I feel like Groundhog Day. We have to explain it to the Hawk fans who show up here banging their chests in May about a top 10ish class, only to have it finish just like all their other classes.
This thread is kinda like this tire. It had a lot of traction when it was new, but over time and repeated posts (hawks repeatedly bringing up the same thing) on here, this thread has worn down and has lost control. Mods need to retire this thread get a new one and properly inflate (control) the egos of the hawk trolls on here.
Isn't it listed on the NCAA website page of national champions? Seems like a weird thing to try denying.

Was this pre helmet days? That would explain a lot.
I don’t think it has been this high on a player average basis. From my recollection, past rankings this early have been due to high quantity of commits.
Iowa’s recruiting has been on a pretty steady climb the last 3 or 4 years. Certainly possible Iowa ends up with a Top 30 or borderline Top 25 class this year if they can finish strong.
I’d say you could make a reasonable argument for Ferentz to be anywhere from 1st to 4th in the Big Ten West. I personally would probably have him 2nd behind Chryst, but I think there are reasonable arguments for Fleck and Fitzgerald to be higher.
It's a national title, whether or not people believe it's justified is debatable, but if the NCAA views it as a title then it is one.
LOL, Sagarin ratings again. Does Sagarin own this site or something?
Iowa played 16 bowl eligible teams over the last 2 years, while ISU has played 15. Any team that can't get bowl eligible is a cupcake pure and simple.
You seriously don't know that there were 5 computer metrics that were used in the computer rankings? None was weighted greater than the other, they were all used. I wonder why they didn't just rely on Sagarin if it is so super duper awesome and correct?
Some other hawk troll by the banned names of FightForIowa, Yeahbuddy etc. worshipped the ground he walked on.
I bet all your co workers at McDonald's love that joke.
See, I can be as lame as you. Wanna move onto yo momma jokes next?
There are different levels to cupcake status because there is a huge difference between a 5-7 team and a 2-10 team.
No not really. Sure you might beat LMU 72-20, and WVU 38-10. So yeah the degree of victory might be different, but you shouldn't lose to a non bowl eligible team.
