Usually you try to at least deflect something like this instead of out right ignoring it. It's alright though, hard to get back in the swing of things after a long holiday weekend.

You think that if CMC played 2 conference ranked teams instead of 3, that he would win 11 games? That is what you are saying? The Big12 has had 3 ranked teams in 4 of the last 5 years. If ISU was every one of them, they would face 2 ranked conference opponents.
Are you bragging about beating two unranked teams to pump up your weak schedule? Iowa barely had a top 50 SOS that year and that included USC. That's insane!
You truly are stupid. I don't know how else I can say it but you don't understand what is being discussed here. ISU was terrible last year, CMC wasn't going to win 11 games no matter what the schedule was
They went in to the Big House and put a beatdown on a real good Michigan team though. That is like ISU going into Norman and beating OU by 25 points. Can you imagine the eruption over here if that were to ever happen?
Instead, you got this result.

Two 8 win teams that both beat ranked teams in bowl games? Yeah, I'd say they were both pretty good. Luckily Iowa was a pretty good team that year and helped seal their fate outside the top 25.
I don't think you guys get the fact that when you are one of the top teams in the conference you face one less top 25 team. Iowa has finished in the top 10 5 times under Ferentz. That means Iowa is beating the other teams taking a win from them and keeping them out of the rankings. The Big12 almost always finishes with 3 ranked teams, if ISU was one of them, that means they play 2 ranked teams that year.
You guys literally have no clue how it works when your team is actually a top 25 team. That means you beat the bad teams and mediocre team. That is what makes you top 25. OU, OSU and WV the Big12's top teams all played 2 conference top 25 teams. That is it, that is how easy the Big12 is for the top teams.

Iowa also lost at home to ISU and got destroyed in a bowl game (shocking). Sometimes you play really good sometimes you play really bad. Iowa was very fortunate that year to play such a weak schedule, even you can agree with that
Oklahoma St had a SOS of 52 and played 2 ranked conference teams and won 10 games.
And would have been higher than that if they had an additional win, somewhere around 9 win (and ranked) VT, Pitt, Colorado (who lost to Wisc in the bowl game), FSU, Virginia, or WV. Certainly above CSU, BC, etc.
This isn't that hard.
Yep, but they play in the rugged unforgiving best conference in the world in the almighty Big 12. Same conference that had less draft picks than the AAC this year. LOL!!
Yeah if they would have won more games they would have been ranked higher. In depth stuff here. Too bad Wisconsin lost to a horrible Indiana team and lost at home to a poor Illinois team
Yep they were pretty good. They took advantage of a favorable schedule and kudos to them for that
The top teams in the Big12 have an easy path every year. They play 2 conference top 25 opponents is all. So if CMC were to ever finish in the top 10 in year 4 like Ferentz did, odds actually say that there is a 80% chance that ISU played 2 conference top 25 opponents.
