All Iowa Football Team---Post Bowl Edition

[Legend Hawk]

I do not understand your logic. I’m talking bowls and we keep getting top ten or just outside the top ten teams and Iowa gets an unranked USC who starts a backup QB.

Nice try. ISU went 7-6 playing a weaker schedule than Iowa played who won 10 games.

Still wish we would done better in the bowl. Tough when you get an almost top ten ten. Need to get unranked teams like Iowa.

Its been 3 bowl games ago since Iowa played an unranked team in their bowl.

Slovis was the best QB we faced all season.

 

[BCClone]

Slovis was the best QB we faced all season.

Then imagine how good their starter was with the drop there was from 2nd to third string QB in that game.

You played an unranked team this year. The hawks on here say the only ranking you can use is their end of year ranking. USC is unranked. Not sure who Iowa played the previous three years.

For bowl games the regular season rankings is what matters. I mean giving a team a rating bump by losing to them shouldn't give you any pride man. I will give you a pass on not knowing this as ISU is new to being a bowl quality program now.

You mean the QB who led USC to their best win of the year?

You can disagree HawkPBJ, but I honestly have no idea who the hawks played the three previous bowls.

What does the 22 next to USC and the 18 next to Mississippi St mean then in the below links?

Iowa beat unranked Boston College in the 2017 Pinstripe Bowl, #18 Mississippi State in the 2019 Outback Bowl and #22 USC in the 2019 Holiday Bowl.

That is the rank before the end of the season. We have been informed that you have to wait after the bowl games to know. Just using your own precedents.

I dont think I have ever said that.

 

[iahawks]

Slovis was the best QB we faced all season.

yep, Tanner Morgan was the second best qb.

 

[JohnnyHopkins]

3 teams for the B1G West in the top 15.

3 teams from the Big 12 in the top 25.

Hmm.. Even with that, Iowa State didn't get any AP votes.

How does a team with an elite QB, best freshman RB in the country, better WR's, TE's and defense than Iowa not end up as one of the top 40 teams in the country?

Pretty poor job by Campbell IMO.

nasty schedule and bad refs! LOL

 

[jmb]

USC would have finished ranked had they played ISU in a bowl.

Bingo. Bad luck too

 

[CyTwins]

Who was the 3rd?

 

[TheJackWePack5]

3 teams for the B1G West in the top 15.

3 teams from the Big 12 in the top 25.

7 Big 12 teams in the sagarin top 38.

Only one team outside of the top 52.

You seriously can’t take a week off in this conference. Crazy.

For comparison in the Big Ten you might have 5 chances to play a team outside of the top 68.
