I think the Rose Bowl would have had a hard time justifying picking a lower rated Ohio State team than a higher rated Iowa team. They were already on record saying that they would go with the highest rated team. But I thin deep down, they were probably hoping that MSU had beaten Iowa more soundly and that Iowa would fall behind OSU.
On the other hand, maybe they appreciated the fact that Iowa hadn't been to the Rose Bowl in 25 years, and had a fairy tale season until the very end, compared to an Ohio State team that probably was expecting to go to the playoff and was disappointed to be relegated to a New Year's Six bowl.
