No, you would have to play them (location wise) just as ISU did. Which means you get OU at home, OSU there, Texas in Austin. Otherwise how does the hypnotical even make sense if you get to chose to have Texas at home to try "help" your argument? And correct, if iowa played Texas, TCU and WVU, I think they come out 1-2. TCU and Iowa are similar this year

Regardless, you're absolutely delusional to think the spread would only be 3-4. As @Statefan10 already mentioned, we are not just "slightly" better than iowa. Iowa is not good this year.
Iowa is better than TCU (whom you beat by 3). You were favored at home against a Covid depleted KSU team by 9 and you think you'd be favored against Iowa by 9-11? Iowa lost to the #11 team by 1. How much do you think Wisconsin will be favored against Iowa in Iowa City? I'm not saying that the Clones aren't good, maybe even better than the Hawks but the gap isn't nearly as big as you think. Give us your QB and we win by 2 scores.

Iowa started higher in the AP than NW did and thus would probably be higher than where NW is now if Iowa was 5-0. Either way, Iowa would be better than ISU if they had Purdy, but they don't and thus ISU is better thus far.
So, you're saying that teams with better players are traditionally better football teams?

Huh.

Ya and if my aunt had a **** she would be my uncle. This is a stupid arguement.

Why do you keep saying "thus far"? Do you believe that there is enough time left in Iowa's season that you are going to say "yep, Iowa is better than ISU?"

If we lose to a top 20 team and they beat a horrible Nebraska team Friday they will say they're better

The QB position is far too important to simplify it as you are doing. You're talking about the most important position in all of sports. How many Superbowls would the Patriots had won with a horrible QB instead of Brady? Would the Chiefs be even remotely as good if they didn't have PM? No.

This is incorrect. You lost to an UNRANKED Purdue team. That's not how that works. Just like you cant say you beat a ranked team that wasn't ranked when you beat them you don't get to claim you lost to a ranked team when they weren't ranked when you lost. Nice try.

This entire sentence shows just how delusional you are and the lack of football knowledge you posses, which is none. It's literally not even debatable that ISU is better than Iowa this year.

1.) TCU threw a last second TD that didn't matter

2.) We were favored by 9 prior to KSU's news coming out about their issues

3.) Wisconsin isn't as good as ISU so who cares what they'll be favored by

4.) "Give us your all-conference stud QB" is precious. QB is a pretty important position. Maybe recruit it better.

I honestly can't decide if he truly believes this trash he is slinging or just trying to troll extremely hard, but either way he is doing an absolutely terrible job at it.

Your next two games are against the two worst teams in the Big 10 West.

What happens if Iowa runs the table and finishes 7-2 and ISU loses to Texas and WVU and finishes 7-4? Not saying that will happen, but it is possible.

There's a large false sense of confidence after beating 2 of the bottom P5 teams and another bad team.

Yup that's entirely possible. It's also possible Iowa State makes the CFP this year. Vegas has their odds the same as Northwestern to win the national championship. Are either of those things probable? No.
