The only piece of somewhat evidence seems to be Kirk burning three timeouts at the end of the game in 2020.

Yeah, Riley probably received info that he wasn't going to get drafted all that high, so he came back to enjoy another year of college football. He was at the Senior Bowl, so he had first hand feedback. This is great news for the Hawkeyes. Koerner was a senior, he only bypassed a possible 6th...

The B1G needs to make the game happen during championship weekend. The crossovers are just intriguing games, and long-time rivalries should be preserved wherever possible.

Iowa City media? There isn't much of an Iowa City media. The only newspaper, the Press Citizen, is a shell of a newspaper. They mostly just publish leftovers from the Des Moines Register. Which is also a shell of a newspaper, and they both mostly publish leftovers from USA Today and Gannett...

ISM is like an 86 while you guys are starting 90/90

The trend across sports is increase club/luxury areas and reduce overall capacity. Iowa just rebuilt the North end zone with increased club seating but lost 1k in capacity. I could see TCF Bank add a big club area that raises capacity 2k-3k.

The Big Ten on the West side of the stadium is huge. We attended the game in 2016, and Iowa fans sat (mostly) in the shade while Florida fans absolutely roasted in the sun. If you get tickets, stay on the West or Southwest sides.

The Outback Bowl is a great bowl. Tampa is a great destination, and the game is played in a 20 year old NFL stadium. The Citrus is in Orlando. The area is Disney and... Florida Man. The stadium is a dump built in 1936 and haphazardly used since then. You should all be super happy with the...

Iowa won the 1957 and 1959 Rose Bowls. Which is the same era has your last appearances (1961, 1962).

You're responding to the opinion of a single blogger.

Literally every bowl projection I've seen has Minnesota in the Outback. The agreements pointed out by short ornery is a big reason why. You are just about guaranteed that bowl. It is a great bowl in a great city with a relatively new NFL stadium. Have fun!

The committee seems to track computer rankings fairly closely. Nearly all the complaints on this thread match up with computer rankings. Massey Composite: https://www.masseyratings.com/cf/compare.htm It has Minnesota 18. Memphis 16. Wisconsin 6. PSU 8. ND 11.

Totally agree. My point is that the CFP rankings don't seem outlandish. Minnesota appears to be a lock for the Outback, so you guys are looking good.

The Massey Composite has Iowa 17 and Minnesota 18. https://www.masseyratings.com/cf/compare.htm Iowa beat 7-5 ISU on the road. ISU was ranked in every CFP until this week. Iowa went to Madison and lost by 2. Minnesota lost by 21 at home when everything was on the line.
