Being from Iowa................

I will go on record and say Iowa finishes the season ranked BELOW 7th and Iowa State will finish the season ranked HIGHER than 35th.

Hope I am EXTREMELY wrong on both accounts, but that is my belief.

PS- THANKS FOR SHARING THIS SCnit.............very cool.

PSS- Ohio St is vastly overrated too!!

Ohio State vs Michigan should be a huge game as usual.

Not much respect for the Big 12 North. Probably with good reason.

I think the game of the year in the BIG TEN will be.......

MICHIGAN @ IOWA

Maybe IOWA @ OHIO STATE for the simple reason that both teams will in all liklihood be undefeated when they meet.......before everybody realizes that both are a tad overrated.
