Are Alabama, Missouri, Arizona and Oklahoma better 2-loss teams?

Just heard this on ESPN. Said Oklahoma, Alabama, Arizona and Missouri are the best 2-loss teams in country. Really? Arizona is better than Iowa because they beat us head-to-head, Alabama I understand but Oklahoma and NOT Missouri. Thoughts? Where does Iowa stand in this?
 
Transitive BS of who beat who need not apply - we've been better than Arizona all along. The Big 12 is TERRIBLE this year. And I'll say we're better than Alabama as well, since the SEC-love has long been overdone.
 
We lose to Oklahoma and Bama. We already lost to Zona. The only team I see us beating is probably Missouri.

Why would we lose to these teams? Look past the names on the jerseys. Oklahoma is a below average team on the road, they just lost to Texas A&M. They struggled to put away Utah St. at home, which is much worse than struggling on the road with a conference opponent.

Alabama has one good win all year, on the road at Arkansas. That's it. They've lost to the only two decent teams they've played on the road. We are just as good as both of those teams.
 
pretty much they all looked like crap today. besides, everybody knows espn just employs idiots

Last week it was, "Ohio State better watch out for Iowa"...this week, "Iowa sucks"...it's all about how you play on that day. None of those teams mentioned are clearly better than Iowa and I wouldn't go into games against them assuming Iowa is better than they are...it's just ESPN trying to make talking points and they love them some SEC and Big12...it's not an unexpected comment...tonight.

I honestly don't care. I just want Iowa to win out. We'll see how Iowa compares when they play somebody (hopefully somebody good) in a bowl game.
 
MO couldn't hold our jockstraps. Their only signature win is over an average Oklahoma team who's sig wins are over two-unranked teams: 3-loss FSU and a 5-loss Texas team. Whooptydoo. 'Bama is better but I believe if we played AZ 10 times we'd win 7, especially if kickoff is before 8 CST and our special teams don't brainfart all day again.
 
The big difference between Iowa and Arizona/Oklahoma/Missouri is that all three of those teams have either been blown out or dropped a game to a mediocre opponent. If I had a vote in the AP poll I'd have Oklahoma and Missouri in the 17-19 range. Those were terrible losses today.
