All right @ericD
Iowa has done enough to officially get me hopeful
Tell me what is gong to take
My thoughts
Beat Illinois Saturday
Then get 1 more Q1 win in Indy
Assuming they don't get the double bye that leaves them at 21-13 with 5 or 6 Q1 wins ( depending on where Minnesota finishes )
Thoughts?
Iowa owns the head-to-head over Nebraska, so if Iowa beats Illinois and Nebraska shits the bed against Rutgers (tonight) or @ Michigan (next Sunday) then Iowa will finish ahead of Nebraska in the Big 10 standings.
The #3 thru #8 seeds are still very much open.
