    There are only 2 bowls the Big Ten and Big 12 match up. The Insight and Texas, the Alamo is now Big 12 v. Pac 12.

    B12 Final Standings - My Bowl Thoughts

    It is all about the money and if Michigan beats Ohio St this week to finish 10-2 they will be ranked in the top 14 to qualify for an at large bid and you are crazy if you don't think a BCS bowl would pick Michigan and all the fans they would bring. In fact I would say K-State could be rated...

    Iowa proj. in a Pre-Christmas day Bowl game ...Lol

    This would make more sense if these were the bowl games Iowa was going to, but it isn't. They are going to the Cap One, Outback and Orange Bowls which have always been played in January.

    The best part about all this......

    It was a great win for the program last night, but let's not get carried away. ISU is going to have to win more than 1 big game a year, some of you forget that coming into this year Iowa had beaten a top 5 team 3 consecutive years. So for ISU to swing this around will take more than 1 huge win...

    2012 Iowa Football offense

    Honestly losing Reiff isn't going to hurt that bad, but like split said, the offense won't be the problem next year, the DL is losing all 4 guys again and will need rebuilt.

    Iowa proj. in a Pre-Christmas day Bowl game ...Lol

    Yeah that projection was before Iowa just got their 7th win today. They will end up in the Insight, Gator or Texas Bowl.

    BOWL GAME

    Iowa already has 6 wins and the rule about a 7-5 team being picked before a 6-6 team is no longer around. So even if they do lose the last two a 6-6 Iowa will get selected before a 7-5 Illinois, 6-6 Purdue, or 6-6 Northwestern.

    BOWL GAME

    I agree, this might be a perfect storm for this to happen this year, I don't think it will be the Insight though, but the Texas Bowl is a strong possibility for this. I can't imagine their TV draw is that great in the first place and like I said the impact on the Houston economy would be...

    BOWL GAME

    Anyone think the Texas Bowl or Insight Bowl would want an Iowa/ISU rematch? Sure it wouldn't be a big TV draw and that is part of the equation when selecting teams, but the impact it would have on the local economy could be offset by the lack of the TV draw. The game would sell out within...

    Nice Win!

    Good job tonight. Now there is a chance Iowa and ISU could play again in the TicketCity bowl.

    OSU TV Coverage

    The ESPN Friday night announcers are Joe Tessitore and Rod Gilmore. I'm not sure who is on the sidelines if anyone.

    1999-2000 Elite 8 Team

    Exactly there is a ton of season left, however this team doesn't have a true PG like that team had with Tinsley and that will be a huge problem going forward. And for the record I still think ISU beats Iowa at Hilton but it might be closer then I first thought.

    Wins over Iowa and Texas Tech....

    Just like how Nebraska was going to come in and dominate.

    Okie st could 50pt Tech by halftime. ouch

    Unless it snows or is in the 20's to teens, I highly doubt 40 degree temps is going to be a deciding factor in this game.

    News: UI played a ranked opponent

    Yeah because using the link I provided it took me all of 5 minutes to figure it all out.

    Iowa Basketball

    I agree with the OP that Iowa is going to better then people think, but let's not get too carried away. I honestly think the best high school team in the country (not Iowa) could hang (not beat) with Chicago St, they are pretty bad. On the other hand it was the perfect season opening opponent...

    News: UI played a ranked opponent

    LMAO!!! How about we keep going back until the Big 12 does have a sizable advantage in wins to prove your point. And just for the hell of it, I went back 14 years like you wanted. Guess what the Big 12 was 3-4 against the Big Ten in 1998 and 1999 putting the totals over 14 years at 31-27 in...

    News: UI played a ranked opponent

    Want to try again and claim a sizable ADVANTAGE in wins/losses? The last 10 years the Big 12 is 23-19 against the Big Ten. ISU: 5-6 Kansas: 0-2 K State: 0-1 Missouri: 7-2 with most if not all wins coming against Illinois Nebraska: 3-1 Colorado: 0-1 Baylor: 0-1 Texas: 4-1 Texas A&M: 0-1 Texas...

    JoePa Fired/What is happening at Penn State?!?!

    Re: Paterno to retire at seasons end No he won't, he has been fired and Tom Bradley has been named interim coach for the rest of the year. https://twitter.com/#!/Jim_Gardner If you don't believe this turn your TV to ESPN2 and listen to the BOT press confernce they are airing.

    I don't see any Iowa opponents in the top-15

    And just how would putting a conference into divisions that don't exist change the data of games played to date?
