    Iowa in Elite & Selective B1G Company at 12-0

    They also said in yesterday's broadcast that only 10 power 5 teams have accomplished this since the NCAA went to a 12 game schedule in 2006.

    Michigan's opening drive...

    That was a hostile road game in cold and windy conditions. The game against MSU will be inside on a neutral field. I like our chances.

    OT: Concussion-the movie?

    It's the true story of the doctor who discovered CTE in football players and how the NFL covered it up. And as the previous couple posters mentioned, the Frontline documentary on the subject is an absolute must watch. That said, the Will Smith movie will do far more to publicize this issue than...

    Why is everyone ignoring the question about Wadley?

    I find it funny that this thread died after Canzeri dominated the third quarter. Wadley will be the feature back next year.... But this is Jordan's time.

    If Les Miles gets fired...

    I can just see that interview: "Gary, why did you just fire a coach who started out 11-0 after so little was expected this season?" "Because a handful of trolls on a message board still aren't satisfied." "I'm taking the Iowa State job."

    Herbies latest projection.....

    You guys really should just enjoy the victories without setting your alarms for 6am to get up and check the rankings. Herbie himself has said that if we win out, we're in. Where he thinks we should be ranked now is not relevant. We don't need the validation from these fools. So RELAX, FOR THE...

    CFP Ranking prediction thread

    12-1 Iowa, a lock for the playoff?

    In this scenario, probably not. Teams that just lost it's conference championship game would almost certainly be out (Clemson, Iowa), UNLESS the alternative is a bunch of 2-loss teams. The committee prioritizes championships. So based on your scenario, Ohio State and Alabama are locks. Oklahoma...

    Our coaching staff deserves a lot of credit....

    A whole bunch of Iowa's 3 star recruits would have been classified as 4 stars if they'd gone to Ohio State or Alabama. The rating process is mostly about reputation.

    Gotta say-I liked the uniforms and I am not big one changing unis

    I liked everything about the uniforms except for that aspect. A matte helmet would have looked awesome with that ensemble.

    One loss Iowa in Playoff

    It's totally possible that a 1-loss Iowa is still in the mix, but probably only if they lose @Nebraska and then turn around and win the Big Ten title game. When the loss happens matters. Clemson still has to play a red hot North Carolina team in the ACC title game. Alabama has to play the Iron...

    Koehn miss

    Or just make the goalposts taller.

    Should Daniels have gone down?

    ...and if something bad happens when trying to kill over 2 minutes of clock, you'd all rip on Ferentz or LD for not scoring when he had the chance. It's possible to lose either way, and yet by some miracle we found a way to hold on and win. 10-0. Go team.

    FACT - Hawks win, MN loses, we move on, they slink home

    The D struggled a bit, but we're #5. We're going to get everyone's best shot from here forward. The Gophers made Michigan and Ohio State work hard to beat them the past two weeks. ...and I'm not complaining at all. We are 10-0. #6, #7, #9, and #10 all lost today. #8 probably should have.

    Sid Hartman: Iowa has no RBs like Weisman

    Then why didn't Canzeri? He was on those teams. Oh wait, that's right. He was hurt. Again. Nobody confuses Weisman with Barry Sanders, I get that. But he was durable for how much punishment he took, and 2600 yards, 32 TD in 3 seasons deserves more respect than he gets on here.

    Why is Iowa Winning the Close Games This Year?

    It's not just Beathard. It's the defense getting timely stops and turnovers. It's the punting and kicking pinning teams deep and making field goals. It's next man in. It's better execution overall on both sides of the ball. It's fewer penalties and turnovers. This team is doing all the...

    Cowherd rakes KF

    I don't listen to blowhards like Colin Cowherd. All they care about is making outlandish statements to get attention. But in general, I blame the Big Ten for giving us the two worst teams in the East as our crossover opponents. Replace Maryland and Indiana with games against Penn State and...

    Desmond King for Heisman !?!?

    I just FEEL like randomly CAPITALIZING words in MY sentences for dramatic EFFECT. That is ALL.

    Kittle has a little bit of Dallas Clark in his game.

    One lock ND is a FF lock ...

    There is no way LSU stays in the top 4 after that beatdown. And even if they do, there is also very little chance that an SEC team that doesn't win it's own division makes the playoff. The week to week rankings mean nothing. In the end, the committee will choose the 4 teams they want, and then...
