Personally, I’m having a harder time getting over the loss to Baylor. WTF were we doing?
More annoying loss so far this year POLL
- Thread starter Gunnerclone
- Start date
The Iowa loss sucked more in that moment - gameday/rival/etc. but now that conference play has started it's forgettable. The Baylor loss will be that "what if?" game us all season long - at least until we make it to the CCG.
As much as I'd like to beat Iowa, I'd much rather be back in Dallas.
Sometimes, you just have a ****** day. That was Iowa.
Baylor, man. So much opportunity left on the field.

Much bigger impact on the season is Baylor. It's not even close. I know people think ISU and Iowa fans are just deflecting when they say it isn't one of the most important games on the schedule, but it really isn't. If I had to choose between beating Iowa or Baylor I would choose Baylor in a heartbeat. It has a HUGE impact on the conference race.
baylor loss stings
baylor will end up with 3 losses in big 12 play. theyre good, not great. the first half of that game could have ruined our big 12 chances although we control our own destiny still by winning out.

The iowa loss sucks primarily because its happened again and again and again, with largely the same formula failing for the same reasons every time
The baylor loss, if talking about games by themselves, sucks more. We should have won that game, if not for piss poor special teams. Plus its a conference game, and that matters more.

Baylor, easily. That has implications for conference titles for us. The Baylor loss has a MUCH bigger impact realistic goals.
As much as the Iowa loss sucked, it didn't even hurt us from a CFP standpoint because of their ranking.

Had we won out after Iowa, we would be rated right higher or close to what they are now. Almost everything was still on the table and in our control (even cfp). The Baylor loss didn't ruin everything but it really lowered the ceiling on the season.
Baylor because it actually matters.
I mean, both matter if you want to reach the ceiling, but Baylor was much more significant.

I think even with the Baylor loss we get back into the CCG, so the Iowa loss is more annoying.
The Iowa loss stings the ego more, but the Baylor loss was an unforeseen impact on our chances to get back to Dallas, killing our margin for error right from the start. That's a lot more annoying in the long run.

Iowa. Same September problems, even for an important game, and you can see how much wind it took out of the sails for fans this season.
Just look how small football threads here are compared to the weeks leading up to the season. That thing had a quieting effect that Baylor didn't.
