You should notify AP voters of your findings.
As a footnote: Sagarin had Iowa as the #10 team in the nation at the end of last year. Do you think Iowa was the 10th best team?
Hawk fans gonna turn on Stanley

Fake News.
There was a period of several years when Colorado, Nebby, and KSt or Mizzou(!) were top10/top25 teams. The North was dominant vs the South from the mid 90s to the early 2000s.
Now, by the mid 2000s, yeah the North fell apart. But it wasn't ALWAYS that way, depsite what people remember...

So you have no ability for independent thought? Interesting, but not surprising.
...and you think the AP poll is unbiased. Jesus.
he isn’t smart enough to be honest. He only knows the dogma that the jerk off insecure hawk fan has created to pretend that they’re actually relevant
I agree. And, yeah, the fact that a Hok fan would NOT remember that period of history is surprising. You'd think the mid-90s would be etched in their brains - most of them are in a constant state of Fry-era delusion.
If you add it all up, the North finished with 27 ranked teams, the South finished with 35 ranked teams. It's a closer gap than I would have imagined. If you look at a year by year basis it looks like once OU hired Bob Stoops and he got his players in, the tides started to turn.
We've already got into this, but I don't think anyone here was claiming the Big 12 was going to be anything special and would probably have around 3-4 teams rated during the year. Minnesota is 3-0 in the Big 10 right now because they've played teams equivalent to the freaking Little Giants. All three of those teams being from the Big 10 West.
As usual the Big 10 is so freaking watered down that there will always be a "Minnesota" most years.
The Big 10 this year is basically the same as every other year, with Minnesota and Northwestern flipping. Minnesota also needs to be taken with a grain of salt right now.
Agreed. If Minnesota goes into Kinnick and wins convincingly and beats Wisconsin, then more power to them.
I think if Minnesota wins 1 out of the three of PSU, Iowa, and Wiscy, they are a real solid team. If they win two they are really really good. If they win 3 then they are in the Big 10 title game with potential to make the playoff (which I absolutely do not see happening). Lol
I don't think Minnesota can beat Iowa
Yeah, even in their fakest ID year Iowa beat Wisconsin and Northwestern on the road (I think). To reach that level of faux-competitiveness, the Gophs would have to at least match wins like that. Doubtful.
True but a similar argument could be made with Baylor. Baylor's SOS is weaker than Minnesota's.
