I agree - It is more enjoyable to play vs top competition and prove your worth vs the best. You are a very respected Iowa fan here and I know you will adjust your expectations appropriately. I'm not sure about other Iowa fans though....
ISU fans asking Iowa fans who their best win was….
Iowa fans did it for years if ISU was winning the Cyhawk game.
I'm in the 'get it over with in September' camp and would hate a bowl rematch.
Well that's just sad. Bring them on! Nothing changes if they win. An ISU win would spoil the whole thing for them. It would be glorious!
A win is better than a loss. Now that I've taken Hayden Fry as my personal savior I have seen the light!
It quite possibly is. Weird thing for this board to puff their chest about either way.
Does a duck with a boner drag weeds?
According to FPI power rankings
Iowa State: #34
Iowa: #37
Wisconsin: #43
Rutgers: #49
Illinois: #63
Northwestern: #70
Virtually identical . . . . .
Yes! All of those memories of downed punts and safeties and Cooper Dejean heroics that have been made this year (it WASN'T A FAIR CATCH). Spoiled! Tainted! Too painful to even think about anymore. Little brother proved it was all fool's gold! I would laugh. Kirk would cry. Probably. He cries all the time.
Sargin rankings use margin of victory or defeat for it's formula. Anything like that is going to rank Iowa pretty low of course. Iowa State tends to lose a lot of close games on other hand. Having said that to answer your question I still do think Iowa State is Iowa's best win narrowly over Wisconsin, Rutgers, Illinois, and Northwestern. I think Iowa State would be in close games with all of those teams and probably be 2-2 or 3-1 best case with probably all of them being 1 score games.
To be fair, Iowa State is undefeated in the month of November against Iowa since the series renewed in the 1970s.
