Why is it isu couldn’t win more games in 2017 than Iowa with a weaker schedule?

You are right there is no debate, Iowa has been better than isu since CMC arrived.
In the past two years, Iowa State has more ranked wins, more wins against top 10 and top 5 opponents, have made better bowl games, etc. They have not however beaten Iowa, which is the last straw to fall. When we beat Iowa and also have the same years we have had, the tides will have turned.

Behind you
I know Iowa had a couple of TE's get drafted, but I really don't know how anyone could spend 5 minutes or more with baby Ferentz and want to play for that dbag. He's a terrible OC and an even worse person.

Love your fire.

Yes when isu beats Iowa and has the same or better season will be the year they are finally better.

But don’t tell CyTwins this as he will post another 10,000 times about how many voters that voted for isu in a final poll is all that counts.

Should have had one more win. If Lazard doesn't get Nickell Robey-Coleman'd multiple times against K-State that's a win. Everyone not wearing black and white saw it.

Wow Lachey's pop was an All Pro OT. Knew he played, didn't know he was that good. Kid's going to be a beast.

Yep, one of my favorite Hogs of all time. Hell of a trade to get Jim Lachey for Jay Schroeder back then.

A bigger group of voters voted for Iowa which is why they ended up being ranked.

If isu was better in 2017 than Iowa, they would have won more games by playing a weaker schedule.

If Iowa was better than Iowa State in 2017 they would have received more AP votes than Iowa State. It's not complicated

So to be clear you're disagreeing with unbiased AP voters?
Why do you keep using the phrase "unbiased voters"? You don't have a firm grip on reality, or you're completely naive, if you think voters are unbiased.

Or, as is almost always the case, you're just doing a bit and you don't believe a word you're writing.

You think ISU could be getting more votes than Iowa in a poll due to bias?

Why can’t CyTwins answer a simple question?

If isu was better than Iowa in 2017 they would have beaten Iowa and more games by playing a weaker schedule.

Too bad none of that actually happened.
