Looking for unbiased views. With this win Ohio State is a lock right?

20-11 overall, 12-8 in a strong league. Worst case scenario is 20-12.

Twenty in this conference is a lock unless the non-conference was just piss (and sometimes if it is). OSU doesn’t have much in the non-con, but it’s enough.

Posted a slightly worse record with better scoring margins across the year, probably.

Edit: Actually looking at it, they're probably basically the same. So the scoring margin is boosting Iowa despite a modest gap in success. (UW's SOS looked better by one metric, but not sure how it shakes out in theirs)

Lost to Wisconsin.

Only beat one ranked team (Nebraska at home).

 Only one legit OOC game (lost).

All true/semi-true things, mostly beside the point. 

Thankfully, the NET doesn’t set brackets, and those will all matter on that front.

FWIW, I've been banging this drum for a while. If Iowa loses to UNL this afternoon then loses their BTT opener I think they might miss the Dance.
