Mid-day questions for you

Answer one, some, all, or none. This is America, after all.
If Iowa's football team had beaten Northwestern, how crushing would the Ohio State result have been?
Doesn't that loss to Northwestern look -- well, I won't say better -- but less discouraging to Iowa fans given what the Wildcats have done since in winning at Illinois and beating Wisconsin at home?
If Iowa gets a BCS bowl invitation, would you prefer the Fiesta Bowl or Orange Bowl, and why? And would you rather have the Sugar Bowl than either of the other two if it were possible?
If the Insight Bowl is choosing between a 6-6 Iowa State and a 6-6 Oklahoma, who should it pick? Oklahoma has the marquee name, but is physically beat up and emotionally reeling right now and would be toast with a loss to Oklahoma State Saturday. Iowa State would surely bring more fans to Tempe than the Sooners, but how often does an Insight Bowl get an Oklahoma of any kind?
Why has Iowa almost always played to the level of its competition? Is that a good thing, a bad thing, or neither?
Will you attend a bowl game in person this season, and why? Or why not?
Who are you more likely to watch tonight, the Houston Texans or the Texas Longhorns men's basketball team?
