With realignment if Iowa played Oregon, Washington, USC and UCLA, how many points would you expect them to give up total?

[ ] About 50

[ ] About 200?

The narrative about the "great D" in the Big 10 would evaporate from the face of the globe along with the flat earth theory. (Well there would be some holdouts, I guess, regarding both narratives. )

They have up 31 to Penn State but the d still played good

Other way around. Those pac12 offenses would be exposed for the mediocrities they are.

Good call. Michigan will get exposed.

I think the Michigan/Ohio State game comes down to what it did the last two years and it's why Michigan will win again.

Ohio State has no clear plan for 3rd and 3 or 4th and 2. Michigan knows exactly what it wants to do in those spots. Ohio State isn't built to grind out those yards, they couldn't convert through the air with CJ Stroud, I don't see why they can with Kyle McCord. Running straight ahead at Kris Jenkins, Mason Graham, Kenneth Grant just isn't an option.

I'm a bit worried about Michigan's passing game as it makes sense to me that Harbaugh is heavily involved in that aspect of design and play calling given Moore's background and other staff losses over the past year. But ultimately I just don't see the way that Ohio State gets over 24 points against this defense, and Michigan can get to 27.

They are 99% on ESPN's playoff predictor if they win out, so it seems extremely unlikely.

You could say "well Travis is injured, so they aren't as good", but they would have won a relatively tough rivalry game at the Swamp and then beat a top 10 in the ACCCG, which would show that they're still pretty good even with Rodemaker.

It'd be easier to leave them out if Travis had gone down in the ACCCG imo b/c then you could more easily make the case that they could suck minus Travis.

Sports betting is impossible. I'll be perfectly content to go 1-6 tomorrow if you catch my drift.

Can't believe this is even a discussion. I get that technically it's an invitational not a playoff but still.

Agree. Ohio State can't win this game but Moore can lose it. That's what keeps me up at night.

Since 2000, the highest win total for a team that averaged under 250 yards per game was 4. Iowa's currently averaging like 246.5 and has 9 wins.

They've already got 207 yards early in the 3rd though, so threatening to break the 250 plateau.

that sure was a field goal attempt by corn

Of all Iowa games, this is the Charlie Browniest.

Nothing like going conservative to set up a 44 yard FG into the wind with a kicker who is like 8/14

Earlier in the game, Iowa had a 1st and goal from the 10 and ran it straight up the middle for no gain 3 times.

This is a game only the "Punts" sweatshirt guys could enjoy.

Bro, trust your defense.

Nebraska burnt their last timeout with the ball to avoid a delay of game with 23 seconds left in the game. Corn, you deserve this.

Iowa only had about 50 yards in the 2nd half to end on 257, so for now they'll still be under 250 and now with 10! wins

Gotta love two turnovers in the final minute of a tied game

Iowa football is inevitable.

wish iowa somehow had only 1 loss

Ferentz should win B1G coach of the year and I'm being dead serious. They're not giving it to Harbaugh for obvious reasons. They're not gonna give it to Day after their season is rendered a total failure tomorrow. So who else is there. It's really between the Northwestern guy and Ferentz. Going 10-2, winning the B1G West division, after losing your starting QB, other key injuries at TE, losing arguably the best defender in the B1G in Cooper Dejean, having a crooked ref steal a game from you, and your OC gets fired in the middle of the season. My god. You gotta give Ferentz the prize here.

It should only be one loss. They were a victim of a very bad call vs Minnesota

We’d know more if PAC12 didn’t play their cupcake OOC but USC got manhandled and held to their lowest point total 20 by Notre Dame

Do you know what the difference between corn nuts and deer nuts are?

Kinda goes without saying, but still: LOL Sparty
