I honestly thought it would be a close game with Iowa losing but being there until the end. Wasn't surprised to see them make a run...they do that every game.
But, as we've discussed at length, they again had a chance to get a huge win...at home...against a top 6 team. And they sh!t the bed...again.
They have what, four Q1 opportunities left? They aren't beating Illinois or Ohio State on the road. Road games at Maryland and Michigan and Penn State will be easier but no cake walk...let's be optimistic and say they go 2-1 with those three. They won't beat Michigan State at home but will win the rest (MN, NEB, UM, NW).
If my math is correct, that gets them to 20-10 (and again I am being pretty effing optimistic)...with still ZERO Q1 wins.
Does a team that goes 20-10 with a 10-10 league mark but no Q1 wins get in? They probably do, but they probably shouldn't.
