As that championship game was already played January 8, 2009 it is impossible for Iowa to play in the NCAA-CFB Division-Ia Championship game DURING 2009.
However, if they win the Big-10 title AND finish the 2009 season ranked #1 or #2 in the BCS system {currently #10 or #11} they CAN play in an NCAA-CFB D-Ia Championship Game in 2010, to be played on/about January 9, 2010.
If they do so, that will be a significant accomplishment. If they do not, sorry to Hawkeye fans asking, but you should still remain proud of your team and their in-season accomplishments to date.
