Isn't every team a possible title contender?
You're not taking anything away from ISU, you're taking things away from Iowa. I don't get the bolded I've seen it thrown out alot since the game. If they were very close to their averages then wouldn't that mean ISU was...well...average?
I just LOL when people think that ISU or Iowa is gonna come out and hit all their season Avg. against quality teams......ISU played well, they just faced a team that is as good as them.....this means you aren't going to dominate the stats like you will against Auburn.
I though last year's ISU team was actually better than this years, but Iowa won last season because the game was at Carver
Uh, not if their "averages" are good. If a team averages 100 PPG on offense, and they score 100 their next game.. "Meh, that's an average offense". I think not.
So if ISU continues to score 90 PPG, you will consider that average? Or Duke's usual 30 wins per season.. Just average? Interesting perspective.
