All Iowa Football Team---Post Bowl Edition

[Brodie0]

How was I deflecting? I was responding to a direct quote about a Sun Belt school by saying a Sun Belt school was better than over half the teams Iowa plays this year.

It's not a deflection and it's an actual fact that you can't even refute at the moment.

It’s literally not a fact though.

Iowa has made the tournament 3 times in 10 years under Fran. No that's not good

Iowa has had a NCAA quality team 5 of the last 7 years. Prohm has had a NCAA quality team the last 3 out of 5 years. Maybe Prohm can make the next two NCAA's and catch Fran.

It is 4 times and he was guaranteed 5 times before covid hit. I can't put the covid pandemic on Fran. But you do you.

I'll give you 4 because Iowa would have been an 8 seed this past year. My point stands. 4 in 10 years is not good

Just ream my signature. Game over.

It varies by year for sure. This year the Big12 is hot garbage, but a few years ago it was fairly tough. The majority of reputable SOS metrics say Iowa SOS was tougher last year. They say ISU's was tougher in '18, Iowa's was tougher in '17 and '16. So basically 3 of the last 4 years Iowa's was tougher.

By what degree? Very small margin if we are being honest. I mean these SOS metrics are all over the place. In the same year you have at least one of the metrics saying the opposite of these results. SOS metrics are pretty much a joke, and resting your hat on them is a complete joke. Yet it seems that is all ISU fans do, so it means so do the Hawk fans here. There is nothing more valuable to a ISU fan than SOS, they can tell themselves just how awesome they could be if they were just somewhere else.

7 out of the 14 teams in the Big 10 are either ranked or are receiving votes. 7 out of the 10 teams in the Big 10 are either ranked or receiving votes.

ULL is a better team than 5 of the 8 schools on Iowa's schedule this year.

they'd be the best team in the Big 12?

Don't show @Legend Hawk this, he may lose his mind. He thinks the Big10 and especially the Big10 west is a meat grinder

I'm on mobile. Like I said, 4 out of 10 isn't good

Some great work by Gookin

LOL, what is you guys and "receiving a vote". I mean my gosh, the AP top 25 is 25 teams, not 50 teams.

I love how this Alex Gookin kid has become a Cyclone legend because he discovered Sagarin. priceless

 

[Statefan10]

No? They're better than Nebraska, Illinois, Purdue, Northwestern and Michigan State though.

It's not a "you guys" thing. It's pretty universal

LOL a ISU fan saying ISU SOS is just sooo tough, pretty original. I mean I wonder where he came up with this stuff. If that you, are you this Gooken guy?

 

[TRYHARDER]

No? They're better than Nebraska, Illinois, Purdue, Northwestern and Michigan State though.

Now compare them to the BIG 12 teams

 

[Statefan10]

LOL, what is you guys and "receiving a vote". I mean my gosh, the AP top 25 is 25 teams, not 50 teams.

I'll dumb it down for you. 50% of the Big 10 has teams that have received votes for being a top 25 team. 70% of the Big 12 has teams that have received votes for being a top 25 team.

holy hell. I hope this Gookin character doesn't discover that you're actually rated in the AP poll.

 

[iahawks]

No? They're better than Nebraska, Illinois, Purdue, Northwestern and Michigan State though.

So they are better than Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Kansas St., Texas Tech, Baylor, TCU and WVU?

You are triggered. Yikes
