How far can Iowa go?

[TRYHARDER]

According to the EIU fan base,EIU is one of the best 20 football programs in all of college football. Rating wonders, so are going to play, the its not up to us card, to explain why you rarely play Ohio State? How about asking the conference if you guys could play them more often, show them the data, EIU is in the top 20 in money coming in, top 10 sending players to the NFL, and all the rest of the crap you guys throw out there. Then NUT UP, tell the league, you are playing OSU more than twice a decade.

Its a premium matchup according to EIU fans, so I would think the league would jump at the chance, that is unless the Buckeye's would oppose it, which it doubt. So why would EIU not do it, because they rarely beat them Freerents 2 and 9 against them, avoiding playing them is the goal, not beating them.

IOWA the Fake ID of College Football, one big 10 west championship since it was created, and that team lost in the championship game, same number as ISU.

Whoa. Little unhinged for a Sunday maybe? The fact that you care so much is appreciated. Every Hawk fan I know wanted Ohio St last year. But we’d have beaten them and you guys would’ve play the * season card anyway.

This doesn’t bother me even a little. I don’t think Iowa is a blue blood program. There is only so much room at the top.

Being known as a solid, winning, Top 25 college football program that challenges the blue bloods feels great.

Also a racist program

 

[TRYHARDER]

Especially for programs that aren't in the limelight 24/7. The Bamas and tOSUs and Clemsons probably shrug it off with zero distractions. Not as easy to do for most others.

Game Day in Ames seems to be perfect for the Hawks

I'm happy anytime Iowa fans get all triggered because they aren't as important as they think they are.

I hate OU and Texas.... but they will ALWAYS be way more important than Iowa in football.... and ESPN knows that.

Think about it……Oklahoma and Texas both trump Iowa? Hell it’s just been proven that Oklahoma and Texas carry more water than the whole remaining “angry 8”

Someday they’ll throw the BIG 12 a bone and do the Cincinnati vs BYU game. That’ll probably turn into the biggest rivalry game in the new BIG 12.

Aren't both of those teams better than atleast 10 B1G teams right now, if not more?

 

[dirtyninety]

Lol, that was never happening.

Herbstreit dutifully cried......and he has influence. Do not dismiss his influence in picking this stuff. He'd have to become faux verklempt for an ever-present Sauron camera at the wave. He didn't want to do that. I want to see if he was on the Epstein flight logs.

The "Fake ID" reference is so annoying too.....mostly for me because of the guy who coined it....I can't even think of his big mouth name right now.

Both Cincy and BYU would roll Iowa this year.

 

[deadeyededric]

No

 

[SEIOWA CLONE]

You seem upset.

No, not at all, still wondering why fans of EIU are here posting in mass, when our game was three weeks ago? But you are, trying to get ISU fans to bow to the alter of the mighty EIU football program.

Iowa, the Fake ID of College Football.

says the fan of a team whose best win thru week 5 is an FCS team. Nice try. Lol

 

[deadeyededric]

This is the first time I can honestly say Iowa is probably the legit #3 team in the country. Usually there are about 5-6 really good teams and a few pretenders. There are 2 really good teams in college football this year. Iowa is as good as anyone not named Alabama or Georgia this year.

Sagarin update…….. Hawks are 5 - 0 with 18th toughest schedule. Clones 3 -2 with 60th toughest. All 5 Hawk wins are ranked higher than Clones best win so far (UNI).

Cincy would.
BYU no, unless TOE was not the receiving end of another gift five TO game.

 

[deadeyededric]

Iowa is better than Cincinnati up front.

 

[JP4CY]

Sagarin update…….. Hawks are 5 - 0 with 18th toughest schedule. Clones 3 -2 with 60th toughest.

And ISU ranked 11.
Sconnie 36, Nebraska 40, Minny 58, Purdue 64, IL 92, Northwestern 93.

6 Big Ten West teams ranked worse than 3-2 #25 Kansas State.

I had to read this a few times.

Starting to feel even better about a 1 loss, BIG champ Iowa getting in the CFP. In that scenario.

you obviously didn’t watch Hawks vs Indiana and Cincinnati vs Indiana. Cincinnati would most likely win the BIG 12 this season already but beat the Hawks? No. They had to come from behind and were out gained by the Hoosiers.

All the talking heads said the same thing about Notre Dame.
