Nebraska was the best team in the north? or KSU? That would be like Iowa being the best team in the West year in and year out. Which is not the case. put it this way, which old big 12 north team has won a conference championship since leaving or combining for an all big 12? It is 0. When ISU stopped playing in the north their schedule got harder right?
The Big 12 North was incredibly easy, that's not what I'm saying. I don't know that it's easier than playing in the big Ten West though
At that point it is a throw in for honorable mention basically. Like in MVP voting or Conference teams.... the left over teams or whatever that have votes are put on their to say, o man they were close to getting ranked. Was ISU closer, sure, but they were not in any ranking at the end of the year. That is a fact. But congrats on the participation trophy and being about 3 more people ahead of Iowa to go shake the hands of the 25 best teams.
ISU finished 28th in the AP poll, Iowa finished 34th. It's not bragging to say we were better than a Big Ten West team, it's just pointing out a fact
How? Neither team was ranked in the AP. the AP only goes to 25 teams. We both got honorable mention for top 25 consideration.
ISU finished 28th in AP votes, Iowa finished 34th. To compare Oklahoma finished 3rd in AP votes and Ohio State finished 5th
If ISU was ranked in the AP at the end of 2017 season, then Iowa went to the tournament 3 times under fran right?
I never said ISU finished ranked at the end of the 2017 season. I said they finished with more votes than the TOE
Big 12 North was much easier than the Big 12 South. I'm not sure if it was that much easier than the B1G West either.
The thing about the Big 12 at that time was that we had a set cross-division schedule. We'd for sure see Oklahoma and Texas every two years.
In the B1G West right now you could miss out on tOSU, Michigan, or Penn State for multiple years and cycle through Rutgers, Indiana, Maryland, and maybe a down MSU team.
I would be interested to see the year over year SOS for each B1G West team since they went to 14. It seems like it's either all or nothing.
Will you guys get a room? You've been having the same argument for most of this thread. Invite YeahDouchey along and you guys can all bang it out to assert your dominance.
This is just getting more ridiculous. The ban hammer needs to come down on this junk.
Big 12 North was hard for the first few years of the divisions when KSU and Nebbie were still good. CO was pretty good too.
2005 will always remain a very 'Iowa State' thing because the schedule was about as favorable as you could ask and they couldn't do it.
2014- 2017 and then the 4 year average for each school:
Iowa: 60, 52, 33, 5 37.5
Illinois: 44, 44, 37, 43 42
Minny: 43, 43, 65, 59 52.5
Nebby: 61, 49, 57, 9 44
NW: 53, 33, 47, 52 46.3
Purdue: 50, 40, 61, 42 53.3
Wisky: 54, 66, 13, 47 45
Over/Under on the number of Clone fans that would have said Iowa has played, on average, the hardest schedule in the B1G West since the league went to 14 teams will be set at 0.5. I will take the under.
