In my opinion we owe it to the Big Ten to beat Michigan St this weekend and prevent them from going undefeated and somehow making it into the MNC game. 

All I can think about is them getting there and facing Oregon and just getting absolutely pounded, which will do nothing but eliminate the progress we made in the bowl games last year in restoring our reputations.  The only other worse thing that could happen is MSU would play Boise St and lose to them, validating their argument they belong when most believe they don't at all due to their cake walk of a schedule.

So really the Big Ten should all be rooting for Iowa, not just so they can get back into the Big Ten title hunt, but so we don't have to face another tOSU MNC embarassment.
