I feel Iowa winning would help our cause a little more. If MSU by were to win, Iowa may still be ranked ahead of Ohio State if they play a close game. Our strength of schedules will be pretty much identical and while our win over Michigan will look better than Iowas win over Northwestern they still made it to the conference championship and the committee really values that.
It also shows its better to lose early. Had we lost to MSU in say week 5 would that have changed where we are at? What if Bama had lost in the last week of the year does it change how we see them.This just shows what is so great about the four team playoff. Regular season matters. Win all your games and you aren't in the position we are in.
I think it is more that our loss cost us our Division and gives us no shot at the conference title.It also shows its better to lose early. Had we lost to MSU in say week 5 would that have changed where we are at? What if Bama had lost in the last week of the year does it change how we see them.

So...in this case, losing to bad teams is better.I think it is more that our loss cost us our Division and gives us no shot at the conference title.
Anything is better than losing to the best in-division team on your schedule.So...in this case, losing to bad teams is better.
