They(Iowa) are having their best season EVER and there is not a weakness in any of their units: offense, defense, or special teams.  The only near weakness is Iowa's secondary, which has given up alot of yards this season due to the fact  the Hawkeyes are usually up big on their opponents early.  This translates into less rushing (which is why Iowa is #1 in the Big Ten in Rushing Defense and one of the toughest in the entire nation) and more passing as teams try to play catch-up.  But when they need a big play, their defense has come up big this year.That being said, I think the deciding factor in a potential game of this magnitude would be the locale, but Iowa has been just as deadly on the road this year as at home (witness:  Iowa at the Big House stomping Michigan earlier this season).You know what, as an Iowa fan, I think maybe the BCS should arrange an Iowa-OSU matchup, but the odds of that happening are slim.  Oh well, we will just have to settle for at least a share of the Big Ten Championship and a trip to the Rose Bowl.  Maybe its time for the Big Ten to join everyone else in the nation and have divisions and a title game???  Nah!!</blockquote>
