I've seen it in high school football as well. Defense appears to be a Covid casualty so far anyway.
Big 12 Defenses
- Thread starter CyTwins
- Start date
I was listening to a national football podcast and they talked about A&M's top 5 victory. They then talked about how it was a top 5 victory because if Florida wins, it's a top 5 loss. While I can understand part of the logic of the opposing side, I think you should give more credit to the team that beats the ranked team and not punish them for winning.
Even an undefeated Iowa State season would of been a tier below the handful of real contenders just like the HoKKKs. Winning the Big XII this year truly is an attainable goal. I doubt we'd be 3-0 right now in conference if we didn't open with a quality opponent.
Only the most delusional Iowa fan would think they could compete with the real contenders. You only have to go back to their "undefeated season " which last i checked had 2 losses.
Watch this, especially check out the :17 second mark:
Like it or not, everybody uses rankings at the time of games when they post stats on record vs. ranked teams. It's fine to argue the merits of doing it that way, but when you say "you go by current rankings," judging that statement gives us two options from which we must choose:
Option #1: Every sports networks' stats department
Option #2: Some dumbass troll from Turdville, IA
Beating OU could end up being better or worse, depending on how they do. Right now ISU is 3-0 vs unranked teams and 0-1 vs ranked teams. That could change next week, but that is what they are.
His teammate Marshall has to be the frontrunner for the Biletnikoff this year.
It's fun to see a tavern hoks following Iowa State and arguing about the ranking of our opponents, while their team sits home watching and waiting for freezing weather games to come.
Iowa's defense is going to really miss Doyle this year. He's been killing it for BaylorIowa's Defense must be tremendous-haven't been scored on all year.
They've played Northwestern 4 times?Iowa's Defense must be tremendous-haven't been scored on all year.
According to the ESPN app, ISU beat #18 OU two weeks ago. The ranking still shows up. Know why? Because they were ranked on the day ISU beat them. That means, ISU played and beat a ranked team. It's not supposed to be confusing, but here we are.
Finebaum might be the dumbest guy doing football commentary, and that is saying something. He was still running with the Big 12 is in trouble and could get poached by conferences including the ACC and PAC two years ago.
If you haven't seen these, they are all pretty good.

According to @Legend Hawk, ESPN is not credible.
Probably one of the many twitterhoks also calling former Iowa players "non-credible" who spoke up about the racist problems within Hawkeye football program.
