Your questions. My answers. Let's hit it.
@BennettESPN if Iowa ends up 12-1 and MSU 11-1; (& OSU goes to the playoff) would the Rose Bowl pick Sparty over the Hawkeyes?
Brian Bennett: It's important to remember that the Rose Bowl itself no longer gets to do the picking. If the Big Ten champion makes the playoff, then the non-champion with the highest ranking in the College Football Playoff rankings will go to Pasadena.
It's an interesting scenario you bring up. Some of of it would depend on how Iowa played in the Big Ten championship game.
