"I kind of like where @GottliebShow is at on Iowa. I don’t think it’s going to happen, but they’re a good random committee surprise candidate"

"Basically the only thing saying Iowa isn’t one of the best 40 or so teams in the country is the RPI. Even the eye test approves."

Just FYI
 


I think the "12 Angry Men" rule applies. Give one persuasive person enough time in a room with a group of other people and that person can convince the group of just about anything.

Here's hoping Iowa has a Henry Fonda on the committee.
 






Just read Bubble Talk for the last time. Hawks got a nice prop up by Brennan in it. Not saying they are in...but still something positive.
 


Brennan is from Iowa ... but I always thought he was either a Hawk-hater or tried to hard to hide his bias, because he's not had anything nice to say about the Hawks until now ...

"The biggest litmus test for selection committee dogma -- for the predictable nexus of RPI, SOS, nonconference schedule and performance against the various nitty-gritty rankings breakdowns (top 50, top 100 and so on) that have made bracket selection a relatively predictable affair -- will be the Iowa Hawkeyes. The Hawks lost to Michigan State in a close game Friday and were the victims of a few questionable calls down the stretch. They were also one of the 40 or so best teams in the country by just about every metric except the RPI, and their performance -- even if you are relying on sketchy criteria like conference record (9-9 in the Big Ten), per-possession statistics (the Hawks play top-20 efficiency defense) or even the infamous "eye test" -- make the Hawkeyes look like a much better team than a handful of more staid bubble contenders."


and he probably lurks here on HN, too
