Ohio State And Iowa Battle For Top Spot in The Big Ten

Since getting humiliated last year by the Buckeyes, the Hawkeyes have battled back to the top of the Big Ten conference.

On Saturday, Iowa gets to show just how far they've come since that loss, when the #1 ranked Buckeyes travel to Iowa, where the Hawkeye fans and players are primed and ready for an upset.

Ohio State has avenged both of last season's losses already this year by beating Texas, and Penn State. Now they find themselves the hunted, as they face a team waiting for a year for this rematch.

Iowa comes into the game with revenge on their minds, but ranked #13 in the polls this year gives the Hawkeyes even more motivation to win Saturday, a chance to vault themselves into the National spotlight.

The current line on the game is Ohio State favored by 6.5, not a very high spread for a team who is the consensus #1 among poll voters.

The game will be televised nationally on ABC at 8:00.
