right. You say it's not Iowa so by process of elimination it must be UNI. The only other team that views ISU as a football rivalry.

As long as we can agree we don't care about the Iowa game while over 75% of Iowa fans would rather beat Iowa State than win the West I can get on board with this

Notice - "in-state" Superbowl. Of course it is. You eliminated UNI from contention 2 weeks ago.
So question, if Iowa State beats Iowa in regulation, or dare I say only 2 overtimes, does that make UNI better than Iowa? Because that's how some Iowa fan's logic seems to be currently..
 
To be fair, he was talking about the environment and he isn't wrong. ISU fans treat this like the in state super bowl.
I think you're understating how Iowa treats this game, or has treated it in the past. Since Iowa has won the last 4, Iowa fans down play it as this game isn't a big deal, but when the series was back and forth (the last 20 years), Iowa fans were just as hyped for this game as ISU fans.

While the transitive property is a really good predictor, like all things here, it will be decided by AP votes or Sagarin ratings (per personal opinion of that day), and be debated for the next 12 months.

I'll give you a great answer. No, if Iowa State beats Iowa in less than 3 OT's, it does not mean UNI is better than Iowa. Lol

At that point does it really matter? ISU would have beat them both.
 
Are those schools aware of this?
Both Kansas State and Iowa State call the game Farmageddon. Missouri and Iowa State played for The Telephone Trophy.

Iowa and Nebraska literally created a trophy game the first time they ever played when Nebraska joined the Big 10 because they really really badly wanted to create a rivalry between the two schools.

So a trophy means a rivalry? I dont think Michigan considers Minnesota a rival.

KSU just recently beat ISU 10 straight times until the 2018 game. There has to be some competitiveness to be considered a rivalry, IMO.

ISU and Nebraska rivals? Dont even know where to start with that one.
