Will it be Iowa or Ohio State?

I'd really, really like to see Stanford play the best possible opponent, which I assumed before today would be the Buckeyes. But Iowa impressed.

Either way, Roses are very, very special. And as far as USC losing, it couldn't have happened to a more deserving team. What an undisciplined group. I look forward to seeing someone earnestly call for Helton's firing. But I'm sure he'll stay...and I'm very OK with that.

I hope the ref responsible or the entire crew gets suspended.  Atrocious.

I have a strong hunch we are playing Iowa.  I am from there and my family are all Hawk fans.  Will be a fun matchup.  OSU would also rock.

Yup, that was a nice welcome to the Pac-12 for Helton.

If I had to bet right now, I'd think Iowa is ranked above Ohio State, and we play Iowa.

I'd rather play Ohio State just for the brand name + national bragging rights. 

It SOUNDS a lot more impressive to say "we beat Ohio State in the Rose Bowl" than "we beat Iowa in the Rose Bowl."

Although celebrating the achievement of our team is far more important, I cannot resist reprising a September post by  CompSci87:

One of the most telling things for me was the admission (6:04 in the 4th) by one of the ESPN announcers  that this was the first time they had watched McCaffery live.  Really?  As professional football announcers, they hadn't watched a Stanford game live before today and hadn't studied him on tape?  Well, I'm glad they finally got around to it.

McCaffrey should be touted as "perhaps a one-in-a-generation player" for the Voldemort.  Otherwise, few will vote for a sophomore.  ("Oh, he can win it next year")  If Stanford (justifiably) points out that someone like him isn't a player that is just the best of his class, but is the best football player of his year, and maybe the 10 years before and the 10 years after.

Seriously, the SEC's new season rushing record is only 1986 yards?  And that's a reason to tout Henry as deserving a Voldemort?
