Iowa Football Recruiting

Yeah I can totally understand that, it’s tough football to watch. I will say that your post I was replying to had like 5 non Iowa Big 10 teams listed.
True, however only two of those teams were Big 10 West teams. One of them being Wisconsin, who's historically good, and the other Minnesota, who had a very good year last year. I don't think we're beating Wisconsin last year. Minnesota is a maybe because I compare them to Baylor.

And while some teams in the Big 10 are tough to watch, there are some that I really enjoy watching. I really like watching Penn State and Ohio State. Michigan has been fun to watch since Harbaugh has taken over. Purdue has been enjoyable the past couple of years, mostly due to Rondale Moore. And Minnesota was actually a fun team to watch last year, especially in that Penn State game.
 
What do you think the “5” in P5 is referring to?

Notre Dame is grouped with the P5 schools for CFP and New Years 6 bowl selection purposes. But if you want to say Iowa State got demolished by a non-P5 team in their bowl game last year, be my guest. :)

It doesnt change the overall point of your original post though saying the West division does not play hardly any P5 teams in the non-conference.
 
Going to get? I have no idea because I don't know the future. If I did I'd be extremely wealthy. Players I feel that ISU is likely to has a great chance of landing:
Mitchell Evans (TE)
Jaylin Noel (WR)
Aden Kelley (DT)

Players who I think they will be in the running for until the end:
TJ Bollers (DE)
Micah Pettus (OL)
Kyree Young (RB)
Marcus Mbow (OL)
And that kid from Iowa whose blown up recently, he's an OL
OOOF! Sounds like CMC's about to strike out on the recruiting trail. What percentage of these guys do you think he gets? Really bad class so far. Could have used most of these guys.
 
I have to ask.. Who is the other loss coming to besides Iowa then? We lost to Iowa last year so they're automatically built into the loss column. So, you're saying out of Wisconsin, Penn State, Michigan, and Minnesota, Iowa State is only losing one of those? Oklahoma State and Kansas State aren't as good as any of those teams listed above and yet we lost to them..

I understand this is all a hypothetical situation, but I don't think we'd lose 1 game the rest of the year after losing Iowa had we had their schedule. If other people disagree with me that's fine, I just think some are assuming Iowa's schedule was dog s*** or something when in reality it was only a little bit less tough than ours was. A little less tough schedule doesn't give us 3 more victories imo.

Mic drop...

What does Iowa have to be scared of when it comes to isu? I think CMC is a good coach. I really do. On the other hand 7 and 8 wins seasons doesn’t convince me that he will consistently overcome the obstacles isu faces.

Right now Iowa is winning on the field, in the rankings and on the recruiting trail over isu.
I think you and every other Iowa fan know that the current ISU program isn’t your dads ISU program. And while Kirk also started 0-4 against ISU, much like Campbell has vs Iowa, Iowa fans know Campbell’s time is coming and that has you worried. But, since Iowa got lucky last year, you feel like you need to get all your shots in now before the tides turn.

Also, now that everyone on the roster has been recruited by Campbell I expect the program to take an even bigger step forward which is why I think a lot of us clone fans are cautiously optimistic
 
Prepare for the Big 10 West teams to be insanely overrated again in 2020. The whole division plays 2 P5 teams in the non-conference.

When is the last time ISU played a P5 team out of conference that wasn't Iowa? I understand they play 9 conference games now so it might not make sense.
 
Iowa’s class average is 5th in the Big Ten so kind of a weird question to ask but I suppose you can pound your chest..?

Since you seem to like average recruit rating as a way to measure recruiting classes, how does Iowa State stack up in the Big XII?

Benji, go put your IM basketball championship shirt and shut up! You were really puffing your chest out when you were known as Benji on here. Surprised with the new degree from Phoenix U that you would have put your name into the NBA draft. I mean c'mon winning that IM championship and all the that stuff. I am really surprised you can still fit through doors with your big inflated ego.
