What seed would you have Iowa in that 8 team field?
25ish not selected, pretty close to ISU around 30ish.

In no order….
Texas
Fsu
Georgia
Washington
Alabama
Ohio state
Michigan
Seems those 7 all have a case to at least be close to the filed or having played themselves in.

Open to Oregon or others for 8.

It's not like I love giving Iowa credit for anything, but at this point I think we can stop pretending that Iowa doesn't have a championship-level defense. If their offense was even mediocre they'd be a serious threat to make the playoff this year.

ISU might have made a recent final four or two in hoops with same assumption.

It’s a two score game. Not sure Iowa can score once. A 10 point lead vs Iowa is like a 20 point lead against most other teams
Pretty much. Iowa's offense might be good for 7 points absolute max, and that's if they're handed a short field or something. We need a D or ST score. Obviously not expecting to win this but our D is tough as nails and love seeing the halftime crew talking about that. Will see if this turns into PSU where the D just gets worn out by being on the field so much and end up getting blown out, easily could happen.

If they want the fans to get more into these Dr Pepper tuition contests, they need the participants to be from the schools playing in the game.
