Iowa opens a 10 point dog. They travel well but that stadium will be flooded by blue and gold. Look for the Hawkeyes in an upset!

It would be very Harbaugh like to have a massive let down after a gigantic win. I don’t think it will happen, but should be close.

Would definitely be entertaining

One of my good friends at work grew up in Iowa and is a huge Hawkeye fan.  He is one of very few of my friends who also like college football.  Iowa has kind of become my adopted team that I like to see do well.  I wouldn't say I am a fan, but, I'll root for them if it doesn't hurt ND.  Anyway, I felt bad rooting against them the past few weeks in hopes for Wisconsin since they would help ND more than Iowa.  Now that Wisconsin is out of the picture he was happy to see me text him Go Hawkeyes!

Iowa's defense gonna need 4 or 5 touchdowns to even have a chance. 

Neutral site, in a stadium.. UM going to be a heavy favorite on the money line.

Ya know, I really want to dislike the guy but honestly he seems like a pretty decent guy. Maybe it's all for show but I think the act of giving away all his bonus money to the athletic staff affected by Covid is pretty impressive.

I think his general weirdness/aloof nature is misrepresented as arrogance.

Iowa is a poor man’s Michigan. Of the 4 teams blocking ND’s path to the playoff, I think Michigan is the safest bet to win.

And I still can’t believe Auburn choked that game away. I think UGA will beat Bama, but it would be nice to not even have to worry about that game

UM wanted to pay him 10 million annually in the first contract. He told them to pay him less and spend the money on his assistants..

he’s pretty well set from Stanford NFL and his first Michigan contract. 
 

I know it’s hard to believe but most of these guys just want to win and the money doesn’t really change a whole lot of their lifestyle. They’re busy coaching and recruiting all year. 
 

bellichick would regularly pay cash bonus to low end coaches when goals were hit.

Yup.  That was rough to watch.

It was in the bag. 
Fall down in bounds and the game was over. 
But, I do truly appreciate the marvel that Saban is. Seems like his OC and/or DC leave every year, but there his teams are every stinking’ year. That Georgia game was a total beating. Of course the media won’t say much about it. If ‘Bama beat ND like that it would be a different narrative.

Well, 2 of the 3 games last year were massive blowouts (the prior years were not much better). Yet, ND was the only one who got bashed for it. People may have already forgotten, but the playoffs were not very fun to watch the last two years for anyone outside of the winning team fanbases.

Average margin of victory in all CFP games:  19 points.
