A metric is a metric is a metric. Not sure how this year is any different than any other?
It is as accurate as any other year. He is using the same math he has used every other year.
Blahahahaha man I was trying to help you here even. If you think that thing is close to accurate, you even worse than I thought.
Well it looks like the winner of Ohio St v Northwestern will go to the exhibition playoffs. Who is the BIG 12 sending?
Got it, Sagarin is good every year, but this year. So what metric you using this year? Let me guess, one that gives you the results you want.
When it doesn't matter.........what does it matter? If you weren't one of the plethora of Hawks labeling this year an exhibition season after the Purdue game then I guess you wouldn't know what I speak of.
The Big 12 is playing for real......just like tOSU and NW. I was just trying to get an answer on who else is playing for real in the Big Turd since Iowa is not. Appreciate it.
I have never called this year and exhibition year. Plus a metric is a metric. You play the games, input the data and it spits out it’s results. If Sagarin is the go to metric every other year how can’t it be the go to now?
So you’re disregarding all metrics? I mean, dude, look at those rankings. If you can’t just say, yep that’s messed up, I don’t know what to tell you.
You don't even believe the B10 West is good so stop trolling. The B10 West has 2 ranked team and one that's receiving 15 votes.
Big 10 West - #11 Northwestern, #18 Wisconsin
ACC (no divisions this year) - #2 Notre Dame, #4 Clemson, #10 Miami, #25 UNC
SEC East - #6 Florida, #13 Georgia
SEC West - #1 Alabama, #5 Texas A&M, #22 Auburn
Big 12 (no divisions) - #14 OU, #15 ISU, #20 Texas, #21 OSU
Me disregarding metrics? Not a chance I have been the only one on here that has been saying you need to look at a wide range on metrics and take the consciences of those metrics. I have been shouted down and mocked for saying anything other than Sagarin should be looked at. Now you are saying Sagarin is flawed, and we need to look at others? If so I’m glad you finally came around to where I have been at forever now.
Hold On so more ranked teams = better conference? So you would agree that the Big10 West last year with 3 top 15 teams was > Big12 with 2 top 15 teams?
Except for the fact that there have been more games cancelled this year than any year in history and most Big 10 teams have played half the games everyone else has so those types of metrics should get tossed out the window... Washington's defense is technically ranked #3 in the country statistically. Do you actually think that's valid, or do you think that's merely a product of the fact they've played 1 game this entire season? Use your brain.
Ya I don’t know about all of that. All I’m saying is that Sagarin ranking is a clusterf*ck and if you can’t see it, I don’t know what to tell you.
It's refreshing people outside of Iowa City actually care about racism. I think most Iowa fans thought this wouldn't effect recruiting
"We will grow from this"
Not if you don't land any recruits you won't. HOK needs a running back in the worst way and they can't find one. They can't convince a kid to come run 30 times a game behind that line. That's pathetic. They are a pound the rock team and most RBs would rather play for Leach than KKKirk.
they always find a moral victory in everything. hard to see one here.
