POLL: IA Playoff Chances

\Today a couple of us has a discussion on IA and their chances to make the playoffs. Obviously if they go undefeated and win the conference championship, they will be in. What scenario do you believe will be the better option for IA to make the playoffs should they suffer a loss?

1) IA remains undefeated up until the CC. Loses a tight game (say 2-3 points) to an undefeated tOSU. 

2) IA loses to a 6-6 NU team. Goes to the CC and defeats an undefeated tOSU. 

Obviously there's lots of different results around the country where perhaps either of these outcomes could still result the same. The question is, which of these do you feel gives IA the GREATEST chance to get to the 4 team playoff in the eyes of the committee?

  • NO I VOTE FOR ONE. I THINK LOSING OUT ON POTENTIAL PLAYOFFS OR NEW YEAR BOWL GAME IS AS IMPORTANT TO A TEAM WHICH THEY MAY MISS OUT WITH A LOST TO A 6-6 TEAM IS AS IMPORTANT TO A TEAM WITH A LOST MAY MISS OUT ON THE THE QUICK LANE OR RED BOX OR DUKE MAYO BOWL WITH A LOST

  • LOOK AT WHAT A LOST DOES FOR LOWA. A UNDEFEATED SEASON IS RUINED. ANY CHANCE OF GETTING A BID IF TWO BIG TEN TEAMS ARE WIN IF BOTH WIN THE REST OF THE GAMES. MORE THEN LIKELY LOWA IS OUT OF THE PLAYOFFS UNLESS ONE OF THE OTHER TEAMS IN CONTENTION FOR THE PLAYOFFS LOSE. ALSO A CHANCE FOR A NEW YEAR DAY BOWL GAME IS OUT OF THE PICTURE WITH A LOST TO NEBRASKA SHOULD THEY LOSE THE CC GAME. ON TOP OF IT THE BIG TEN CONFERNCE PROBABLY LOSE OUT ON 10 MILLION DOLLARS IF LOWA SHOULD LOSE TO NEBRASKA. THIS IS SUCH A DUMB COMMENT THAT SOMEHOW THIS GAME ISN'T AS IMPORTANT TO THEM AS THE GAME IS TO NEBRASKA. WHAT A DUMB COMMENT

  • DO YOU KNOW HOW TO READ. I SAID I WOULD MUCH RATHER LOSE TO THE NUMBER ONE OR TWO TEAM IN THE NATION IN THE CC THEN TO LOSE TO PERHAP A 6-6 TEAM. DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT MEANS. IT IS NUMBER ONE. HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU THIS OPTION ONE. THIS SEEM LIKE A FORM OF HARASSMENT TO  ME. 

  • read your own poll. I am seeing three votes that if lowa does not defeat nebraska they may not get into the playoffs and zero which say the other way. please read your own poll trashman

  • i vote for one. to me a lost to nebraska may cost lowa a place in the playoff. however a lost also  more then likely will cost the big ten 5 or 6 million dollars and a major bowl bid of one of the teams in the big ten. trashman i know you are so excited and saying how much more important a NU victory is to them. but i am curious what bowl game are you hoping nebraska may go to and this is a serious question the quick lane bowl, the red box bowl or the duke mayo bowl all have tie in with the big ten conference  and i assume nebraska could go to one of them?

  • It can't be # 2 because OSU is not undefeated.  #1 isn't that much better.  I say option 3, the only way IOWA gets in is if they are undefeated.  By the way, who cares what Iowa does?  It's Iowa!

  • WHAT IS THE RESULT OF YOUR POLL TRASHMAN. 

  • YOUR QUESTION IS SO STUPID. THE TWO GAMES HAVE NOTHING IN COMMON. BUT TO MAKE THIS CLEAR TO YOU . I CHOOSE ONE. I WOULD MUCH RATHER HAVE LOWA LOSE TO A GOOD TEAM IN THE CC THEN TO LLOSE TO A TEAM WHICH IS UNRAKED AND PERHAPS LOST MORE GAMES THEN THEY  WON. I CHOOSE NUMBER ONE DO YOU UNDERSTAND
