Every year it's the same argument, and yet every year we see the same thing. Unless ND wins out, it will be 4 conference champions from the P5. Honestly, it looks like PAC-10 will be left out. And if ND wins out, my guess is that the Big 12 champ gets left out.

I think it's safe to say that any defense or offense has great room for improvement. That's like saying we could all stand to be a little smarter. Your post is uninformative.

Perhaps you should look at how much PSU usually scores per game and what Iowa held them to. Or maybe look at the fact that ISU put 38 on #3 Oklahoma in regulation. But if you need to look at the aberration in Iowa's defensive scoring stats and rely only on anecdotal evidence, that's totally...

It's not like I usually agree with joshbrown an co., but in all three losses this season, the offense only needed to score 21 or more to win... and they are only allowing 17.4 per game... so I think that it's pretty safe to say that the offense is the low-hanging fruit here.

How many other Big Ten coaches can you say the same thing about? Dantonio had two losses between 9/23 and 10/28 PJ Fleck has four between 9/30 and 10/28 Jim Harbaugh had 2 in 3 weeks in October Only Penn State and Wisconsin have the same number of losses in 2017 season. Should we expand this...

And that is how the Penn State game was not an aberration. Thanks Deano

Which has been a constant this season. The defense just simply isn't allowing TDs in the red zone. Through the whole season, Iowa is averaging allowing 1.9 TDs per game. Consistently stopping a team from a TD inside the 10 means that PSU's inability to punch one in that close is not an...

So you're going to call the PSU score an aberration when Iowa has the 12th best scoring defense in the country? And PSU has the 14th best scoring offense? Brother, it's only an aberration if it doesn't fit the pattern of the season, and outside of the ISU game (which now looks a lot better...

Why is this a thing? Greg Davis isn't here anymore and KOK is back. So... you want to retroactively re-score those bowl games?

With that I absolutely agree, way too many people consume a lonely piece of information without corroborating it or even thinking about it. It used to be fairly well confined to grocery store tabloids with "B-52 Bomber found on Moon" or "Lizard Baby born to Half-Ape Half-Human Bearded Lady"...

Except that many conspiracy theorists use the term to describe themselves, as it is a description, not an epithet, while I doubt anybody embraces the term "sheeple." But if you want to get into a discussion of denotation vs. connotation then that's totally fine. I'll split hairs with the best...

"Spying" on everybody, not so much, but collecting data on, yes. There was literally so much data collected by the NSA on the general public that only data related to those suspected of terrorism was ever even looked at.

I think you don't understand irony... or the term conspiracy theorist. It's the label given to people who often complain about the sheeple. Here's one of those SAT analogies to help clear it up: Sheeple : Conspiracy theorist Conspiracy theorist : People making fun of conspiracy theorists

I think the issue is that one of the non-reviewable items is forward progress and when/where it happened. It's not that he didn't fumble, it's that the call on the field was down by forward progress, which shouldn't be reviewable, whistle or not.

I choose to not worry about who/how/why JFK was assassinated, as I doubt I'll ever have enough information to prove or disprove any theory that has any real evidence. But I can safely say that I would not posit aliens or the Illuminati, either.

Blasphemy! No coach of gophers will ever impress me!

I automatically dismiss people who use the term "sheeple" when trying to get people to change their minds. It's a tool of the conspiracy theorist who needs to shock and awe his audience to gain any traction when he tries to hide his irrational, illogical claims from good free-thinking folk...

So I generally agree with you on most takes... and for this I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and ask a few questions. 1. I imagine that there are food vendors, ushers, and older folks on or near the sidelines. If Brian had done what he did on the sidelines, is it that big of a...

Too many people misunderstand Occam's Razor. Given two or more theories that both equally explain the observations at hand, the one with the fewest assumptions is the most preferred. Case 1 assumptions: Alabama reads BHGP or HN. Alabama chose to not look at some pretty obvious rules that the...

Because Bama is clearly the most ethical school of all when it comes to recruiting. C'mon, they have an entire team of attorneys on retainer to run this stuff by. Bama knows they won't get slapped for this because nobody can prove harm if Nixon ends up coming to Iowa or going somewhere other...
