!!!
