Coaches Poll is out - Iowa stays at #8
I'm figuring it out now. Iowa this week has .736 points percentage this week, up .033from last week. Cincy has a .763 points percentage among the coaches, up just .015 from last week, so we gained on them. Boise has a points percentage of .781, steady from last week, so we gain on them, too.

Coaches Poll is out - Iowa stays at #8
We'd have to know what the percentage of points we got versus the other two teams in question. That's how it's factored in the BCS formula. -

Team Nickname
How about the Cardiac Arrest Hawks, because they cause more Hawkeye fans to need CPR than in other years. -

MSU Win: What Does It Mean?
Yes, Iowa now has "control of its own destiny" as it were, meaning they simply have control of the Big Ten race, having a 1/2-game lead on tOSU, a virtual 2-game lead on Penn State and virtual 2-1/2-game lead on Michigan State now. (Virtual as in having the head-to-head tie-breaker.) -

BCS beyond top three too close to call
UNI is still +.500, as are ISU and Arizona, so the ISU and Arizona wins will help more than UNI's loss will hurt. -

He'll get a game suspension from D'Antonio or the Big Ten offices. -

We need sound off at night
As I said earlier, WMT-AM 600 in Cedar Rapids (also carried on KXIC-AM 800) has the Hawkeye Huddle after all Iowa football games, no matter how late they go. Morning host Andy Petersen, afternoon drive time host Bob Bruce and former Hawkeye Eric Thigpen run that show. -

Iowa State 8-0 After Beating Mississippi
Typical from someone outside the Midwest. I'll bet he can't even find the state of Iowa on a U.S. map. Heck, he probably can't locate Iowa on an Iowa road map. -

Does the MSU player that KO'ed Colin get a
I wouldn't be surprised if he does have to sit. BTW, SportsCenter late edition is showing Iowa-MSU highlights now. -

MSU Win: What Does It Mean?
Tiebreakers in the Big Ten for the automatic BCS berth (typically Rose Bowl) 1. Head-to-head (we have it now over Penn State, Wisconsin and Michigan State) 2. Overall record If we were to continue to win heading into our meeting with tOSU, and they win out, too, through then, then if the... -

ESPN College Football Final helmet stickers
Ricky Stanzi and Jesse Smith (ISU LB) both got helmet stickers from the College Football Final gang. Now that's saying something about the state's teams. -

I wonder how many babies are going to be born around July 24, 2010. -

time management
I have to agree with that sentiment. The Hawkeyes offense used every milisecond of that 1:32 to score and not allow Michigan State a chance to counter that. I had a feeling that Sparty gave us too much time when they scored with 1:37 to go. I thought with one TO and a good return, we had a... -

We need an injury report ASAP
Well, Ward did get what was coming to him in the form of a 15-yard penalty. At least it set up the go-ahead FG (at least temporarily). -

We need sound off at night
I have to say "Amen" to all of that. At least 600 does the Liberty Link Hawkeye Huddle after ALL games, even if they have to stay on the air past midnight on prime time games. -

What will the talking heads say about this win?
On College Football Final, Lou Holtz was saying that the Hawks just find ways to win, and they could be a contender for the national championship if they keep winning. -

BCS beyond top three too close to call
ESPN's BCS expert Brad Edwards expects Florida, Alabama and Texas to remain 1, 2 and 3, but 4 through 9 will be too close to call. That includes Boise, Cincy, Iowa, USC, LSU and TCU. -

should iowa jump cinncy and bosie
My prediction for tomorrow's second BCS standings after today's games: 1. Florida (struggled, but won solidly over Miss. St.) 2. Texas (trounced a tough Mizzou) 3. Alabama (had to block two FGs against Tennessee to win, sound familiar?) 4. Iowa (showed moxy in East Lansing) 5. TCU...
