I know we have to win anyway.

But I just saw a projection on ESPN that Michigan State will be 4 and we will be 5 in tomorrow's CFP rankings. Does it matter?
 
No.

Iowa win and we're in.
Iowa lose and we're out.

I don't think they will jump us as the committee will just be ready to let it play out. However, I would not be surprised if they did jump us, as we have been getting zero respect all year. Does it matter if we're four or five, no, just adds to the insult against Iowa if dropped. To me, I don't care, just another game we weren't supposed to win. 12-0

GO HAWKS
 
Not that it matter but since Iowa beat Nebraska and MSU didn't I think Iowa gets the nod for the #4 spot.

That would piss me off even though it adds more fuel to the fire. Those other teams lost to whimps. What's the point in playing a season of football if they aren't gonna count them shitty losses.
 
They might, but at this point it does not matter who is #4 and who is #5. As has been said many times, the B1G championship game is essentially a play-in game for the CFP.

If that happens the CFP doesn't pass my eye test...

ESPN trying to rile Iowa fans some more?

When Iowa wins Saturday it won't matter. Go Hawks!
 
I hope they do! I don't want Dantonio playing that underdog card. I'd rather we be the underdog. Vegas has MSU -4.5 last I checked. We've been getting bashed by the media for quite a while now. Everything is playing into our hands. I've been pouring over every stat out there on Iowa-MSU, and we match up even in just about every category. He have the advantage in one though, Special Teams! If can win the battle of field position and cash in, we will win this game. I hope we get the ball first so that even if we don't score first, maybe we can give them a long field to play on for every possession. Just take of the ball and win the time of possession and field position, we WIN!

Seems like if they move us past Iowa they are over thinking things. In fact if they change the top 5 at all they are changing thing just for the sake of changing.
 
Doesn't really matter a whole lot either way, but I do hope they pass us. Give us one more thing to get fired up about.
 
Would not be shocked if the mighty Ohio State Buckeyes pass us as well. Again, not that it matters.
 
If Michigan St passes Iowa, then the committee mine as well put Oklahoma #1, Alabama #2, and Clemson #3 just to make all the talking heads happy for 1 week that they were able to not show Iowa in the top 4.
