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

ISU coaches are very, very high on Dekkers.

Let's just say he's not exactly a team first guy and leave it at that. He would chafe under Iowa's culture like sandpaper.

KF and Rattler are oil and water. There is just no way they would get along.

The rumors about his on-court activities have not been good even before this broke. It's a bummer but I have my doubts he'll ever play at an all conference level or anything even before this.

I'm glad the OP is here to remind people not to have too much fun. This is serious business.

That appears to be a feature and not a bug at this point.

Unless things change OU's offense actually isn't that good. That's the real problem with their team. Somebody will jump up and bite them. If they were just rolling teams in the noncon I think you could be skeptical of who would beat them, but when you beat NU and Tulane by one score each, I...

I don't think OU makes the CFP. I'd bet soundly against this.

good point completely forgot about them. They probably are in the drivers seat actually.
