I think the Iowa loss is damning. Now, no one would've put money down on OSU getting blown out by the Hawkeyes, but it happened. Anyone want to put money down on ANYONE blowing out Alabama?
Wisconsin has all anyone could ask for - a win-and-you're-in game. If OSU wins and doesn't make the playoff, they have no one to blame but themselves. Lose once, you're on a tightrope...lose twice, you have no right to expect to get in.
