All Iowa Football Team---Post Bowl Edition

It's not really a debatable point. The AP takes care of that for us. Want to throw out the AP and use another poll? Find one that doesn't have 3 BIG 10 West teams ranked ahead of the first 3 BIG 12 teams. This argument is old.
Minnesota sucked early with a weak schedule but they beat Penn St and Auburn so I guess that counted as something.
You seem to rattle off our schedule back ten or fifteen years but you have no idea who PSU played last year? Using a conference opponent as a team that MN played during the regular season kinda strengthens my point.
Would be interesting to see how Purdy would respond to playing against our 1st team DBs instead of our 2nd and 3rd teamers like he did last year. Not saying he'd make another crucial fumble or slip when trying to run the ball, miss his wide open TE in the end zone, or throw it directly to our safety on a huge 4th down like he did last year. I'm sure he'd bounce back. And I do think he would've benefited from not having to contend with a hostile crowd there.
Minnesota finished the year ranked 10th and was 11-2. I don't like them but they did. Sounds like your issue is with the AP. Take it up with them.
Bucky is going to be the same they always have been.
Iowa starts a new QB but has better skills players than previous years
Minny losses their #1 and #2 receivers, #1 RB and their play maker on defense and special teams. They are going to really fall back
No one else in the is even worth mentioning unless Rondale Moore can return to 2018 levels
If nothing else, we'll find out how good Tanner Morgan really is.
We don't play each other this year and if Purdy has a great year, he's likely gone so will never have another chance at Iowa. Purdy played pretty well other than a couple of plays. Iowa had a very good defense and if you're going to harp on a sophomore Purdy for not being perfect, so be it.
So, you mean, back to their normal level of just above a steaming pile of dung
Likely? Dude's a surefire top 11 pick, absolutely no way he sticks around for a senior year unless COVID screws up this season even more or cancels it altogether. Feel bad for the kid not being able to get the Iowa monkey off his back though. I can imagine he really wanted to take care of that for his coach as well. Good news is that converted guard sounds like the real deal for you guys at QB, so still a really good chance for Campbell.
