Although what you stated does favor Iowa, I think it is only in a very slight way.
The reason I say this is because I have tremendous, tremendous respect for the quality of this GT team........more so then any team the Big Ten has faced this year in a bowl game(yes, I think GT is a better team then LSU and OREGON).
Although the GT defense may only be average, their offense can be as potent as ANY team in the nation.
As I stated once or twice earlier, watching the GT offense do battle against the outstanding IOWA defense should be something every true college football in America should be looking forward to.
DINO, keep in mind, the BCS has only been in existance for 10 years.
I just looked it up on WIKI, and surprisingly, the Big Ten has won two BCS in the same season not only once, but THREE times.
