So if Iowa "barley" beats a 5 win Nebraska
- Thread starter Zorich 88
- Start date
Well, if you go with the "best loss" theory then Iowa would still be in good shape.
Yes, if they barely win and ND beats a ranked opponent it seems to me to be the same thing as Oklahoma last week?
Nebraska qb is offensive. He is bad. HOw can they not have a better option?
The committee will go ahead and give them the trophy and not select a Final Four. I mean who can figure out after 2 years how, why, or what this committee is going to do.
Doesn't matter to you. If Iowa and Mich State win ONE of then will be in.
If Iowa loses today and they beat Mich St in playoff Irish are in if they beat Stanford
BTW if Iowa wins by 4pts do they drop two spots ? We did...Iowa's offense eats shit . If ND played a clean game they put up 35 on BC and the committee knows all of this !!!

We won't have to worry about this. Nebraska stinks. There QB is an embarrassment. Continually just throwing the ball up for grabs. Yet they keep trotting him out there
Yep but the degree of any Iowa State or Michigan State win doesn't metter. If they both win the Big 10 has a spot.
Funny how the announcers made it seem like Iowa played a good team today. Nebraska will not even go to a bowl this year. Yet, they used this game to say why Iowa belongs in the top 4.

I picked up on the same vibe also. The thing that got me was when they said that a 5-7 Nebraska team could go to a bowl if there are not enough 6 win teams to fill the bowls. I mean really? This is what the bowl games have become? It is time to scrap or modify the bowl system and go to a 8 team playoff.

Every team in the top 25 would be undefeated playing that BS schedule
Well they won't get in unless they beat Mich State. Depending on what happens it may turn out that ND never beat a team that ends up being ranked at season's end.
I have heard considerable discussion how the bowls will be filled; 80 teams needed. Have heard discussion about NCAA considering allowing 5-7 teams go to a bowl if there are not enough teams with 6 wins. No decision yet, and I have not heard how the various 5-7 teams will be chosen (I suppose the bowls in question will get to select the teams).
You're yapping about Iowa after Navy, ND's signature win, got pummeled by Houston?
What about our signature loss?

ND has learned from this, I hope. It's time to schedule the weakest possible schedule and go undefeated. That's how you get in.
You're in here yapping when you lost to Nebraska? I love how ND has whooped MSU's butt the last three games played in the series.
Iowa has to go 13-0 by beating Ohio State, Michigan or MSU in the B1G CG to get to the playoffs, no reasonable person could consider the Hawkeyes unworthy if the finish 13-0.
Yes if Iowa already lost one. Iowa will play for Big 10 Championship game. If Iowa play MSU for Big 10 Championship game. That going to be great for ND. I think MSU will beat Iowa.
A Big Ten team is going to be in the playoff no matter the result of the Big Ten Championship. Regular season for Iowa is 12-0 and if ND wins against Stanford they are 11-1. You want to punish Iowa for having the Big a Ten Championship? Not going to happen. Your signature win over Pitt and Navy is nothing, Rutgers beat them consistently when we played them. Northwestern, the sixth best team in the Big Ten, beat Stanford.
I would have liked to see Iowa play Clemson, in a monsoon. That was the first game I've seen Iowa play and I'm not that impressed. The Nebraska QB all but gift wrapped that game.
What the hell does Rutgers playing Navy and Pitt years ago have to do with anything? Rutgers is not even a topic on this board, or any board for that matter. Go play somewhere else kid, your opinion means nothing here. BTW, Navy would crush you about as bad as Ohio State did. Good job squeaking out that win over hapless Army! What bowl is Rutgers going to BTW?

Iowa would've run between the tackles and won the monsoon would have helped Iowa beat Clemson.
Here is how I would put it.
In 2012 all of the Domers on here kept screaming 'We are undefeated!'. Even though they had plenty of close games. PITT, Stanford, even Oklahoma was VERY close until the closing minutes of the 4th.
If you were cheering for ND to be up in the polls for being undefeated in 2012. You can't be busting on Iowa for being undefeated in 2015. Next week will tell us all we need to know about them

No. Based upon what we saw yesterday, an good quarterback with a decent running game is going to give Iowa all sorts of problems. Clemson would score 30+ on Iowa. Clemson has a solid run defense. Iowa wouldn't have been able to run the same play over and over like they did yesterday and run for 20+ or long touchdowns. Nebraska is a horrible football team, and Iowa beat them by 8 points. MSU will beat PSU and beat Iowa. They will then get stomped in the first round of the playoff.
Name calling? The committee already had them at 4 before they finished the regular schedule 12-0. It's going to be 4 or higher if they win the B1G CG. Maybe ND fans should ask the administration to go all in with the ACC so the Irish have chance in the future to win a championship game to make it to the playoffs instead of whining about a 12 win division champion that needs to get win number 13 to earn a playoff berth on the field.
It really was, and I'm not sure why. I'm wondering if he is more hurt than what he is leading on.
