Brad Edwards comments on Iowa and BCS

Brad, do you see Iowa slipping in the BCS standings after playing Indiana this week? That is assuming they beat Indiana and the other top teams win this week.
Brad Edwards (3:19 PM)





Indiana won't help Iowa in the computers, and neither will Northwestern the following week. It might be enough of a negative impact to drop the Hawkeyes from No. 1 in the computers, but they could very well retake the top spot if they beat Ohio State on Nov. 14. Regardless, Iowa will continue to be highly ranked in the computer element because of its quality road wins. The issue for the Hawkeyes is the lack of support they have in the polls. This must improve for them to be able to capitalize if Texas loses.


Gotta like hearing that. Just need to win some football games and the pollsters will follow, IMO.

I assure everyone that Iowa will be #1 in the Computer rankings if they win out. Their Opponents combined records are currently 38-22...their final four opponents are currently 4-4, 5-3, 6-2, and 4-4. That isn't going to hurt you.

Yea, but they'll all have at least one more loss by the end of the year. (Actually probably more as some of these teams play each other.)
