We've played like 2/3 of the season. Unless a team goes on a major losing or winning streak at this point rankings likely don't change much IMO. I agree I think Iowa is in barring a total collapse. When you look at the rankings that really only look at results of games (SOR, KPI, RPI) Iowa is in...

Iowa's press has been pretty effective all year. Cherry picking one stat seems weird though only Minny and Neb have worse defenses in the Big 10 per KenPom.

What does cheating even look like in 2022 with NIL? He might not have to break the rules anymore.

RPI is dead. If you look at the NCAA tourney seeding since they rolled out NET, at least for the top 8 seeds it hews pretty close to the NET ranking. I've seen some negativity around this Iowa team but I don't get it - haven't lost to anybody bad, great NET, outstanding legacy player in Keegan...

Who, other than Young, will end up in a better spot than ISU?

well maybe. Until we know who is using their super senior year and who isn’t I just don’t know

The only one I don't get is Young. But right now it's hard to say why this is happening or if it's anything to be concerned about.

Well, sort of. I actually think the Q1/2 wins and things like that only matter if they want to bump some team up or down. Since they've had NET, your overall net rating ties pretty dang close to the seed you get. And your overall rating will be effected by the number of really, really bad teams...

IMO the whole reason Iowa presses like they do is because they can't rebound. You need to force the turnovers before the shots start going up. Really it was only 12 TO's, because ISU let the shot clock expire without taking a shot under no pressure at the end of the game. If you're a team that...

Wasn't my question.

I think this is an easy answer honestly. Historically the AP poll cares only about results, wins and losses. Several of the algorithms really don't care about wins and losses, Kenpom specifically. It's just trying to predict who would win in upcoming matchups.

Metrics love Iowa this year. Bart Torvik has Iowa a 1.7 pt favorite, Sagarin has Iowa a 6 point favorite, etc.

maybe not. I feel bad for your co workers. Life’s too short.

No offense but Iowa is riding a 2 game losing streak. I think they feel some pressure as well. As far as the players go, they aren't worried about 2 years down the line or even next year. And I mean it when I say ISU fans already feel like we're playing with house money this year. It's just so...

Admittedly I'm not a fan of Fran. But I think he's done a great job raising the floor of the program. Does an awesome job developing players and identifying those players that can develop. I don't think Iowa will just out and out suck again with him as coach.

I will say there will always be some ISU fans that take the rivalry way too far, but honestly ISU fans are mostly just celebratory about this basketball team so far. The season and team are better than we could have possibly imagined to this point. Obviously I'm hopeful for a victory and I think...

UCF was a pretty ready made program for him and he basically had one great year there. Campbell took over a dumpster fire and has done a very good job by any measure.

As for the game on Saturday, it's as bad as ISU has looked in a long time against a team that isn't good. Just a terrible game unfortunately.

Home game against teams that are comparable in power ratings. Wisconsin was favored against Iowa yesterday too, same situation.

Well it's workin', keep it up guys
