All Iowa Football Team---Post Bowl Edition

Never heard anyone legit use team rankings dot com. Not sure how I'm cherry picking using Sagarin but OK

Well, I checked Sagarin, because in all honesty, I cannot see how the Iowa State schedule could be viewed as the 5th toughest in the nation. You were wrong. It's actually #4 today. Now I'm really confused. Cyclones are WAY higher on Sagarin than anywhere else, but there has to be some sort of metrics behind it. Not sure it means anything, but I guess it's a positive.

Not an expert on Sagarin but those rankings factor in SOS. So ISU playing the #4 schedule according to Sagarin bumps them up in his rankings.

It also helps that almost all of ISU's losses were by 1 possession, I would think.

I'm not surprised we're #4 now. Absolute meat grinder of a schedule

You have to question the entire ranking when they still have OSU #1.

1-6 vs the top 30. Ouch. It was a tough schedule but you should've done better. Iowa 3-3, Texas 3-4, Baylor 4-3. Who do you blame for your disappointing season other than the refs? Coaches, players, recruiting, special teams, all of the above?
 

We lost 6 games, what is your point? I guess everything you posted factors into it. What are you wanting to prove. We had an ok season. Any loss can be attributed to the factors you said. I mean this isn't rocket science.

I included all of the above. Most teams have at least one glaring issue tho. Iowa's was the Guard position for most of the season. I also think some scheme adjustment in the running game is needed and KF pretty much admitted that.

If you're looking for a weakness, I think it's painfully obvious ISU's Oline was the #1 issue.
Cornerback play a distant #2.

Sagarin is the only SOS metric that had ISU regular season schedule tougher than Iowa's, and is the only one that had ISU as even a top 20 SOS I believe.

Sagarin rankings are a joke, even @CyTwins will tell you that, so their SOS is then based on a joke.

Ok I think play calling sucked, and special teams was far from adequate minus Assally.
