Iowa Football Recruiting

[cycloner29]

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?

As a hawk troll on CF, you and your posts are a joke.

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.

I mean a loss is a loss, but you can't actually sit there and think you'd have the same exact feeling after a loss to 5-7 Purdue, compared to a loss against a 2-10 Rutgers. Both are losses that realistically shouldn't happen, but only one is flat-out embarrassing.

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?

You keep mentioning these 7 SOS metrics but won't tell anyone but they are. That's all I need to know

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.

Great rebuttal, straw man.

Use any metric you want. There were 5 bad teams in the Big Ten.

Do you know how easy it is to become bowl eligible in the Big Ten West? I mean Frost almost did it last year

 

[CyTwins]

There are different levels to cupcake status because there is a huge difference between a 5-7 team and a 2-10 team.

Which is why we had a much harder strength of schedule

You also can't sit there and say your SOS is sooo tough because ISU beat two 5-7 teams a 4-8 team and a 3-9 team. To claim that is soooo much tougher than Iowa beating a 5-7 team a 4-8 team a 3-9 team and a 2-10 team while playing 1 more bowl eligible team, is just Clone fantasy.

I have linked it like 4 or 5 times. Just because you aren't that bright and can't remember it (or at least for some reason feel like you need to pretend you don't remember every time) isn't my problem.

You mean a weaker SOS according to 5 out of 7 reputable SOS metrics.

This is a lie. You made them up otherwise you'd link them

You should banned for lying IMO

Wanna make a bet on if I have linked them before? Name the terms. If you aren't willing to bet, it just proves you already know I have linked them multiple times. Put up or shut up Twins.

I don't bet on an internet message board but yes if I did I would because you're lying. No way there are 7 reputable SOS metrics out there and 5 of them have Iowa's schedule harder. The only two I know of are Sagarin which is the best and Massey which I don't use and both say Iowa State had a much harder schedule

Nicely done, already hedging your bet. You accused me of making up the metrics, and you so every deftly hedged that portion out now. Kuddos sir. If only @cycloner29 had 1/2 your savvy he might be worth engaging.

You absolutely made up those 7 metrics

 

[CyTwins]

Iowa had a tougher SOS in a 5 out of 7 reputable SOS metrics.

Like I said. You're a liar

Just link them dude JFC.

He can't. These "7 reputable SOS metrics" don't exist which is why he will never link it

I love how you only "know" the two that rated ISU SOS tougher as well. The other 5 had the following:

Iowa 19, ISU 26
Iowa 23, ISU 37
Iowa 21, ISU 22
Iowa 12, ISU 21
Iowa 9, ISU 36

I think I'll also cherry pick and say that Iowa's final SOS was #9 and ISU was 36.

What are those numbers from?
