Graham Couch: Iowa Basketball is a mid-major roster

[CyTwins]

This thread is ********.

The only hope is the day the title gets changed to:

Iowa Basketball Is A Mid-Major Roster

 

[MeowingCows]

But I thought all Iowa fans were idiots, so why does it matter what poll they use?

So you're admitted that they're all idiots, then?

Glad we've reached an accord.

According to Fran yes, idiots and morons

 

[benjimill]

I'm not an idiot and I use the AP poll...

That is certainly open to interpretation

He has certainly made better arguments than you have, so I'd be careful about who you call an idiot.

Iowa has the best football and basketball teams in the state. Those are literally irrefutable facts.

I thought this was a joke at first. Then I realized that this is a guy that continues to register new names to post on the site of a team he doesn’t care about

 

[Cat Stevens]

Its because we actually finished in the top 10 and the top 25. Not in the receiving votes area.......

On what poll?

 

[Thinker]

That makes no sense

Nothing in this thread does!

 

[Thinker]

On what poll?

The AP poll, the poll ISU uses now that they have had a winning season and are the best program in the state.

So the ap poll counted then, but not now?

Who would have thought using the AP poll to judge a team would be so controversial

If that is the only thing you guys are using then that is fine. I can live with that. I just know there are other forms of media and systems of ranking out there that are more reliable in this day and age that I was told to use more by this sites posters not to long ago. Funny how a year can change things.

It's been exhausting catching up on this thread today.

Awe, how cute. Cytwins references something that Iowa fans reference and now someone is trying to destroy the credibility of the rating system they always reference all because it doesn't fit your agenda. This sure is comical.

It’s ******* amazing how far they go, even shiting on themselves, to tell us how little we matter.

What's your preferred metric to use then?

Is it just me, or...........

I'm thinking they could be father and son.........

Its reverse psychology. I tease about it because that is what all ISU fans did until they had a winning season and had a higher vote total in a system that is used for ranking the top 25. ISU fans used to scream about SOS and this and that until this last year and use a poll such as saragin. It is interesting to see. SO when you think we are trying to tell you how little you matter, you are in fact referencing the way clone fans have discredited Iowa for years telling us how little we matter.

For what? votes? rankings? actual computer models? there are way to many. For this site I will go with the AP if you want it to be like that. Iowa has shown fairly well in the AP over history of actually being in the top 25. You seem to like it to justify that ISU was better than Iowa last year. Why should we use anything different?

OK I'm on board with this
