This is why they need to expand the number of teams in the playoff. There are so many teams that improve as the season goes by. Also, if your strength of schedule exceeds other teams that just squeak in before you then the playoff is a joke and a failure. What is it now, twelve teams. Ok, play one more round of games and make it 24 teams. For decades they have talked and advertised top-twenty and top twenty-five rankings. Well if that is so damn important then include that group into the playoffs and lets see who really is the best. If it's not that important then lets do that with college basketball........ and just play the top 16 teams in college basketball.
It only makes good money sense also. One more game of twenty-four teams to get to the twelve we now have. The fans bases of twelve more teams. Seriously??? CHA CHING!!!!!!!! It would be a rainmaker financial for the playoff's and bring in millions of fans who would have a sports vested interest during playoffs. It would also add credibility and consideration based on a teams over all loss record When considering the strength of schedule that can strongly determine the win/loss factors. We damn near beat one of the top three teams in the playoffs. Now 8-4 wouldn't have cut it for Iowa this year but 9-3 .............. outside chance maybe. Maybe we would have had some hope at two or three losses, with a 24 team playoff.
from the article........... James Madison, Duke, and Virginia............ let's get effing real here. By the fourth Quarter Iowa's offense would be running through their defenses like a red hot knife through butter.......... and that is why the playoff system needs more teams.
Let's cut through the chase and see who really is the best team at the end of the season. The more teams included the more we will find out. James "EFFING" Madison................... Seriously??? Did you see who was rated above them??? Let's match James Madison against our Hawkeyes in the first round............. Results??? Seriously??? Nebraska would beat James Madison. "EFFED UP!!!!!!!!!!"
