So much ranking envy and bowl jealousy. I find it hilarious.
Our team found ways to win. Your team found ways to lose. Which one you think looks better?Iowa State had one quality win. Iowa had zero/one (depending on how you define “quality win” and whether Iowa State falls into that category). You guys have somehow convinced yourselves that Iowa State beat a murderer’s row of opponents when that’s just simply not the case.
Also, regarding your last point: that is why the computers are smarter than the “eye test”- they are more objective. Statistics show that performance in close games (aka being able to “close the deal”) is largely dependent upon luck. You sound like one of those people who thinks MJ and Kobe were so good because they were “clutch” or had a “killer instinct”- which is complete nonsense.
Death by mod suicide watch for Buddy.
Well, that’s your biased opinion. The rest of the nation other than the biased AP and CFP voters thinks Iowa is better, along with every unbiased computer ranking and metric. What would all those statistics and metrics know, over the uneducated opinion of a troll on an inferior team’s website?
Hey, if you think the AP Poll is more reliable than the most well-respected computer rankings, all the power to you.
Since 2000:
Nebraska
Iowa
- 2 AP/Coaches Poll Top Ten finishes
Iowa State
- 5 AP/Coaches Poll Top Ten finishes
If you think Nebraska:Iowa is a similar comparison to Iowa:Iowa State, you are delusional. Iowa and Nebraska have played at a similar level since the turn of the century. Iowa State has not even come close.
- 0 AP/Coaches Poll Top Ten finishes
Crazy its been 3 straight years the B1g champ hasn't made the playoffs, does anyone outside of the BTN respect that league?
Well this is awkward...
This isn't the final AP poll, you'll have to beat WSU to finish in the Top 25.
Based upon @benjimill it would not matter if we beat them because computer polls are all that matters.This isn't the final AP poll, you'll have to beat WSU to finish in the Top 25.

He was talking about AP top 10 finishes...
What's up with Iowa State announcing 56k (when there was maybe 5k actually there) in attendance for the Drake nail biter? I thought Iowa basketball only fudged attendance numbers.

They announced tickets sold and that would have been accurate
Oh this one is promising

I doubt that was how many were sold. Didn't a lot of non season ticket holders get their money back?
