Dear America - Iowa Doesn't Care What You Think

CyTwins said:
ISU would be a 3 pt favorite in Bloomington. Your "Indiana is better than ISU because I said so" argument is weak. ISU is bad and Indiana is worse

You referenced sagarin, sites has Indiana above ISU. So what's your argument?

And why don't you link where Indiana would be an underdog - Vegas doesn't set the odds on hypothesis.

To make predictions for upcoming games, simply compare the RATINGS of
the teams in question and allow an ADDITIONAL 3 points for the home
team. Thus, for example, a HOME team with a rating of 92 would be
favored by 5 points over a VISITING team having a rating of 90.
Or a VISITING team with a rating of 89 would be favored by 7 points
over a HOME team having a rating of 79.


61 Iowa State A = 72.26

84 Indiana A = 66.04

Don't you know iowa fans only use the Sagarin ratings for 1/2 of their arguments? The ratings don't work for the other half of them.
 
Is this how bad it's gotten for ISU football? Now you have resorted to blindly claiming you could be an Iowa opponent - since you can't beat Iowa at home all while we're top 10 undefeated and you're a 20+ underdog this weekend.

Tough life.

I'm referencing the same site you're referencing to talk about Iowa's SOS

Iowa State would be a 20 point favorite over Indiana in Bloomington. I will support this with an equal amount of evidence as the statement "Indiana is better than ISU" that has been posted here.

This has to just be a Bode-type troll now. I should stop.

I don't think you understand what blindly means.

How tough of a life is it to have to defend your team on an a rivals site? Little bro is gonna little bro

MSU, like the rest of the B1G, isn't very good

Ohio State won the title and Mich. State beat Baylor last year. This year, TCU and Baylor are worse and the B12 won't be represented in the playoff again.
Ohio State and Michigan State are better than any B12 team, and in OSU's case it's by a long shot.

I don't see the links in here for all these SOS sites

Kansas State is better than Michigan State.

(This statement, true or not, must be taken as true according to Mr. "Indiana is better than ISU". Facts and metrics are not relevant, other than those showing the strength of Iowa's existing SOS [but not their future SOS!].)
