I think in an ideal system, you have the conference championships as the extended playoff and then you have the champions face off in the real playoff
with the current system, I believe Iowa would be in the discussion for the 3rd or 4th spot if they won today and obliterated michigan
do I think they are one of the 4 best teams in the country in terms of talent? no
do I think they are deserving of being in the discussion if they are the champions of the big 10? yes
Which conferences?
Iowa should not be in the discussion.
