They're not getting in if they don't win the Big 10 title game, simple as that.

If they get to the Big Ten Championship and win then they are in. They must only have 1 loss though

Yes but they will lose by 50 if they make the B1GCG


Ohio State hasn't beaten anybody by 50 this year. They only beat Indiana and Northern Illinois by 7 and struggled to pull away from Va Tech and Maryland.

Iowa is currently up by 23 on the road against a top 25 team that beat Stanford.

You're clearly ignorant of anything that Iowa or OSU has done since their bowl games, so now would probably be a good time to exit the thread.

i think with 1 loss, they might be out, which is why i posed the question

1 loss sec champ
clemson/fsu
baylor/tcu
utah/stanford

things probably wont shake out that cleanly, but if they did, 12-1 big ten champ iowa is out. shite, there's a scenario where 13-0 big ten champ iowa might be out.

is an undefeated AAC champ in over 1 loss iowa?

Yeah, beating the crap out of NW now. Iowa's power running game, a QB that makes plays, and a hard hitting D they will match up with anybody.

I figured all you SECers would appreciate the way Iowa plays, especially how similar in style the are to LSU and Bama.

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.




Also, Iowa balled out

That was a statement game for Iowa. They could have easily punched it in again and won by 37. Two of their best players were out and they still throttled a ranked team on the road.

Iowa isn't as talented as OSU or Michigan, but anybody not taking the Hawkeyes seriously as a threat to win the Big Ten is blind.

I think they would get in over Stanford but stay behind everyone else on that list.

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


They play at worst equivalent schedules to Iowa.
