Per Jon Miller Iowa>Bucky

The irony of this thread is pretty funny.

And I watched this game with my in-laws, who are big badger fans, and they couldn't believe uw pulled it out. They thought Iowa was the better team.

I thought it was a great game between two even teams. Sucked to lose, but Iowa has won their fair share of those games under KF, so you're bound to lose a few. Just sucks it be was sorry a teophy (likely 2).
What?

There is no way to know who is #26 if AP voters didn't vote for 26 teams. The votes totals wold be completely different if all the voters now submitted for 26 teams instead of 25. If the AP voted for the top 30, then there is no #31. If the AP voted for the top 50, there is no #51.

How do you not understand this? I get that someone without education might think it is static, and well the next amount of votes is ranked #26. If you have a college education I'd think you would understand why this isn't the case though.

This is hilarious.
 
They beat us at our house. No poll changes that result. We may have been better by the end of the year (not convinced either way) but we will never know.


Am I off, but you seem to side with hawks quite a bit here. You may say you are rational, but I get the feeling of underlying closet hawk fan from you.

No way. I just call it as I see it. ISU grad and sent 2 kids there.
When we beat Iowa on the field or court and they tell me they are still better I want to kill random babies. I can't change my tune when it's the other way around.
I bet $100 on Iowa to beat Wisky and was SO happy I lost. I want them to suck so bad that they have to redefine the word "suck".

That wasn't very smart

In hindsight, all losing bets are not "smart". I paid $100 for Iowa to lose...smart in my book.
I won $200 on ISU-Iowa so I had play money.

Gambling isn't a smart endeavor anyway.
 
Because they were ranked highly preseason...another example with what’s wrong with the AP poll. How does VTech even receive votes after losing to Old Dominion? Because they beat FSU, which is crap but was ranked preseason

Gary Parish does a weekly "Poll Attacks" during basketball season and absolutely crushes voters for their stupidity. I always look forward to that popping up on my Twitter feed. I wonder if anyone does it for football?

They don't rank 26 teams, Colorado is just a team that isn't in the top 25 that got some votes. You literally can't know if they were gonna be #26 if the voters voted for a top 50 lets say.



An ISU education is beginning to look comical if you people really don't understand this.

So you think all teams not in the top 25 are equal? Like Colorado and ISU are equal even though Colorado is receiving the 26th most votes in the country?

When did I say that? I am only saying the AP only ranks a top 25, there is no #26. For instance Iowa is NOT the #32 team right now because they are 7th on the list for others receiving votes.

Well if neither Colorado and Iowa State are in the top 25 how are they not equals in your mind based off the AP Poll?

You are acting desperate now, and it isn't a good look. You are saying that I can't know who is better between say Illinois and ISU because neither are ranked in the AP top 25?
