More bowl talk

Big Ten scenarios hinge on Oregon-Oregon State:

If Oregon State wins, expect the following:

Penn State to Rose

Ohio State to Capital One

Michigan State to Outback

Iowa to Alamo

Northwestern to Champs Sports

Wisconsin to Insight

Minnesota to Motor City


If Oregon wins, here's what could happen:

Penn State to Rose

Ohio State to either the Fiesta or Sugar (depending on if Fiesta wants to have Utah instead of Ohio State)

Michigan State to Capital One

Iowa or Northwestern to Outback

Iowa or Northwestern to Alamo

Minnesota or Wisconsin to Champs Sports

Minnesota or Wisconsin to Insight

To make a few things clear, I don't see the Hawkeyes jumping over Michigan State for a bowl. If the Outback chooses between Iowa and Northwestern, I think they'd choose Iowa, but stranger things have happened before. If Oregon State crashes the BCS party, there's no doubt in my mind Iowa would go to the Alamo over Northwestern.

With Oregon's humiliation of Oregon State tonight, I have no doubt that if Ohio State goes to a BCS game, which is projected, Iowa WILL go to the Outback bowl over Northwestern. In no way should NU get in a better bowl than us even though we lost to them. They do not have the fan support that Iowa does. If the bowl cares anything about money, which is what it's all about, THEY WILL CHOOSE IOWA!
