South Dakota State is a pretty good team moron. Tell me you know nothing about football without telling me you know nothing about football.

At the end of the day they are an fcs program. They are decent and if you watched that game you'd know it was closer than the final score. Point still stands that the argument is you basing it on northwestern beating Penn state

From the likes of the first game Iowa has played they looked like men amongst pee wee football… I don’t care if the played the Sisters of the Poor … they did what they wanted to do with ease

SDS probably beats Marshall too. So I guess we'll just have to wait for that Friday night in Evanston.

Love the take but got a lot of football to play. Wisconsin looks like they’re gonna be a tough out this year after watching them play the first half vs ND. Washington will be too but they didn’t look that great vs Washington State. Ohio State is still the same. Michigan will be tough but they def didn’t look good. Hopefully he’s wrong about Iowas QB play…..but if Iowa can win 2 out of 4 of those games previously mentioned and not trip up anywhere else I think we got a good shot at making somewhere between 8-10 spots.

Some non-emotional, common sense discussion about the rivalry win and that we will know a lot more about Iowa's playoff chances after Michigan, Ohio State and Washington.

At this point it looks like OSU is the BIG bell cow for playoffs.
After buckeyes,it is wide open.
That could change as soon as this weekend.
USC vs Oregon...winner is viable.
Iowa vs Mich...winner joins OSU as a possible playoff contender.
PSU is almost a lock for playoffs with pillowy schedule.
IU looks vulnerable.
If BIG is going to extend their title run, OSU is the only chance,imo.

Was discussing this with someone. Say Ohio State beats Iowa and then both end up in BTCG. What incentive is there to even play it for either team if both headed to CFP? Maybe if Iowa would get a home date with a win or a bye I guess. Conference titles kinda meaningless at this point other than CFP positioning.

Within the discussions of a possible 24 team playoff, aren't they considering eliminating conference championship games?

The entire reason they want to go to 24 teams is because they want to eliminate conference championship games, but they want to make the same amount of money. SEC is the only holdout because they want to keep the conference championship games. But they seem to be realizing that’s a losing battle.

It’d be hard to believe if Iowa went 11-1 with their one loss being to OSU that they wouldn’t make it to the playoff. 75% seems incredibly low. This board would have a **** fit and rightfully so.

Yeah. 11-1 is in. This board would have a **** fit if they don't make it in at 10-2 (or 10-3 after the BTCG).
