And there were just as many Hawks after the Purdue game stating this season was nothing more than an exhibition. What, you beat up on a couple of high school teams and it's look out Chiefs?

Kind of like ISU fans after the ULL game?

ISU just beat up on the worst two football teams in all of P5 football in Kansas and Baylor, then beat a KState team down most of it's players and ISU fans are flexing like crazy.

LOL, if Sagarin isn't legit this year, then it isn't legit any year.
They have Iowa ranked as the #3 team in the nation. They have Michigan, Minnesota and Penn State all ranked. You're trolling out of your mind.

Kansas State had 4 players out and have more wins than the last 3 teams Iowa has played combined.

They were? I thought it was two players
2 starters, their 3rd best WR transferred, and I believe they were out a 2nd stringer. Two major guys. Let's not act like they were playing the game with their scout team.

I have been told it doesn't matter how bad their rankings are, their SOS is still perfect and spot on and should never be questioned. Heck you don't have to convince me that bad rankings lead to bad SOS metrics, I have been trying to tell you guys that for a long time. Yet the only response to that from ISU fans is Sagarins SOS is gold, it doesn't matter if his rankings are off.

@CyTwins how is this dumb? I've tried to tell you countless times that the Sagarin ratings are horrible and that affects his SOS metric. If he overvalues a conference that swings his SOS dramatically. Right now Sagarin values Big10 teams, and as you can see that is swinging his SOS. This is no different than any other year with Sagarin.

You're tilting at the wrong windmill if you think that Sagarin numbers are valid this year. Everything is f'd up given Covid and the BIG simply is on top because all of the BIG teams are on top, not because there is any reality. Maybe the BIG is really good...or maybe it is really bad. As the #3 team in the nation, I'm sure you wouldn't have any trouble with Alabama, Clemson, Notre Dame, heck, even lowly Oklahoma or Iowa State...

Tilt on...

Using analytics in a year like this year is going to be dumb. It'll be dumb to use KenPom as well as everything's going to be really messed up. Your troll / argument is stupid and you don't even believe it but you won't stop.

Not sure who was flexing but beating Baylor will always be high on our to do list. They're a vile program and qualified for the conference championship game. Honestly losing to Iowa is slightly less nauseating than Baylor. Although beating Iowa is probably more gratifying if for no other reason it reduces the troll participation on this board.

SOS matrices are out the window this year as there were no OOC P5 match-up this year.

At the risk of jumping in the Hawk kiddie pool of "so are you but what am I"..............but after ULL it wasn't that this season doesn't count more than why do they start so slow under CMC. September and November seems his teams have struggled. Hopefully the November struggles end this season.

I would love to see KU and PSU pillow fight. And Baylor could beat could beat anyone Iowa has. As for flexing...........do you think people outside the midwest have more interest in ISU/UT......or Iowa/Nebraska? You can belch metrics and tradition all the day long.......but this weekend/this year.....the flexing belongs to us. We beat UT........it's Arnold time!

So
Who is tooting Iowa’s horn about being ranked #24. I simply pointed out how wrong someone was saying Iowa wouldn’t be ranked this week or next week.
Speaking of 5 years ago, wasn’t that when ISU basketball was pre season #7? Crazy how roles have reversed in basketball, now Iowa is preseason #5 and ISU is a dumpster fire.
So one bad season means a team is a dumpster fire. Wow Iowa fans are dumb. Can't wait to watch Iowa flop this season it's gonna be funny.

ISU has had 2 really bad seasons out of the last 3 and 3 out of 4 is looking really likely.

And Iowa has had 1 less bad season than Iowa State in the last 3 years.. So your point is that last year's season is what matters?

Dude look at who your coach is. Guy got an extension when he hadn't done **** and still hasn't done anything important at Iowa. And has the season started yet I'm pretty sure Iowa St hasn't missed the tournament this year.
