Iowa/Nebraska in game thread

[Fishhead]

loven life right now fishy. Hope your still killing it.

Howdy hawk....things great.

Iowa will and should move to #2 if they defeat MSU......and CLEMSON of course if they lose to NC.


iowa 3.5 pt dogs to MSU currently

[Mac4Lyfe]

With that schedule? Did you also believe that Boise State should have been ranked 1 or 2 back in the day when they had a shit schedule as well?

Iowa should and i think will move to #2 in rankings. They deserve to be ranked ahead of all 1 beaten teams.GO HAWKS!!!

I'm more impatient. Think we should be #2 now. After msu win then we will see about #1.

guess we will see tuesday.

[Mac4Lyfe]

I think I had strength of schedule confused with strength of record (what the hell is that).

Strength of Record (RK)95.5 (5)

Too many bullshit stats, FPI, RPI, SOS, Adjusted Wins, etc., etc. Why not just let Vegas rank the teams and be done with.

Their schedule strength is ranked 62.

[daneblazer]

guess we will see tuesday.

Tuesday doesn't mean two shits. The committee showed that last year. Only one that matters is the last one

iowa deserves to be in the playoffs if they win the big 10, but if you think this committee is jumping them
over Clemson or Alabama without a loss you are living in lala land

Dont matter now. Win and move on.

[Mac4Lyfe]

You didn't answer the question. Did you think Boise State should have been ranked this high with the schedules they use to have back then? I'm pretty sure you didn't think they deserved such high consideration. We probably can bump some real old posts.

I personally don't care where they're ranked as I think we just need more teams in the playoffs which means more games to bet on. I just don't think teams should be rewarded playing shitty schedules. The B10 screwed up the way they aligned the teams in the first place. Every year the top teams find ways to avoid each other which is BS. The B12 backload their schedules like the Big East use to do as well. When you don't play a quality OOC schedule, you should be penalized much more IMO.

No Im not. BUT, we are arguing about nothing. Iowa wins they are there.

Although I like Iowa I agree by letting oddsmakers rank em, but then it'd be harder to win money. They wouldn't crack top 15 then.

[hawk 5]

1 thing u cant argue is if they belong in top 4.

[existential]

No Im not. BUT, we are arguing about nothing. Iowa wins they are there.

No one said that Iowa wouldn't get a spot if they win next week.

But for you two Iowa homers to think that Iowa should be #1 is beyond laughable. Iowa hasn't beat anyone and has been statistically dominated in several of their games, including today.

Those are the facts.

and there it is. Iowas OOc schedule isn't better or worse than most, their side of the conference was just putrid

[daneblazer]

Thats what we are arguing. Nobody is saying they don't belong in, but as a 1 or 2 seed is laughable...and honestly there's no difference between the 2 & 3

I said #2 not #1. But at least 3

Iowa beat NW, a team that is better than any team ALA has beaten,......and of course, I guess we also just throw out their loss to an UNranked team at home

Iowa should be ranked ahead of ALA right now

[hawk 5]

Iowa bear NW, a team that is better than team ALA has beaten,......and of course, I guess we also just throw out their loss to an UNranked team at home

Iowa should be ranked ahead of ALA right now

agree. I'm at #2.

[daneblazer]

I would take a home equity loan out on Alabama vs Iowa at a pick em

[Fishhead]

....it doesn't matter except for laughs. But OKLA has no business being ranked ahead of IOWA.


again, we can rip on IOWA, but Alabama and OKLA get a pass for losing to UNranked teams, funny.

[Fishhead]

Why are they so much better than IOWA in your eyes??

Again, stop saying stupid shit.

Ranking Iowa above Bama would mean that you believe Iowa could beat Bama on a neutral field. - You would have to be legally retarded to think that.

Bama would beat Iowa by 28+. Iowa wouldn't be able to run and thus wouldn't score more than 7-10 points max.

Again.. Give me this game.

[Fishhead]

Iowa has 3-5 OL headed to the NFL but it's a given they couldn't run the ball against ALA

interesting

[existential]

LMFAO seriously, you two Iowa homer clowns simply need to feel fortunate that you won today after getting destroyed statistically. You'll easily lose by 14+ next week if you play the same way.

As for Alabama, their combo of size and speed would absolutely destroy your undersized and slow team on both sides of the ball. Would just get wrecked in the trenches while Bama would run free on the edges and down the seams all game long.

[daneblazer]

I think alabama is a terrible matchup for Iowa. Probably the worst for them out of those that remain. Iowa won't be able run on them and they have to be able to establish that. I'd give Iowa a chance at anyone but Alabama. That D-line is one of the best we've ever seen.

[Fishhead]

May be awhile before an SEC team ever wins a title with the playoffs now in effect.......

BIG TEN 1-0

.....and conference probably wins title again this year.

Alabama shut down Chubb and Fortenette...

Ole Miss beat them due to 5 turnovers and that they were able to pass

I am a Iowa homer. I havent look at the stats but watched the game. U are Wrong on the destroyed on stats. Bet we won the game.

[Fishhead]

Iowa has led for 27 straight quarters

Iowa had had numerous injuries to the offensive side of the ball and still managed this .....and now ALL healthy.....underrated offense.

[hawk 5]

Hell fishy we havw been kickling the hell out of 40 lately.

Are you fukking stupid or something, or simply illiterate?

Nebraska outgained Iowa by 180+ yards and had 11 more 1st downs.

Those are facts, not opinion, moron.

[Fishhead]

Hell fishy we havw been kickling the hell out of 40 lately.

This team has a helluva nucleus coming back next year, tons of talented freshman and sophomores........they may enter the preseason in top ten if King decides to come back for another year, maybe preseason #1 if they win title this year.
