ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- People will come.
America, or at least the Big Ten, will come to Iowa this fall. It will come to Iowa, specifically to Iowa City (if you really want to zoom in, to Kinnick Stadium) and it will do so for the same reason that both political parties invade the state every four years: to pick a national candidate.
Presidential politics has the Iowa caucuses. The Big Ten championship has Iowa's remaining home football schedule. On Saturday, the Hawkeyes won 38-28 at Michigan to move to 5-1 halfway through their season. Coach Kirk Ferentz's team has three home games remaining, and locals with season tickets must be eyeing the upcoming Saturdays wondering how they came to be so fortunate.
The remaining home schedule is a veritable cornucopia, rendering Kinnick Stadium a corn-utopia. Consider: Next Saturday the Hawkeyes host Wisconsin (6-1) which just upended No. 1 Ohio State. Then comes Michigan State, which could well be 8-0 when it visits on Halloween eve. Finally, there's the Buckeyes, who are currently 6-1 and the five-time defending conference champions, on November 20.
