Iowa Football Recruiting

lol, I've heard it all now. Better move on to a different argument. You are really struggling with this one. So sad.

Look at how Sagarin determines his SOS. Just look at his site it is all right there in black and white. The reason isu had the SOS they did was because of playing a 10 win Iowa team in the non-conference. Are you saying Sagarin is a liar? Better watch out Twins will tear you apart for that.
 
Yeah but he's not wrong. Sagarin SOS rankings are based on the Sagarin team rankings of your opponents. A few years ago ISU fans were talking about their high Sagarin SOS ranking, but then scoffed at Iowa's #10 final Sagarin ranking. If it weren't for Iowa's #10 ranking, ISU's SOS ranking wouldn't have been as high as it was. Can't have one without the other.

Twins says it is stupid to use one rating, that we should use a composite of multiple ratings. I think he is onto something here.

No but 1 team doesn't make up the entire SOS ranking. I know it's hard for you to imagine this, but the world doesn't revolve around Iowa. I know you arrogant aholes struggle with that.
 
You mean everyone uses 247 COMPOSITE rankings? Oh sure, that makes sense. you take more than just one ranking, that would be Cherry picking to just pick out one, no matter what the reason was. Thanks for helping me out, I'm switching to the COMPOSITE RANKING OF SEVERAL SITES.

So I'm cherry picking by using the AP Poll? Also why do you keep ignoring my Purdy question?

Clone fans will say that is wrong in 3...2...1

I love how you guys run to our site to try to justify your pathetic division. Whatever you need to do to help you sleep at night I guess. Frankly I think it's sad. I hope you get the help you need.

Still waiting for those "non-essential" health services to open back up.

Stay in the Big 12 where you can tie for 3rd instead of finishing 4th in the Big Ten West.

Hang tough brother. Maybe stop hanging out with low IQ, arrogant, Hawk fans who live in a fantasy world. Your quality of life will improve drastically.

Yes, yes you are cherry picking, you said as much yourself. No need to argue it further, I agree with you that looking at several metrics makes much more sense!
 
Wow that Purdy question wrecked you lol

Not at all. Just trying to weigh the pros and cons of having Purdy.

Pro: More passing yards, higher YPA, better competition rate. I'm still trying to convert that over to Big10 stats when playing real defenses though. It is complicated you don't understand metrics so you wouldn't get it.

Cons: Turnover machine, turnovers kill teams. Not clutch, and Iowa plays a lot of close games.

I'll keep mulling this one over, it is close right now.

Way too early to tell. I'm always in favor of red shirting most freshman at places like Iowa, but sometimes they are too good to keep off of the field.
Agreed. Most should redshirt. Especially anyone up front. Didn't know if someone caught your eye that you thought might push for early playing time
