No, this isn't a real thing, but how are they not a lock for the big ten championship at this point?

The rest of the schedule is cake, but they could slip up. if they are 11-1 going into the big 10 title game, are they in the playoff if they get to 12-1? would presumably be a pretty big win over ohio state, michigan, or michigan state.

do they have to go undefeated? does anyone give them a shot at winning the big 10?

I think they need to win out

There is a good chance that if they go 12-0, none of those wins will be over ranked teams.

Touchdown Northwestern

One score game in the 2nd quarter and you're talking about Iowa running the table

i agree. they aren't very good. they still have a great chance to be 11-1 or 12-0 going into the big ten championship. if they win that, are they in?

Its only fair this year to give the big10 the same cred as the sec has been getting. One loss is obviously in. And depending on how it plays out, two losses might still be deserving.

in all seriousness, if one of these 3 AAC teams (houston, temple, memphis) went undefeated, would they be in?

Don't worry about it.

Kirk Ferentz is their coach.

Are these the mythical national championship quarter finals, or did they change the format for this season?

I would be stoked to see Iowa make it to the playoff SEMI finals, used to live in Iowa City, great football city and great city in general, but they suck and it definitely won't happen, apart from that, I love it.

these are the mythical playoff quarterfinals.

sec championship is probably 1
tcu-baylor is probably 1
big ten championship could be 1 with an undefeated or 11-1 iowa
pac 12 championship could be 1
clemson-florida state could be 1

yes, i realize that's 5, but things will shake out and make one of the games i listed not as relevant. my guess is the pac 12 championship.

Iowa is likely to blow a game. Beathard is either hot or cold, no in between. They lost their best DL for the season last week. Their RB who's been putting up insane numbers the last couple weeks got hurt in the 1st qtr today, although it seems like next man up because the back up has looked good.

But this is the easily the best Iowa team since they won the Orange Bowl in 2009.
