[Herky] Did Rose Bowl get it right choosing Iowa over Ohio State?

[Mike Waller]

In fairness, I think they're comparing bottom to bottom. They didn't list OSU playing Virginia Tech either. I read it as really meaning non-P5 teams, though that's not what they said. And while Illinois  State is pretty good, a P5 will never get actual credit for playing an FCS team.
