Iowa vs Michigan. Alternate game vs BIG championship.

I wonder what your CF posts like ratio is to all the Hawk Homer sites you are on Jade.
Will there be any other team in the entire country besides Iowa that will only have played one team with a winning record (and lost that game of course).
I'm going to assume we play a team with a winning record in the bowl game.
Ouch. The Big10 has handled this about as badly as possible. Even switching around the schedule wasn't enough to get playable games.
Unless of course...they knew this was going to happen when they put tOSU in the CCG.
Rutgers an Maryland getting two and three wins while NOT playing any OOC games should show how bad the big 10 is this year.
The Big10 has one good team and one mediocre team (NW). The rest are just levels of bad that can rack up wins based on how terrible their schedule is.
I think the Purdue - Indiana and the OSU things are unrelated. OSU is because the Big 10 is going to do everything to get a team into the playoffs. I disagree with it but whatever. I still think Purdue - Indiana was at least partly due to the rivalry. Since it now sounds like both Purdue and Indiana were dealing with Covid, it makes even more sense to put them together. No reason to cancel two games when you can just cancel one
IU-PU have canceled again. What a **** show.
Dec. 18 Bucket Game Canceled
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – In coordination with the Big Ten Conference office, Purdue and Indiana jointly announce that their scheduled football game in Bloomington on Friday will be canceled due to COVID-19 testing results at both schools.
Ferentz has done a nice job with the Hawks this year. Despite all the allegations, he has kept the team focused. No doubt the Hawks have benefited from a very weak schedule (again)...but he has the team playing as the best of the weak...which will probably result in a large bonus for himself and his beloved son Brian.
Somehow we need their defensive coach to find another job (Parker). He is the main reason for their success year in and year out.

Iowa now has an even slimmer chance at the NY6 now. Before all of this, I was counting on Iowa beating Indiana and taking their spot in the NY6 bowl. Iowa still has a shot at a NY6, but it just got harder.
Still hoping for an Iowa/ISU Cotton Bowl. That would be epic.
Hindsight speaking here.
The other way to look at it is they knew IU and PU had a rivalry game cancelled and they wanted them to play that. Also, both programs had known Covid issues so you only lose one game on the schedule if their issues continue in to this week.. If IU was scheduled to play Iowa and PU was matched up with Rutgers or PSU the conference would already be out 2 of the 7 games this weekend.
Michigan is considered to be a great team according to sports writers. I think they will probably be ranked to start next season. They could go 0-12 one year and receive votes the next. They are always over hyped and teams get a boost for playing them even when they aren’t good.
I don't think another win against a losing team gains them three or four spots. Even at 15, they are over-rated. Michigan probably wins anyway.
Please NO. The cotton bowl will have fans and 1) I don’t care to hang around Iowa fans at a bowl. I can do that here if I want. 2). When we win I don’t care to have things, like cups of urine, thrown on me by their fans.
Michigan has Covid trouble. If UI and PU were out together because of Covid cases, why was Iowa and Mich put together then.
