One might want to consider goal line strategy while falling over yourself on Blythe's TD numbers.
For example, the leading rusher for ISU in 3 of the 4 years that Blythe played was Stevie Hicks ... in 2003, Hicks had 0 TDs and in his senior year of 2007 he had 2 ... 2003 is the only year...

Dude, anybody could pick the field as well as he has, and his seeding predictions suck
Take the automatic bids, take the rest of the top 25, and you really only have to choose a few teams - a trained monkey could get 66 of 68

Joey Brackets isn't that great at picking the field (which is what the evil four letters likes to brag about) and he is even worse at projecting seeds! Do not pay any attention to these matchups. No one has any idea where the committee has evaluated ISU ... we could end up anywhere from a 6 to...
I think that Duke may be the best matchup for us on that list, but I would worry about how we would guard the three point line.
Beating any of them would of course be monumental tasks for almost every team in the country.
Agree, there is not enough data to really draw any conclusions - but thought it was worth sharing nonetheless.
If for no other reason than to try to forget about last night.
As a 7-10 seed, there will be no possible second round matchup that is good for us. Take your pick from this list ...

I'm excited about the size of the DBs, the number of DLs, the potential of the OLs, and the length of the WRs, but if I had to pick just one guy to be excited about based on how soon he will be on the field and immediate impact on Saturdays ... my one guy would have to be the kicker (just...
