Iowa Football Recruiting

Guess how many top 25 teams the Big 10 champ has played in their regular season conference schedule the last 4 seasons. Go ahead, guess.

From '16-'19 the Big10 champion played 9 conference games against teams that finished in the AP top 25.

Thanks for proving my point. From '16-'19 both the Big10 and the Big12 champ played 2 teams each year basically that finished in the AP top 25. Why do ISU fans bash Iowa's 2015 schedule that included 2 top 25 teams in conference play? Only 2 times over the past 5 years have the Big12 and Big10 conference champions played 3 conference opponents that finished in the AP top 25 (OU in '20 and OSU in '19)

I look at my calendar and it says 2021. It is almost as if you are ignoring a season... For the record nobody is saying winning the Big 10 is easy. Literally every person is only referencing the Big 10 West.

LOL, OSU played 4 less conference games than Big12 teams in 2020.

So the adjusted schedule only matters when referencing the B1G, but you conveniently ignore that when you bring up 4 win Oregon over and over and over...

So the Big10 West Division Champ from '16-'19 played 9 conference opponents that were ranked in the final AP top 25.

Put it in your recruiting thread. You seem insecure that this 4 star TE might go to Iowa.

Not sure if you noticed, but this is an Iowa State message board. Want Iowa only talk? Go to your own board then and be gone from here troll

I said in a post that in '20 OU and in '19 OSU are the only years over the last 5 years that a Big12 or Big10 champ played 3 conference teams that finished in the AP top 25

The games that got canceled were Michigan, Maryland, and Illinois. I will tell you what, feel free to count those as wins lol

Without a pandemic OSU was scheduled to play top 25 teams Indiana and Iowa.

Sorry I am forced to cite their actual schedule and not their theoretical schedule. You make a good point. But what we have determined is that is pretty equally hard to win the Big 10 and the Big 12. So hard that no Big 10 West team has ever done it.

Yeah the Big10 really screwed the pooch dealing with the pandemic. I am jealous of the fact that the Big12, ACC and SEC all dealt with it 100000000x better than the Big10 and played virtually a full schedule.

Either way the point it that most of the time over the last 5 years the Big10 and Big12 champs both typically played 2 conference opponents that finished in the AP top 25. The Big10 West and East divisional champs each played 9 conference teams over 4 years ('16-19) that were ranked in the final AP top 25.

BTW - A Big 12 team has played tOSU more times in the last 5 years than Iowa has.

What a time frame lol

They chose to duck Illinois even though they had the required personnel to play. To me that's a forfeit but as we all know the BiG went out of their way to prop up tOSU over the rest of the conference.

I mean, they changed the rules for them.

state of Iowa. Thanks.

Whenever Iowa fans run smack about it being Texas and everyone else in this league, always remember they are also at Ohio state’s whim

 

[Nate STANley]

Dual threat 4 star. Would revolutionize Iowa’s offensive scheme and I’m all for it.
