For the second season in a row, Ohio State did not play Iowa, and that potentially cost the Buckeyes a trip to the 1983 Rose Bowl and conference title, the second year in a row that Ohio State could have been a Rose Bowl participant. Had the Buckeyes beaten Iowa, Ohio State would have been the Rose Bowl representative after beating Michigan head to head.
