Purdue hasn't been ranked in 16 years and Iowa lost to them because all they did was "chuck the ball up." So I wouldn't throw stones at Kansas State.

Purdue had a Top 20 offense this season, while Kansas State was an objectively bad team on both sides of the ball. Further, what does Purdue’s success (or lack thereof) over the past 16 seasons have to do with their performance this season- or Kansas State’s, for that matter? What a terrible post on your part.
How can a mediocre Purdue have a top 20 offense in such a great defensive league? You think that a 6-7 Purdue is really any better than a 5-7 KState?
Yes. Purdue may have been mediocre, but Kansas State was terrible this year. Purdue was ranked nearly 20 spots higher in the Massey composite.
I'll stand on those two wins vs a loss to Purdue and your "squeaking" out a win vs Nebraska.
Good 'ol Massey. The same site that has 10 win Georgia at #5 and 10 win Texas at #15.
Oh and Miss State still ranked better than Iowa.
Are you under the impression that bowl games are definitive proof of which team was better over the course of an entire season?
So you believe that head to head match-ups prove who the better team is when both teams end up with the same record?
No, you are horrible at putting words in people's mouths, stop.
Georgia doesn't get a playoff invite, gets ******* blown up in their bowl game, and finishes #5 in their poll while Texas is #15. I find that funny.
Records speak for themselves. ISU proved how good they were over a whole season. 8-4 is 8-4 unless you have a crap schedule which ISU did not. And they proved they could hang with a NY6 level team in the bowl game.
Funny how squeaking by a 5-7 KSU team is looked down on but squeaking by a 4-8 Nebraska team is ok.
Iowa dominated Nebraska for 3 quarters and let them back into the game when they went into clock-draining mode in the 4th quarter. Not even close to the same thing as Iowa State getting thoroughly outplayed by Kansas State for 50 minutes. Nice try though.
They should probably learn to play for the entire football game. That’s sorta how that works.
No argument from me, just pointing out that equating the Iowa/Nebraska game to the ISU/KSU game is stupid. Two totally different situations.
