Robins, Iowa
It’s crazy to see all these pre season darlings lose to unranked teams and fall 4 spots. Even Alabama has no business being where they’re at
I was really hoping that they would lose again this week. They would still come in at number 8 in the polls with 3 losses...

He means the SEC and big ten will always have teams up there no matter what. They will just swap one for another.
That is for sure their long-term plan with the recent reports on a scheduling agreement. Dominate the pre-season rankings with reputation, then only play each other; can't lose!

Why? They beat a top ten team and everyone they passed beat unranked/bad teams
LSU LOST to a team in USC who is going to finish in the middle of the Big Ten on a neutral field. Iowa State went INTO Iowa City and beat an Iowa team who likely finish in the top 4 of the Big Ten.

Iowa State is undefeated. LSU is not. If the name on the front of the jerseys were reversed LSU would NOT be the higher ranked team. Benefit of the doubt the SEC receives is downright ridiculous.

We are way too sensitive. He was all over our nuts in the baylor game just the week before. Probably just giving some love to the home team but this guy is definitely a fan of ISU
You're not wrong, but he was going way over the top, pointing out officiating mistakes and trying to correlate how they changed the game. It wasn't necessary for him to keep bringing up the subject.

Great for the program. Soak up the accolades, even if the difference is basically just one game from some other good seasons (no Iowa loss or stumble like Louisiana)

Between defensive injuries and three road games, very impressive toughness by these kids.

Iowa is going to start rolling these lower level dog crap Big Ten teams. Up next: FriendlySpartans trash can of a football program. National media will start to respect that win more with each passing week.
