My point is there is zero chance Minny escapes with just one conference loss.

They still have to play Penn State, @iowa, and Wisconsin. They go 1-2 against that group at best.

How do we know that though? Just as unsure as Iowa winning out. But given what we’ve seen from Minnesota so far that is more likely than Iowa. Also, did Iowa suddenly become less predictable and more offensively creative because Wisconsin lost? This shows that Illinois is not going to be an easy win either now and Iowa still has to play them.

What happens if minny, iowa, wisco all have the same record....wisco beats iowa....iowa beats minny....and minny beats wisco? I have not done the math to see if this is possible edit...it could happen...ohio st beats Wisconsin and minny beats Wisconsin. Minny loses to penn st, iowa, and northwestern. All teams have 5-3 records. Who then gets to go to BTT game?

I think Iowa wins that tie-break because they'd have a better division record ( 1 loss, compared to 2 for the others )

Or, Iowa wins because you eliminate Wis because they won last year, and Iowa beat the Goofs.

If you're going that route, how do we know anything?

As offensively inept as we've looked, we've also beat an ISU team with a pulse and kept it close with two of the top dogs in the East.

Minnesota needed late game heroics to beat SDSU, Fresno State, and Georgia Southern, and have beat up on a weak schedule. If they hold their own against PSU, then we'll talk, but until then I'm not buying it.

Eh. 1/3 of their rushing yardage came on 1 carry. Minus that they ran for 2.8 ypc.

They beat Wisconsin on forcing turnovers, limiting Taylor, and literally just 3 big plays on O. Hell, their QB was 9/21.

With our offense every game on our schedule can be lost

 

[hawkdrummer1]

Minnesota and Wisconsin both control their own destiny at this point. Iowa can't again, unless Minnesota loses to someone other than Iowa.

What will our ypc be against Wisconsin ? 1.6? We had around 3 against freaking Purdue

Not wrong. But with our defense every one can be won.

Admit it, as Iowa fans we've seen crazier shit.

 

[HawksMN]

Bottom line, the West will field a pretty pathetic team for the BIG title game, now that Cheesepenis has proven they aren't all that. Minnesota....yikes if they are the representative oh Lord lose to OSU 50-0.

BV, most of that has been against us

Minney will get poop canned by PSU.

 

[smitharooney]

and iowa's passing game puts theirs to shame. 9 completions and they beat wisconsin. they beat wisconsin, right?

i don't know when a Win is a Win anymore.

There are fans that piss and moan after a win as much as after a loss. Life must be great to be miserable.

Then there are fans who piss and moan about other fans . That’s just brilliant . Welcome to communist China where people can’t voice their opinions . Stay in your corner and stop crying about people on a message board .

 

[DSHAWKFAN]

Why would we want to send THIS team to Indianapolis to get their asses handed to the by Ohio State on national television. They have already embarrassed us enough on national tv with the Michigan and PennState games.

Crazy shit like putting the ball in the end zone ? Yeah I’ve seen it and I miss it

Exactly, we will not know who we want to win the Wisky-Minny game for awhile or if that game will even matter.

Communist China? Crying about people on a message board?

 

[uihawk82]

Wisconsin can lose 2 more games if/when they beat us. We would both have 3 losses and they would win the head to head. We are not going to win the west, my God what do some people smoke on here. We will be lucky to beat Minnesota and Illinois at home.

I know what you are saying but if Iowa can even improve the running game a little bit, more consistency at about 4 ypc but I think to do that the hawks need to pass the defenses away from loading the box with 8 guys

Lebron James? Is that you?

Who said you can't piss and moan? Did I say that?
People with no argument are the first ones to whine that they're being told to shut up.

Stop wetting yourself just because you get some pushback.

A) Stupid analogy. The First Amendment protects your speech from the government, NOT other citizens.

Which leads me to

B) If you don't wanna get called out for posting stupid shit, don't post stupid shit.
