I'm actually excited to see what follow Jersey boy Shonn Greene is all about. I don't get a chance to watch much Iowa football, so I'd like to see what goes in to his crazy stats

Iowa takes this IMO.

I too think Iowa will be too much although if Carolina can stop the running game, Iowa has zero offense. I think it will be a low scoring game but Iowa will control the clock and win by less than a touchdown

This will be one of the bowls I will boycott because they did not take the more deserving team. Iowa had a worse record than Northwestern, worse ranking, and lost at home to Northwestern- this year's Outback Bowl has lost its prestige.

A New Year's Day No Ranked Bowl is not something to rave about. Check their website. They're advertising it as the "#26 ranked Hawkeyes". I guess the Outback thinks the AP Poll just changed its rules to extend the rankings to the Top 30.

I am a College Football fan, and I want to see the kids who earned the right to a perceived more prestigious bowl get it. If a Bowl does not fulfill it and blatantly takes away from kids what they earned, I do not watch that Bowl. I want to see what's best for the game, not egos.

How has Iowa not earned their game? They beat Penn State and are ranked where they should be in the Big Ten to get this game. They worked hard and earned this game.

But more power to you. Boycott the Outback bowl.
