I'd rather play Iowa because I just want the W and they're (probably) the worse team.
It's hard to know what the committee will do. Iowa's got an additional win, and played MSU closer than OSU (-3 on a neutral field is not the same as -3 at home). From the sound of it they played their heart out. Given the way polls normally work, you'd expect the rankings to look like:
1) Clemson
2) Alabama
3) Oklahoma/MSU
4) MSU/Oklahoma (hard to tell placement here)
5) OSU
6) Stanford
7) Iowa
But the committee is a different beast. I really don't know what will happen, wouldn't be surprised if we're ranked anywhere from 4 to 6 (the more I think about it the more I think there's a case for us being in front of MSU/Oklahoma), OSU anywhere from 5 to 7, and Iowa from 5 to 7. It's just a crapshoot.
