Where I struggle is the suggestion that it is all or nothing. I am not one to normally say that because a robot says it, it must be correct. I also recognize human polling bias. Both have flaws. Here, Sagarin's system has an obvious flaw if it ranks Iowa ahead of Iowa State right now. But...

Its a bit unusual for an inconsistent team to put together 2 performances in a row where they play a near perfect game. UCLA played incredibly well in Lincoln, and the game was still in doubt at the end. It might be hard to match that intensity and clean play 6 days later. Also, Iowa is the...

But that's not the point of this thread. Fry is stating that as an overall proposition, Iowa is ranked ahead of ISU based upon body of work to date. I disagree. I don't envision a universe where one team has a head to head victory on the road, and 1 loss versus 3, and the second team is...

Just because a computer spits something out does not make it objective. Computer programs are created through the subjective whims of its creators. If there were an objective way to create a SOS computer program, then there would be only one such program. There are lots of them, and they all...

Also, it was odd to see a Wisky team get run over like that, and really just throw in the towel at the end. Iowa's running game is good, but Wisky should have been better than that. I don't think they have the right coach there.

Respectfully, the computer rankings are only as good as the programming and assumptions that the human creating the software puts into them. Very few of these ranking systems share the entirety of their secret sauce. I think they are useful tools, but I don't find them to be any less...

T That Iowa is somehow ranked ahead of Iowa State in this system. Talk about smell test issues.....

That Johnson is special is beyond debate. He looks like someone who will be playing on Sundays. But, the offensive line has also been damn good most of this year.

While I don't disagree with that, the reality is that 2 of our top 3 QBs are currently not playing due to injury. Most college programs only carry 4 scholarship QBs, so this would be a scary situation for about any team. Add to that you have Resar moving positions and we are dangerously thin...

Personally, I would prefer that CM clear concussion protocol and be available as a back-up. Sully takes a lot of hits and if he gets knocked out of the game, I would rather have Cade than the kid I honestly had not heard of until about 5 days ago. We are thin as hell in that QB room right now...

Both decisions were sins of stupidity, but at least with Hill the backup was a freshmen who had never taken a snap. KF has always mistrusted younger QBs with the exceptions of Tate and Stanley. So, the Hill decision was somewhat justified by KF standards and logic. This year was so worse. CM...

That was Eric Stratton, Rush Chairman, he was damn glad to meet you.

3 out of 4 years with the same bowl? They will find a way around that. We need some fresh blood on bowl tie ins and opponents. It seems like all we do is bowls in Florida vs the SEC. We are cursed to repeat the same bowls being so consistently right below greatness......

I am not totally following the pecking order thing. Iowa is currently 5th in the Big Ten. If the season ended today and four teams made it to the playoffs from the conference, wouldn't we be at the top of the pecking order for bowl selection?

Que Fry's rant on how dumb bowls are. The Outback Bowl is a lot of fun. I watched Florida kick the living shit out of us there in 2017.

When I saw the title of this thread, I thought it was a joke. I guess that is what KF has done to us. Made us question the obvious. I hope CM is ready and recovered and available as a back-up. That room is thin and this is a huge game. But, BS just lead the team to two blow-out victories...

The torches and pitchforks are certainly out here in Nebraska. Riaolla is regressing. He isn't just making freshmen mistakes, he just isn't making improvements from week to week. And the kid is ridiculously talented. Some want the OC fired. Nebbie could absolutely lose out. at USC and Iowa...

We are playing UCLA at the worst time. They have found an identity and went into Lincoln and beat a confident Nebraska team. Really kicked their ass. UCLA is legit up front on D. Our OL better eat their protein for breakfast next weekend. The offense has some playmakers. Traveling to the...

Take a bow. This wasn't far off and no one else predicted this big an ass whooping

Wonder what that feels like.....
