TCU and Baylor both went 12-1 in 2013 I believe, couldn't make the playoff because the B12 didn't have a title game at the time. But you said TCU and Baylor are not relevant.

Sure in 2013 TCU and Baylor were great, 2019.... not so much as they were back then.

That has been the narrative around here for as long as I can remember, especially when Iowa loses against said unranked team.

I think the narrative has been you always play a much easier schedule than us so should win more which is actually accurate

Typically, that was because Iowa boosted ISU schedule. Now, ISU helps Iowas and with Nebraska, Purdue, and Minnesota improving it should all even out in the future.

Again, did you do any research whatsoever?

Games started.

Eisworth- 13
Lewis- 13
White- 5
Johnson- 4
Young- 3
Bowens- 1

At least try a little bit.

So if a guy started a game he is considered a starter? Not sure on your angle of replacing full time starters here.

When you start as many games as a starter, you're also a starter; see Braxton Lewis on that list.

Yeah this isn't accurate

So, ISU never was a bad game for Iowa? when they would go 3-9 or 4-8.... It is accurate. Now it helps boost it. as does the improvement of Purdue, Minnesota, and Nebraska.

I think most of yours are extremely homered too, do get to big a head there guy.

How so? You have stated over and over that Iowa's WR will be better this year than last year after losing your best WR and still haven't given a reason why you say that. I at least back up what I say

So he was all conference DB? did not know that. I thought that was Peavy. I said starters that replace the caliber of players that left.

The gap in SOS between Iowa and Iowa State since the Big 12 has gone to a round robin schedule has been so significant it's not due to one game

I give the same reasons as ISU fans with regards to upside of current players and transfers replacing NFL guys. Which obviously is not good enough because only ISU can improve and have better recruits.

Michgan and OSU, yes I know other division and we do not play them every year. Not really our fault though.
Ohio State is definitely the big dog, but I'm not so sure of the second. I'd probably say Wisconsin. They've made the most Big 10 Championship games out of anyone in the conference since 2011 (5 times), even Ohio State (4 times) (playing in the B10 West helps). Michigan has yet to make a Big 10 title game since the new divisions have been set. And FWIW they've lost to OSU 16 out of the last 18 times, which isn't a good look.
