Looks like Georgia won by a good margin. I thought i heard it was mostly with a back up QB. I didn't get to watch the game. I was too busy watching Iowa do what Iowa does best, beat itself. At least one easy touchdown missed. gave away a field goal before half in one of the worst decisions i seen by them in a long time. Lots of easy throws whiffed. Iowa could and should have won that game, much like against WI, but they got in their own way consistently. These types of loses are more painful to watch than the ones where you were just beat down on by a better team. As an Iowa fan, this is just something ive gotten use to over the years. Even in games we should dominate, we always have to keep it close. We rarely ever just beat someone down and put the game away early.
I guess there is an upside to iowa losing. Their defense has too many young players.(replacing all of the starting LBs and 2 freshmen corners were starting) Even had they won, and somehow got to the championship, idk how well they would of played. I would say it would probably be a close match, as Iowa generally doesn't get blown out that often but unless they played at a really high efficiency, they would lose. and lets say they somehow won, i dont think they could really hang with the top teams. Not with all of that inexperience. our Defensive line is what is keeping us in a lot of these games, or making the plays to get us the win.
all well, at least Iowa State won.
The big 10 west div is a mess. NW now has it, but i get the feeling they aren't going to win out.(they remind me of Iowa in so many ways. they barely beat rutgers....) I can see them losing a game or 2 to another big 10 team. No matter who wins the west, it wont be pretty. and if MI ends up losing, then the east wont look much better. MI is the Big 10s only hope of getting to the playoffs. OSU would need help from the other top teams losing(and probably badly) to get in if they win out.
Clemson looked good. i think the rest of the top teams 5 teams are off. Texas plays tonight against OSU, which i think will be a good game.
