All Iowa Football Team---Post Bowl Edition

You went 1-5 vs bowl eligible teams, and 0-3 vs top 25 teams. You would have gone 0-4 vs top 25 teams playing Iowa schedule and 2-5 vs bowl eligible teams. 7-5 vs Iowa's schedule is what you would have been.

Iowa beat 1 top 20 team, so Iowa would have gone 1-1 vs OU and Baylor. Iowa didn't lose to a team ranked outside the top 20, so Iowa goes 10-0 vs the rest of ISU scheduled. Iowa is 11-1 vs ISU schedule.

Yes if Iowa played a significantly harder schedule they'd win more and if ISU got a cupcake schedule instead of a top 8 schedule they'd win the same amount. Lol!

Iowa would face fewer top 20 teams, those are the only teams they loss to this year. Why would Iowa all of a sudden lose to teams outside the top 20?

What teams outside the top 20 did Iowa face this year? Big difference between playing a team like Iowa State and winning due to a phantom holding call and playing #77 Illinois or #93 Miami (OH)
 
Wisconsin probably. A Brock Purdy led team with fresh legs beats Michigan, Penn State and Minnesota
LOL. Campbell shouldn't have used him up so much against ULM so he could've been fresh for the Baylor game. Huge coaching mistake IMO.

Lol so according to you if you beat the #19 team then you would automatically go 1-1 vs top 5 teams? It all makes sense now.

They'd avoid injuries and be fresh playing a cupcake schedule instead of a top 8 schedule
Michigan - Penn St back to back and Wisconsin - Minnesota back to back. All top 25 teams. No back to back top 25 match-ups for the clones. I'd say the Hawks would be 12-1 or 11-2 with that schedule and a good FG kicker like Duncan.

Imagine thinking you'd do better vs a much more difficult schedule and a team getting a cupcake schedule would do worse. Think about that logic for a second

Ok, lets say we lose that game, we go 10-2 vs ISU schedule. Either way we didn't lose a game to a team outside the top 14 actually, so we go 10-0 vs the rest of ISU schedule.

I don't think anyone on here thinks Iowa would have any issues beating ULM, UNI, WVU, Tech, Texas, ISU, Kansas, TCU, OSU, and K-State. Iowa beat every team outside of the top 14 they played, and none of those teams are close to being a top 14 team.

So Texas A&M would beat Iowa. Got it

It took an official for you to beat Iowa State and you barely beat two bad teams in Purdue and Nebraska. Playing a lot more teams like ISU/TCU/Oklahoma State etc is going to greatly increase your chances to lose instead of facing a bunch of Illinois, Purdue, Northwestern, Nebraska, etc type teams

Not even sure what you are talking about an official cost you the game vs Iowa.

Easy to beat non bowl teams like Purdue, Northwestern, Nebraska, TCU, WVU, Tech, and Kansas. Not even sure why you would try to troll that Iowa would lose to any of them.

Iowa would do better. Iowa is a better football team. Iowa beat Iowa State at Iowa State (Iowa State's Super Bowl with home field advantage).

don't forget the super bowl bye week

Yeah Iowa had a huge disadvantage in that game, with ISU having that extra week to prepare for Iowa. They overcame a lot that game, the extra prep time for ISU, the weather, the hostile crowd, and the bad officiating as well.
