The same Sagarin that had Maryland 12 spots behind Kansas at #97 in the country?

Fair enough. Both were bad. Big difference in 12 spots. IIRC Hawks were 14 spots higher than ISU.
D. KF sees the recruiting numbers suffer next year due to the twitterverse. Announces that next year will be his final year and rides off into the sunset leaving a mess for someone else to clean up.
I mean are you scared of losing to Maryland or something? You could rest your starters and still beat them. They're that bad
No. Actually a good game to start with. Are you scared of Kansas? They were terrible last year too.

Won by double digits. Purdy was unreal. 372 passing yards and 4 TD's in the air plus 1 TD on the ground
Kansas had 2 P5 wins last year one v. BC that had 5 P5 wins. Maryland had one which was Rutgers who had none.
Well, according to Sagarin ISU played the #5 schedule and Iowa played the #30 schedule but sure, Iowa's was tougher.
"Lies, damned lies, and statistics" is a phrase describing the persuasive power of numbers, particularly the use of statistics to bolster weak arguments. It is also sometimes colloquially used to doubt statistics used to prove an opponent's point.
The phrase derives from the full sentence, "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics."; it was popularized in the United States by Mark Twain and others, who mistakenly attributed it to the British prime minister Benjamin Disraeli.[1] The phrase is not found in any of Disraeli's works and the earliest known appearances were years after his death.[1] The phrase was attributed to an anonymous writer in mid-1891 and later that year to Sir Charles Dilke,[1] but several others have been listed as originators of the quote,[1] including frequent erroneous attribution to Twain himself.[2][1]"
Care to respond?
That wasn't what was being discussed or even mentioned. Try harder to keep up.
I didn't say we played better against the tougher schedule, only that ISU played a tougher schedule.
