Their schedule is a joke. I positive Iowa State would be 5-2 if we had their schedule

"Do you like apples? How do you like them apples?" Was this written by a middle schooler?

Im not.


I give Iowa credit, they are getting the wins, regardless of schedule. We struggle to beat the teams we should. Do I think Iowa should get in the playoffs? Hell no, but I will give credit to their wins and they will go bowling.

Kirk Herstreit gave props to the author for this article and admitted he way underestimated Iowa. Puke.

And we'd be 5-2 with Iowa's schedule? No way. I'd say 3-4 at best, with wins against Illinois State, North Texas and maybe Illinois.

Didn't read but Iowa should play someone with a pulse before they start clamoring for respect. Congrats to being 7-0. Even with an easy schedule that is pretty awesome but before you start crying about national attention, try beating somebody who is actually good in your conference (Michigan, Green Michigan, Ohio State).

If we had Iowa's schedule, would we beat Iowa State?

 

[cycloneworld]

Better beat that strength of schedule drum now because its going to nose dive, while all of those other schools mentioned will increase.

It's been an excellent start for Iowa but neither of their "Top 25 wins" will be that way when the season is (outside shot Wisc sneaks in). Pitt won't finish there either. When you have to use "former" top 25 teams as signature wins, you know your schedule is bad.

And it gets worse. Iowa has more conference wins (3) than the rest of the teams on their schedule COMBINED (2)! How is that even possible?

That said, its not their fault their schedule is awful.

Probably find a way to screw it up. But Ive seen ISU beat themselves enough to know we'd have a good chance.

Dear Iowa,

Oh you're still there.

Signed,
America

 

[CloneFan4]

So you don't care that America apparently doesn't care about Iowa? What better way to show you don't care than to take the time to write a lengthy article about the subject.

 

[CyDude16]

lol "Iowa doesn't care what you think" proceeds to write an article having to defend themselves.

Classic Jon Miller whining.

We would probably compete better in the Big 10, but I'm not sure we would have any more wins. Iowa seems to know how to win close games while we figure out ways to lose close games.

Yes?

 

[bawbie]

Im not.

Which teams are those? We beat the two teams we should have. The other 4 have 2 combined losses, both to Top 5 teams.

Part of our problem this year is that we don't play any mediocre teams, so we can't judge how mediocre we are. KU and UNI are bad. Everyone else is good to really really good.

Why are you looking at this as a one-year problem? This has persisted for a lot longer than just this season.

Texas Tech is mediocre, K-State is mediocre, West Virginia is mediocre, Texas is mediocre, Oklahoma St may be too. We play plenty of mediocre teams.

The nation will have its eyes on historic Kinnick Stadium the rest of the way out. Especially the farmers. Things getting interesting.
