I'll dumb it down a little for you too. Wouldn't Jordan have to play lock down defense for Iowa to finish 33-0? No defense = no undefeated season. No defense = no league recognition. See how that works?
To put it simply, Jordan plays good defense and he makes one of those teams. The end.
Well if we had one awesome rim protector, it could have masked his bad defense and we could have won more conference games, which would have given him a better chance to make a team, even tho he's the same player.
