IOWA 8-0 and #1 in six BCS computor poll averages

[hoopster42]

Well you did clarify it, but what I'm saying is if an undefeated Iowa team would not make it against an undefeated Texas or SEC team. It's also possible a 1 loss SEC team could jump them due to the SEC title game giving them an additional boost similar to LSU making it with 2 losses.

god fukking dammit what is up with you guys and your distorted fukking facts for christ's sake

that yr (2007), lsu got in with 2 losses because they won the sec title gm and the higher ranked teams than them (other than ohio st) also had 2 losses. usc lost to ucla and wva lost to pitt on the same day that lsu won the sec title gm. lsu jumped usc, wva, and georgia, who all had 2 losses each

lsu DID NOT JUMP any 1-loss bcs conference teams

in the HISTORY of the MOTHERFUKKING BCS which is 11 yrs going on this yr the 12th, NO UNDEFEATED or 1-LOSS BCS CONF team has been jumped by a 1-loss or 2-loss BCS TEAM for a spot in the nat'l title

jesus fukking christ please learn the facts

if iowa is one of only 2 undefeated bcs conf teams, they will go to the bcs title gm

if iowa is one of 3 undefeated bcs teams and the other ones are sec/big 12 and cincy, then sec/big 12 goes and then its anybody's guess if iowa or cincy plays them

if sec and big-12 champ are both undefeated, then they go

this is not rocket fukking science, the last 11 yrs bcs history is there, maybe some of you are just clueless about college foots,

goddamn

The SEC has earned their respect in the past few years......but your right, probably overrated this season.


In the history of CFB, no conference comes close to the greatness that is the BIG TEN.

Fish, that's very debatable to say the least and remember Penn St was once a independent. The SEC has won the most since the BCS was instituted and tied for the most since 1936 with The BIG 12.

Since there was no clear cut National Champion until the BCS there were multiple winners prior by splitting the polls.

Either way if you take other information at your hands it's possible both the SEC and BIG TEN are tied (25) excluding teams with National Championships who were not part of the conference at that time... i.e. Penn St (2) and Arkansas (1).

The BIG TEN is a great conference, but one which has not maintained itself as time has gone on. Other conferences have passed them by and the proof is easy to see. SEC 3 straight National Championships and 5 total since the inception of the BCS. The Big 12 is second with 2 and other major conferences have 1 including the BIG TEN.

Even if you could prove your statement it will soon fall to the power of the SEC.

I applaud your loyalty to the BIG TEN, but the future is now.

[wacked]

Read what I said. I said LSU received a boost by winning the SEC Championship. I never said they jumped other 1 loss teams. You should read what people write before going off on an unwarranted tirade. Laughable.

I said the SEC Championship game gave LSU a boost to jump others.
I was pointing out how a BIG 12 or SEC Championship game helps more than hurts other conferences such as PAC 10 or BIG TEN.

The next time you decide to go off, learn to spell and make sure you've had your medicine. You made yourself look like a fool.

What the fuk is a "computor," Fishhead?

Seriously. How can anyone not know how to spell computer? Is Fishhead posting on the Internut?

[TodayIsForgotten]

I'd put Iowa at 9 or 10. Too many good teams and IOWA hasnt really played anyone great and almost losing to michigan state.

[BigdaddyQH]

In the last 5 years, no conferencehas done as badly as the disgraseful Big 10 has. Their teams are crap. They play no one in non-conference games and when they do face a decent team, they lose. No one wants to see another Big 10 team get their asses whipped in the N.C. game. The BCS will do it's best to keep Iowa out. Boise or TCU would kick their asses on a neutral field, much less Texas, Alabama, Florida, SC or Oregon. What was the Big 10's bowl record last year? 1-7? The Big 10 is the WORST of the BCS Conferences over all.

[InThisMoment]

Computers are calculated based on games played and do not have the inherent bias prevalent in the polls. Most do not take into account margin of victory as well, which I feel is correct since the only importance to a team should be winning, not by how much.

Based on the season to date and the schedules, one has to have Iowa ranked first. However, likely they will drop as the season plays out regardless of them winning or not simply because Florida and Alabama (and Texas for that matter) increase their schedule difficulty as they get into conference play.

Texas is rather low in most computer rankings and rightly so considering they have rarely played anyone with a pulse outside of Oklahoma, and even that could be argued if you saw the game.

you made a clear implication that the sec champ, even w/1 loss, "could jump" iowa if iowa is undefeated. this is not going to happen, if the last 11 yrs of bcs history (the only 11 yrs of the system that exist) are any indication.

the fact you think a 1-loss sec team could jump an undefeated bcs conf team (or a 2 loss sec team could jump a 1 loss bcs conf team) for a spot in the bcs title gm tells me that you have completely ignored the 11 yrs of the bcs, because what you are saying "could happen" has NEVER HAPPENED

if the SEC champ has 1 loss after the sec championship gm, and another BCS conference team (cincy, iowa, what have you) is undefeated along with big-12 champion texas, NO WAY NO HOW will the sec champion jump any of the 3 undefeateds or 2 undefeateds for a spot in the bcs title game

it simply WILL NOT HAPPEN...............BCS HISTORY has shown this

[mmike032]

Be nice Bulldog...........I wish nothing but the best for your Dawgs in the Sun Bowl or Motor City Bowl against Tulsa or UTEP.

lets not give the Dawgs to much credit.
They have yet to become bowl eligible

[wacked]

Hey at least you got something right this time. I did say it was "possible" a one loss SEC team could jump Iowa. Congrats you are 1 for 10. BTW the BCS is young. It was created in 1998, and until LSU was in the Championship game no 2 loss team had ever made it. History does not indicate what the future will be.

I'm still not sure what your point is in all of this you have only rambled on and I don't even know what the point is of your replies.

by the way, i have misspelled NO words in my above post(s). i like to say "fukking" instead of ****en, but i dont think that qualifies as misspelling, as it's a curse word for crying out loud. you want me to misspell a word? here you go:

Iowa will get thumped by Ohio St and whoever they play in the bowl game..... but it was fun for them for a while.

Couldn't agree more. Iowa has not had ONE impressive win this season. You have to blow out SOMEONE during the season to be considered a top 5 team. Right?? Ohio State appears to be the best team in the Weak Ten.

.......a, no.


By the way, Iowa did blow out Iowa State by 32 points AT Iowa State, a team that beat your huskers in Lincoln last weekend. They also beat Arizona by double digits, a team contending for the Pac-10 title at the moment.

So an Ohio State with two losses APPEARS to be the best team in the Big Ten? A team that lost to Purdue. Cmon dude.....Iowa may or not be the best team in the Big Ten, but at least give them credit for APPEARING as such.

[goblue12]

The Big Ten rotating the schedules this year sure did help out Iowa's CPU #'s. Those wins against Ohio State (for fun, lets say that the Hawkeyes win in Columbus 2 weeks from Saturday) and Michigan instead of Purdue and Illinois might just give them the extra boost that they need in the CPU's.

ohio state and tp a different animal at home, they shouldnt have lost to purdue but purdue is better than you think, ignore their record, they have played everyone close including oregon on the road and we all know how strong the ducks have looked since losing to boise........anyway, ohio st gets a different type of athlete than iowa which is why they always beat iowa, when was the last time you guys even beat the buckeyes? if the game was played today, ohio st is favored over iowa in c-bus and they probably win

In 2004, Ohio State suffered one of their worst losses in recent memory. In fact, it was the worst loss under head coach Jim Tressel, dropping the game 33-7 to the Hawkeyes.

Yes but ask yourself how has Iowa done...they've been very well considering they were usually playing "more talented teams" "higher ranked teams".

Iowa's bowl record is great under Ferentz.

+1000... Iowa has played teams that have front loaded their schedules with cupcakes. The next few weeks will show who Iowa really is.

the next few wks? other than ohio st on 11/14 they play a bunch of nobodies.

i don't know about you, but i think wins @ iowa st, over arizona, @ penn st, over michigan, @ wisky, and @ mich st, show a lot more than winning 3 of their next 4 gms will as other than ohio st they play indiana, n'western, & minnesota, all 3 at hm

Not to mention Iowa beat a very good (not great) Penn St. team.

I think the whole 'this conference is best' debate is a joke because they all have a couple teams capable of beating anyone on a given day...there's not that much difference overall. Each year there are 3 or 4 teams clearly a step above the rest and they are definitely not solely in one conference, and also not necessarily only BCS conference teams.

Solution = PLAYOFF.

I thought that Obama was gonna deal with this, lol, but I guess it's gone with the rest of his campaign platform of "Change".
