At first I thought fine, you don't think the Big Ten is good. But, Iowa beat your #23 Wisconsin at Wisconsin. By double digits. Iowa beat your #10 Penn State at Penn State. By double digits. Iowa lost its first game of the season to Northwestern 17-10. It was leading 10-0 in the 2nd quarter when its starting QB got sacked and the totally green freshman backup had to replace him. The next week, with the same freshman qb, Iowa went on the road to #6 Ohio State and the game went into overtime. Iowa lost by 3. Iowa lost 2 games all season by a total of 10 points, with injury to its starting QB playing a huge part (he'll be back for the bowl game). Needless to say, I think you have Iowa's ranking wrong.
