then you clearly have an issue with them, or their conference. They would handle all three of those teams you have listed with them. OU is in, done deal.

that this year's Iowa team is fools gold and appears much better than they actually are due to a favorable schedule.

a disgrace of a non conference schedule to pad some W's, then more than half of Iowa's conference wins are against god awful Neb, PSU, and NW. Iowa didn't beat one of the top 4 teams in the big 10.

not a tournament worthy team. you're wasting your time paying attention to RPI and "the bubble".

apparently i'm not the only one that thinks this. from ESPN:

I think everyone with non black-and-gold-colored glasses already realizes this.

Iowa has 20 wins, which seems to be a pre-requisite for bubble status this year. So, they do have that. However, because almost all of those Big 10 wins were against Nebraska, Penn State, Northwestern, Purdue, teams that combined to win 19 conference games this year, the only way Iowa could have gotten in was if they made up the lack of big conference wins with big non-con wins. And as we all know, their non-con schedule was 308th or something in the country.

Bottom line: they do have a nice quantity of wins, but the quality of most of them is below what you would expect for any NCAA-bound team. If they don't win the Big 10 tournament, they aren't getting in.

I don't get this line of thinking at all, Iowa appears to have finished exactly where they should in the B10. They did very well against the teams that finished below them (8-3), they split with the 5th place team and went 0-5, with a couple close losses against the 4 teams bunched at the top. Based on these results, I don't see how you can suggest their conference record is fools gold, the results seem to show they are the 6th best team in a very good league.

And having a weak schedule also denied Iowa of a chance to play OSU or Michigan at home, if we get one of those teams in Carver and knocked them off, then we're probably already in the tournament at this point.
 


The amount of non hawk fans that are posting on this site, caring about our opinion, is amazing. What a pathetic use of your time going over to bubble teams sites in lame attempts to crush people's hopes. You remind me of school bullies whose lives are so miserable that they have to make other people's lives miserable so they feal better. You are probably to weak to bully in person so you need a Internet forum, I feel bad for you.

Clones were 3-7 against top 50. 2-5 against Top 25. What are you using for a source? May want to find more reliable information.

OU has 6 wins over tournament teams. they have 1 bad loss. RPI at 32, SOS of 18. RPI won't move really at all even if they lose to ISU in first round of Big XII Tournament. They're a tournament team. pretty much all pundits not named doug gottlieb, OSU grad, agree.

If you can't see that, then that's a you problem.

I agree they are in - you can disagree with it because you think the Big 12 is overrated but they have the wins and RPI to get in. Much like ISU they are safely in

Good thing you left off that 1/3 of their wins came against teams who won combined 28 or more conference games depending on today's results. Finished ahead of 2 of those teams. But hey don't let facts get in your way.
