All Iowa Football Team---Post Bowl Edition

[CyTwins]

At 10-2 we could be playing a team like Virginia, instead we're 7-5 playing Notre Dame.. Unreal what Jamie Pollard has done for this school.

He'll go down as the greatest AD the state of Iowa has ever seen

I'm not trying to prove Iowa is better, that isn't a debate at all. We are ranked #16 and we beat you in Ames, there is no debate about who is better.

Yet you open yourself for more chasing of your tail. Enjoy your cheese.

I'm not chasing anything, Iowa is 9-3 and ranked #16. Iowa went 4-3 vs Bowl teams. ISU is 7-5 and only played 6 bowl eligible teams and only beat 1 of them.

Jamie got Notre Dame into the Camping World bowl?

Jamie got Notre Dame into the Camping World bowl?

Yes. He pitched Notre Dame vs Purdy to the bowl representatives and they fell in love with the idea

 

[dexterhawk]

We'd be a much more rested team going into every game so not sure how that is a fantasy

Plenty of rest for the Iowa game with the Super Bowl bye week. Probably helped keep it close to be honest

Unless you could swap schedules which you can't. A man can wish though. Going into a bowl looking at a possible 11th win would be sweet

None of us will live long enough to see that unless the Clones somehow end up in the MAC conference. I honestly think you'd dominate there.

Is there really much of a difference between a MAC schedule and a Big Ten West schedule? The Big Ten West schedule would be more top heavy with Wisconsin but we all saw what a MAC team did to the Big Ten West Champs last year

Jamie Pollard told us that if you take away Texas and OU, that the Big12 is the Mountain West, and Texas has sucked now for a decade.

We just played one of the hardest conference schedules in the country but OK

They won the Sugar Bowl last year lol

Don't be so dramatic, you played 6 bowl teams this year, Iowa played 7.

Imagine having to reference playing Illinois over and over to justify your schedule

Imagine having to reference Mountain West teams over and over to justify your schedule. Jamie says that OSU, K-State, TCU, Tech, Kansas, WVU, and Baylor are "Mountain West" teams

Link to Pollard saying that?

Pollard understands where ISU stands, but yikes those are some really harsh things to say about ISU. If I said those things on here, you guys would bash the heck out of me.

“The Big 12 exists because we’ve got Texas and Oklahoma in the room. If we take Texas and Oklahoma out of the room, we’re the Mountain West Conference, and we’re gonna get $3 Million.”

So Pollard doesn't think Oklahoma State is a Mountain West team?

 

[TheJackWePack5]

No. I'd bet the over on that but I think 8 is about the ceiling.

Nah.

The core of the team were underclassmen, so there’s a solid chance of winning 9.

OSU isn't OU.

Pollard did say:

"The only difference between ISU and schools that didn't get in is that ISU is already in the Big 12." Yikes!
