Matt Campbell vs Hayden Fry

Those Fry fans were the worst. He had them believing they were blue bloods. He is the Super Bowl term starter and such. He is the one who made it rather nasty for the hardcore Hawkeye fans.

Fry was an even better propagandist than he was a football coach.

40% of the teams that would normally be considered for a high ranking in the AP poll basically aren't qualified based on number of games played. I'm hoping that college Bball and Wrestling don't have that same problem. But that might be a big wish.
You mean teams that played 0 games? Because the big ten had teams in there after they played one game
 
Exactly what I said. The PAC 12 and Big 10 were stupid and had a delayed start during a pandemic and missed a lot of games. A lot of those teams won't be ranked where they normally would be based on number of games played and thus shrinking the amount of teams that are qualified for those higher rankings.
Agreed, they are ranked higher due to not having to play full schedules, non cons, or bowl games that they were too scared to play.
 
I've already stated what I was talking about. If you feel it was a normal year, then more power to you.
You do realize Iowa State beat the Pac 12 Champion?

As for the BiG, Ohio state is in the natty and Iowa is top 15 even though they didn't beat anyone with a pulse. How exactly is your conference not represented in the polls?
 
Pretty great year for CMC. Now can he go on a Fry like run where ISU finishes ranked in the top 20 in 8 of the next 11 years winning 3 Conference Championships?

Where is Ferentz at in all this? Wow talk about throwing him under the bus! Guess you just showed that CMC>KKKirk!!
 
Is top 20 the new thing for the next 7 months? Just trying to be prepared

Huh? I post that because Hayden had a string of 11 years starting when he won the Big10 that he finished in between 10-18 in 8 of 11 years. Would ISU fans sign up for that now, or is that not a good enough decade+1 of football at ISU?

I have a feeling if Iowa was better than Louisiana it would be top 15 referenced the most. I assume now it will be top 20

Um, this is a thread about Fry and CMC. You should know this, you started the thread.

Now will you answer the question or just keep dodging it?
 
So before this year ISU hasn't finished in the AP top 18 EVER, but you wouldn't take 8 #10-#18 finishes over the next 11 years?

You might want to reset your expectations.
You're asking me to be OK if Campbell stays for the next 11 years to have 2020 be his best season? No thanks
 
If Campbell is here in 11 years and his best season was #9 in 2020 I'd be disappointed

Do you think the Big12 champion next year finishes better than #9? I mean the Big12 champion hasn't finished lower than #7 since they went to a Championship game.

How would I know? We won the Regular Season Conference Championship and finished #9
