Akron didn’t have the same number of wins as Northwestern last year. No where did I say head to head was the only criteria. I said if the teams had the same number of wins the better team was the one who won head to head while playing a more difficult schedule. I would ignore that part of the discussion as well if I were you.

In 2017 it’s reasonable to believe that the teams were pretty equal in talent. I don’t think either had a clear edge. Isn’t it more reasonable to use had to head results on the field as the tiebreaker vs subjective rankings?
Well he is better today than CMC as he has the record to prove it.
No that doesn’t fit CyTwins’ narrative so he has to find something that does. The same will occur this year. The only question is what retroactive criteria will he insist on using this time next year?
It will be this one. Do you ban people for posting the truth?
If it wasn't Iowa's Super Bowl the head to head would be much more meaningful to me in comparing seasons
You also think Mack Brown and Gene Chizik are better than Kirk Ferentz and Matt Campbell so we all know how to view your opinion on the subject
Not sure I would want a coach that doesn't want to put effort in to win every game on the schedule.
I'd rather have a coach emphasize conference games over a non conference game but we can agree to disagree
It is an encouraging sign if you ask me. Haven't had to worry about the hok game and it's impact on our national position in the past. Now that we have established ourselves at the top of the Big XII with expectations for high rankings and a say in CFP, we have to focus on every game.
If your are shooting for 8-4, doesn't really matter. If you are shooting for 10-2/11-1, it is a big game.
Has to be tough having this game mean something for ISU and it's national aspirations while not really being a factor for ToE and the 'chase' for the B1G West.
There are a lot of coaches better than CMC. KF just happens to be one of them.
Iowa knows how much it means to isu regardless of what isu’s national aspirations appear to be. When the clones win against the Hawks in Ames you all storm the field.
