Bowl Thread

The AP poll is out. Iowa is ahead of Ohio State.

Does that mean Rose bowl for Iowa?
 
I see Bob Bowlsby's son is also "confirming" that Iowa will be #5 and headed to the Rose Bowl to take on Stanford.
 
Keep in mind that the Rose Committee doesn't necessarily have to take the higher ranked team. If they think that one fanbase will travel better and spend more, that's the team they'll go with.

I believe they have been quoted that they will take the highest ranked team.

And between Iowa and Ohio State, thats nearly a wash. Ohio State fans wont be excited as they had aspirations of another National Championship, and Iowa fans will show up in droves.

Theh've been quoted as calling that the strong presumption. They''ve also been quoted referring to "extraordinary circumstances" that enable them to go a different direction. I don't think the extraordinary circumstances thing would get brought up if they weren't at least considering it.

Rose Bowl is taking Iowa. For those who enjoy Hawkeye tears... don't get your hopes up. (Until Thursday, that is.)
