Maryland/Iowa...
- Thread starter Beyerball
- Start date
Haha...I suck at reading lines. Well then I'm going to say:
ISU - 41
Tech - 20
Penn St. - 20
Iowa - 30
Nebraska, Purdue, Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State, Indiana, Maryland, Wisconsin, Northwestern, Minnesota, Illinois and Rutgers all added transfers this offseason
Better than Penn State according to Iowa fan's favorite FPI. They were top 20 defensively until the ISU game actually
#18 by a metric I was looking at before the ISU game. Believe they dropped 10+ spots after that. The Brock Purdy effect.
By looking at the records of who beat who in the pre season for the BIG 12, there is not really much to brag about. Everyone is pretty darn average, to above average.
Saying ISU would beat Iowa with Purdy may be true, but a good coaching staff would have played him right away. A good coaching staff beats Iowa right? And Iowa has not beaten anyone good with the terrible schedule..... Why do ISU fans put their own team down so much?
Texas BARELY beats anyone they have played and are ranked 7th?!?! they are like Iowa of 2015, except with a loss and a brand name to boost rank.

How so? It's their Super Bowl and we were seriously handicapped going into that game. Anyone who follows college football is going to know that
Speaking of Superbowl.....you guys scheduling a bye in week 2 to prep for the Iowa game? I knew CMC/Pollard were getting desperate for a W but this is crazy desperate. YIKES!!

I'd really prefer Iowa went 0-12 every year.
They figured we should have a bye week so everyone in the State can watch Iowa's newest rivalry game.
Wasn't that because of Iowa and them playing a conference game the week they usually play ISU?
Yes! Plus everyone will have 2 bye weeks next year due to the way the schedule falls.
I'd much rather have two games under our belt like Iowa will have honestly but it won't be a huge disadvantage like it was this year
