Ok weak minded one, I guess I have to explain it to you. First off what are the goals of every college team outside the top five programs? It’s what he listed, believe it or not it’s what Iowa’s probable goals are.
Next, he didn’t mention Iowa because he wasn’t specifically talking about Iowa. Rivals can change. When you are struggling, it’s the poorer teams, Kstate over the years has been one since the series over its life has been competitive. If we consistently become a top 3 program, an OU or TCU could then be a bigger deal than Kstate.
Next, you can’t really play in bowl games or win a conference championship without beating rivals (or any team for that matter), which refer to the last paragraph on who most teams consider their rivals.
Btw, using hawk logic, he said rivalS not just rival so it means more than one. Why don’t you do a little reading and learn some basic comprehension.
