It was the first quarter, chill. Jesus. 3 points is important in what looks to be a defensive battle. I don't give a [censored] about the SEC. It's OSU @ Iowa. What relevance does the SEC have? None. What relevance does the Rose Bowl have? None. What relevance does the Big Ten's reputation have? You guessed it - none.

Do you know why winning the Big Ten is a goal? Because winning it likely means going to the Rose Bowl, at worst. You make it a goal to win the conference. After that, you make it a goal to win the bowl game.

The relevance is that it's a pattern. Also like the pattern, outside of the great win over Oregon, of not being able to beat a top out of conference opponent. The relevance of the SEC is we could easily be in the Sugar Bowl against an SEC team and I wouldn't want another embarrassment. If you can't get a TD in that situation against Iowa, just wait until you go up against a team like Auburn or Alabama, which is all possible depending on how things play out. If you go to the Rose Bowl and play a team like Stanford with the high intensity offense, you're also not going to get wins if you consistently kick field goals.
