I’d be pretty surprised if Iowa finished anything other than 2nd (or 1st, depending on how the Big Ten deals with conference records and if Michigan gets locked down again due to actually having an outbreak). I mean, like I said above, they just played pretty dang even with their biggest competition for that spot (maybe controversial, but I hate Wisconsin) despite it being a road game with a missing starter. I guess I’m just the type who takes that circumstance into account more than some. I came away more impressed with Iowa than I was before when I watched the replay this morning.
I enjoy the passion of this conversation. So many strong views, so many reputations at stake… It’s pretty crazy.
That’s fair. I should have limited my victory lap to just laughing at Wisconsin’s expense. I am also a little triggered because I somehow convinced myself to bet on Wisconsin today. Why.
They still play OSU 2x, Wisconsin 2x, @Indiana (who already beat them), @Michigan. They are going to lose some games. Not sure how many they’ll need to win to finish top 2, but I’d guess they need to finish at least 14-6 (maybe 15-5?) to do so and they already have 3 losses. If they sweep OSU and WI then they’ll get there, but I doubt that happens
