The Fran fade

The reason for the asterisk is because of the pandemic. The pandemic caused WA to miss several games but based on the games they played, they finished above Oregon. In a normal year, Oregon would not have been in the Pac 12 championship. They were the "representative of the North division" because WA was unable to play. Those are the words of the Pac 12. Not winner of the North division, "Representative".
So we faced the second place team in the North Division who beat the best team in the Pac 12 and won the Pac 12 title? Got it

Oregon had 2 losses in conference. Washington, USC and Colorado had 1 loss.

Oregon only got to play that game because of a pandemic. If that isn't deserving of an asterisk, nothing is.

Have you heard anymore on the lawsuit? Last I knew, they were going to pursue the suit. Haven't heard anything for a few months now.
I haven't. I'm just hoping for justice for the victims. I assume Iowa will try to settle out of court

But then they won the postseason championship game which is a bigger deal than what you did in conference play I've been told

Let's say Alabama was unable to play in the playoff this year because of Covid. Texas A&M replaces them and then goes on to win it. Is Texas A&M the rightful champion or do you put an asterisk next to it because Alabama was unable to play?
 
Im so confused by Hawk fan logic. Pac12 the regular season only matters but for the Big12 only the conference championship game mattered?
In order to get to the championship game, you have to perform well in conference games, correct? Washington was the best performing team in the Pac 12 North division, given they only had 1 loss. You get an asterisk when you make the championship game only because the team that finished with a better record than you, can't play due to Covid. In any normal year, USC and WA would have been playing in that game and Oregon would have stayed home.
 
Lol, Twins has you talking about the best ISU football team in history in a bball thread while Iowa has a legit top 10 team and ISU is a dumpster fire. You're getting played son.
I've got plenty of time to talk about both. He's just upset about the asterisk next to the best season in ISU history.

Somebody is definitely upset by ISU's best season. Why would you spend hours talking about it?

By this logic ISU fans must be super pissed about Iowa's perfect regular season and RSCC in 2015. I mean you guys still cheer for the Stanford Cyclones and talk about that game to this day.

In a normal year Washington and Oregon would have played and Oregon gives Washington their second loss so Oregon would have played in the CCG in a normal year.

It's amusing that Iowa fans talked so much trash about Stanford because of a common opponent. It's like a team can't lay an egg at the beginning of the year and improve as the season goes along.

This is so stupid and beneath you. You guys were pounding your chests about OSU and the B10.
