		<description>Lots of surprises on the up-side and the down-side. Iowa and Michigan State surprised to the up-side while Michigan and Illinois should have done a lot better.</description>

		<description>The fourth down attempt was deep enough into Michigan State territory that it was either attempt a long field goal or go for it.  Besides, all we did was hand the ball off.

I also was reading how Dantonio supposedly chucked a Rose into the stands and yelled at PSU fans while going through the visitors tunnel after the game and had to be restrained by one of his assistants.  That&#039;s really poor sportsmanship on his part if true.  He needs to learn how to take his lumps like a man, just like he failed to do so last year after losing to Michigan when earlier that year he held a &quot;moment of silence&quot; after Mich lost to App State.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m going with Bob on this one. Stanzi, Greene, and Iowa&#039;s defense all played against MSU; it isn&#039;t like they switched their entire roster around for the Michigan State game. This seems to be a little bit of homerism in ranking them on top of both MSU and NU, when both teams have better records and beat them head to head. Penn State laid an egg against them, so clearly they are the Best of the Rest? Not necessarily.

Also, going for it on fourth down when you&#039;re up 39 points in the fourth quarter and calling a timeout so you can distribute roses to your defense in the third certainly warrants some meager retalation. I don&#039;t see how you can have a problem with Dantonio taking the only shot he could after getting pummeled for four quarters.</description>

		<description>The biggest problem with Iowa at number 3 isn&#039;t just that they lost to MSU. It&#039;s that Iowa finished 5th in the league and lost to the number 3 team, MSU AND the number 4 team, Northwestern, and both those schools finished with more overall wins than Iowa on top of that. It&#039;s not just one head to head, it&#039;s two.</description>
