Who do you want to win in the BT Championship Game and Why?

I'll say it. I am jealous of wisky. They do what Iowa does and have done it better recently. But have to pull for wisky here because it guarantees OSU will not be in the playoffs and also helps to ensure we don't have two SEC teams.
All that being said I personally think Wisconsin is the best team from the BIG and would represent the conference the best. Would like to see a legit BIG defense in the playoffs.

I want Wisconsin partly because Iowa can take credit for turning their program around with all of Fry's assistants. The last thing I want to see is tO$U backing in with 2 losses. Wisconsin is better than O$U anyway. 27 -17 Badgers.
UW win is better for the league. It is important that the Big Ten have a team in the final four. I don't think OSU has a reasonable shot with a win and that is Iowa's fault.
OMG seriously any Iowa fan that wants whisky doesn’t understand situational awareness. They are the enemy. Their success is directly correlational to Iowa’s lack of success. Think market share people. Do I (we) really have to explain this. I live in Becky country and trust me there is not 1 Becky fan that would cheer for Iowa under any circumstances. Those on this board siding w/ Becky are CLUELESS!!!
So you think if Wisky loses to tO$U, Iowa goes north and snags a bunch of 4 - 5 stars from Wisconsin who change their minds because of the loss?
The Big Ten West needs street cred. As much as we may not like it we swallow hard and root for Wisconsin.
Again.... sigh, go back to working on your “ Jump To Conclusion Mat” and leave the we should root for Becky concept in the vault.
I don't accept your premise - I don't think it is supportable.
I know a number of Badger fans in Wisconsin and other states that respect Iowa and are comfortable pulling for them with exception to head to head meetings.
I spent some time living in the Libertyville area and it is definitely not Badger country.
BTW,if you are referring to Wisconsin as Becky to their face, I can fully understand why you don't think any Badger fan would cheer for Iowa under any circumstance.
Spent “some time” living in the Libertyville area...? Uh huh sure you did. I’m 15 min from the whiskey border. Whatever dude.
Unfortunately a bunch of Hawk fans not understanding the reality outside of Iowa. Not including y’all w/ a shred of situational awareness.
Will back Wisconsin. Super-honest coach, one of the top academic schools in the BIG, and they represent our conference.
I'll root for Wisconsin, mostly because I'm tired of OSU. Whomever wins I hope they go to the national championship and win it, (not a given). I root for the B1G because it is our conference. I also hate the Big XII, ACC and SEC, so go B1G.
So sick of Ohio State. I'd like to see someone else represent the Big Ten for a change. Wisconsin runs a good clean program. I'd love to see them force the committees hand after all these weeks of being an undefeated P5 team left out of the picture.
Don’t like either team, but I’m sure if I watch I’ll find myself rooting for Wisconsin. Side benefit would be a Wisconsin win is part of keeping Bama out of CFP, and consequently enhances our chances of no worse than Music City Bowl...
Won’t do full analysis until after Tuesday night, but OSU, PSU, and Wisc all look pretty solid for NY6 bowls no matter who wins in Indy. So the key to eliminating Pinstripe from consideration is all of those three going to NY6 other than Orange Bowl. A 11-1 Alabama team that doesn’t make the CFP is a virtual lock for the Orange Bowl as the highest ranked non-champ from B1G and SEC. As long as Big Ten is not in Orange, we keep our Citrus Bid too (for MSU probably)

I would like to see Wisconsin win the B1G. Would like to see how their D stacks up in the playoffs.
No offense, but I think you're off base here. I obviously can't speak for all Badger fans but I'd suspect a large majority pulling for Iowa over Ohio State in a B1G Championship game scenario. Urban Meyer, F that guy.
Like others have said, UW/Iowa are similar programs in many respects, who do things the right way.
I'd root for Wisky if I wasn't a Hawk for the following reasons...
I don't want any success for either team. Since both options are bad, I fall on Wisc's side. It's an absolute crime that an undefeated B1G team is ranked below a team with two losses. So I want Wisc to prove everyone wrong and win the whole darn thing. Not for their sake, but for honor's sake. That and I don't want the committee to have any chance of forcing Ohio State in just because they like them. They don't deserve in and should lose. And if they don't force OSU in, they'll screw the B1G completely and put in two from the lofty SEC, even though one of those teams didn't even win their own division and played a pretty bland schedule.
On Wisconsin this time. Afraid we could be left out of playoffs if they don't win. We could very well see two SEC teams...
I really don't like either team at all but I am pulling for Wisconsin because I'd like a B10 team in the CFP. It's not a given that OSU goes if they win. Also a Wsiconsin win would most likely shut out Bama from getting in and I'd like to see that.
Current Line: OSU -6.0
Current O/U: 51
Wisconsin is not even getting respect from Vegas.
Are we looking at a 28-22 type Ohio State win?
