All Iowa Football Team---Post Bowl Edition
- Thread starter YeahBuddy
- Start date
Many Iowa fans said this year for Iowa State was an average year for Iowa
I don’t think he has any clue what he is talking about. He thinks an 8-1 record is not contending for the regular season title is very odd.
No, because they are teams full of 5 star kids and reload with more 5 star kids. Iowa state is a team of 3 start kids and will reload with more 3 star kids. So apples to oranges
You're an absolute idiot. Having an overall record of 10+ wins has nothing to do with conference standings. You can lose every OOC game and still contend. Contending every year would be at least finishing no worse than 3rd place every year, imo, in a round robin type schedule like the Big12 plays. The average in-conference record for the 3rd place team going back to 2014 has ben 6.2 wins. That is very doable every year. Sorry to ruin your garbage narrative
Is there another team in the conference who regularly contends for the conference championship?
I get that ISU fans have no idea historically what a team looks like that is contending for a RSCC. For the Big12 in a non pandemic year (yes you lost 2 non conference games) here are the # of wins for the top 2 teams:
'19: 12 and 11
'18: 12 & 10
'17: 12 & 11
'16: 11 & 10
'15: 11 & 11
'14: 12 & 11
I will say it again, if you are winning 8 games a year in a non pandemic year, you will not be contending for a Championship game.

No, nobody else will ever be that team, unless Texas rises up. ISU fans thinking they will contend for the Big12 Championship every year is just dumb.
So you are only going to play conference games going forward? Even with Campbell doing his normal 2-1 in non-conference games you would have 10 wins.
It would be like Iowa fans expecting their basketball team to be top ten next year and every year going forward.
Exactly. Iowa will be right back to what they have been after this year in Basketball. ISU will be right back to what they had been after the '21 season as well.
And there is nothing wrong with Campbell winning 7 or 8 games a year. It is actually really hard to do on a consistent basis at Iowa or ISU.
Yep, if your down years are 7/8 wins and your good years are 10+ wins, that is pretty good. It is tough to move past that and win 10 games most years like say a Wisconsin's when you don't have a blue blood background, or some naturally great recruiting base.
Comparing Matt Campbell to Fran McCaffrey is a bannable offense IMO
Campbell wins 7 or 8 games 3 years in a row going into this year. Campbell wins a NY6 bowl and Iowa fans "you've only had one good season"
we'll see..... let's see what happens with Iowa basketball in 21and ISU football in 22.
the program trajectory has been in steady decline since Prohm took over. That's not even arguable. One would tend to think it has bottomed out this year. Only 1 way for it to go at this point.
