You are right on the money with Iowa and the Big 10. They don't have south Teams to compete with Bowls on. Here is my prediction of the conference and why Iowa has lucked out recently.

These are the best teams so far, but are very beatable.
7 Bowls available for the Big10
In no particular order

BCS
Cap One
Outback

Penn State
Ohio State
Wisconsin

-----------------------------
again... In no particular order. Teams with 6-8 wins
Alamo
Insight
Champs
Motor City

Michigan
Michigan State
Purdue
Iowa
Illinois

------------------------------
Left for dead with no bowls
Northwestern
Minny
Indiana

------------------
So in closing, All Iowa has to do is win 4 more games and 5 of those teams don't have a heartbeat. The beat the following teams Western Michigan, Indiana at home, Illiinois at home, Northwestern, Minny etc. and they will go to either the champs sports bowl or insight. Phoenix or orlando isn't bad for a team that sucks AND to top it off if that happens they will get to claim this...
7-6 - Outback Bowl -05
6-7 - Alamo Bowl -06
6-8 wins gets the where???

If they pulled that crap in Big12 land they would be going to Detroit or staying home.

Man Being in the Big12 north sure sucks for bowls.
