Dear America - Iowa Doesn't Care What You Think
- Thread starter TBT
- Start date
Oops, FIFA. Sorry Pittsburgh dropped out of the rankings this week too. Your intellectual knowledge is slowly losing ground.
My "intellectual knowledge" meaning predicting rankings a week from now? Is this post for real? Did something change where Pitt and Duke were not actually ranked at they time I posted this? Are you going revisit this thread next week if Wisconsin wins and gets bumped back into the top 25 (currently #26) too?
This thread cracks me up.
You are the one that kept bringing up Duke, as if they were the next annointed one. Actually, if you would have paid attention, since I mentioned it several times, the whole point of my posts were that ISU would be able to play with teams like Duke, Pittsburgh, and anyone else on Iowa's schedule. Never once did I say it would be an automatic lock for ISU to win the games, just that they would be competitive. Then you started sqauking about how big of a powerhouse Duke was. Which I just laughed at. And so did Miami. And so did the voters of the AP Top 25.
I reference the fact I though NW was average, and pointed to their games against Duke and Ball St. as evidence. Yes, they did beat Stanford, but even that win isn't looking so hot at this point of the season.
I'll let you in on a little tip. Just because a team is ranked in the Top 25, does not make them one of the Top 25 teams in the nation. Same can be said for the Top 10.
So, keep posting videos to back your stories up, and I'll keep adding facts to shoot them down. Again, and again, and again....

If it ain't January, it ain't Jack.
But you're right, I wasn't aware about the ascension of the Peach. Thanks for the knowledge.
Do these represent the number of unranked teams iowa has played?
It is amazing that Iowa has 0 currently ranked teams on their entire 12 game schedule. Iowa State has 6. So Iowa can go 12-0 without beating a currently ranked team abd the best ISU could have done without beating a curre tly ranked team is 6-6. Kudos to what Iowa has done undefeated is no easy task and winning all the winnable games is a feat that deserves respect. But really as of right now Memphis has more quality wins and deserves a higher ranking than Iowa. My 2 cents.
1) You gave a prediction of ISU's record with Iowa's schedule. You felt comfortable enough to give a win total of 6 or 7. Here is your exact post on it:
"ISU would currently be 4-3 with Iowa's schedule and would finish either 6-6 or 7-5."
That post doesn't exactly scream uncertainty to me.
2) Beating a Top 10 team that is in the playoff discussion isn't a big win for NW now? Yikes, this win over a 3-5 Texas team is really getting to some people here.
3) Agreed, as I've said multiple times now in this thread.
4) What "facts" have you posted here? I haven't seem much beside "X team could compete with Y team", or "team X would be 7-5 with team Y's schedule". I think you are confusing "facts" with opinions, and well, that seems to be pretty standard on a message board.
Typical Hawk troll pretending to be Cyclone fan spending his time on CF questioning the sanity of Cyclone fans spending their time on CF.
Agreed. Especially when you're a top 10 program. It hasn't been as easy as it may have been though with several of our best players out or playing on one leg. We'll go with easyish.
Fact, Duke is un-ranked in the AP Top 25. Fact, Pittsburgh is un-ranked in the AP Top 25. Fact, Iowa fans really "Do Care" what the rest of us think. (Drops mic)
You're not fooling anyone. No one believes you actually think Memphis deserves a higher ranking than Iowa, because that would be stupid. Really, really, really stupid.
Do me a favor and pick up the mic back up and tell me what those teams were ranked a week ago when we were discussing them. Also, give a preemptive shout out to Wisconsin for being ranked next week assuming they beat Maryland (as you apparently can see into the future when it comes to rankings).
Also, lets hear some more "facts" about Stanford and how they aren't really a good win for someone.
Just keep that mic holstered.

Top 10 team, not top 10 program. To be a top 10 program like ISU basketball you have to ranked more than once every 5 seasons
He's got a point there. Iowa wrestling - top 10 program. Iowa football - no (but three years from now if they've been in and out of the top 10 or on the fringe a few more times then yes)
