It seems the Orange Bowl has something in common with the Fiesta Bowl this season. Like the Fiesta, the Orange pits a dominant offense versus a dominant defense. Also like the Fiesta, the Orange features at least one team that some people thought would end up in a different bowl. In this case, it’s the Iowa Hawkeyes.
One of the most under used keys in college football handicapping is motivational angles. Let down, look ahead, and bounce back games are some of the most profitable situations year after year in college football, yet most people don’t look at them, especially with the less popular teams. Mediocre to below average BCS conference teams are very capable of having huge swings in performance.
The sportsbook has surprised us in college football this season thanks to some surprising parity. Admit it – you didn’t peg Iowa as your top BCS contender entering this season. Yet here the Hawkeyes are, 6-0 and suddenly making a serious bid thanks to stellar defense. Can they beat a solid Wisconsin team on the road?

It’s interesting that both of these teams, which have recognizable names in college football, went 6-6 last season, yet did not go to a bowl game. With additional post-season contests this season, that hardly seems like something that is possible.

Two teams hoping to pull some surprises in the Big Ten will get together on Saturday as the Iowa Hawkeyes (3-2 SU, 2-2 ATS) face off against the Michigan State Spartans (4-1 SU, 3-2 ATS) in NCAA college football action that is slated to kick off at Noon ET at Spartan Stadium (natural turf) in East Lansing, MI.
Iowa is getting a lot of respect as they head to Pittsburgh with their 3-0 record. My only question is who have they played? The Hawkeyes opened against I-AA Maine, and then played a team that should be I-AA in Florida International, followed by rival Iowa State last week. All three games were at home too.
