Iowa will be ranked above ISU tomorrow

Although I'm happy, if I'm Toledo, I'm pretty upset right now.

They have beaten absolutely nobody. I don’t care. Anybody else care about Toledo?

On a side note for rankings.... Hawks 3 non-conf opponents are 18-6.

Whaaaaaa ..... I thought they played one of the weakest non-cons in the history of football???!!!

I have no arguments with anything you said. I'm still not a believer in Michigan State, but with only two losses, I can't argue too much about them being ranked.

It would be kind of cool if both Iowa and Iowa State were ranked next week, but I think it's gonna take a win next week to get you guys in (or win the last two weeks if you lose next week)

Reality: Losing to Texas AT HOME IS A BAD LOSS. West Virginia is average but not a bad loss. Iowa is decent but you still lost AT HOME TO THEM.

Reality: Iowa lost on the road in OT to an average (6-3) NW team but not a bad loss. Iowa lost at ranked MSU in a one possession game. MSU is a solid football team. Iowa lost to a top 5 ranked PSU team on the last play of the game. Not a bad loss at all. And again in case you forgot, Iowa won AT ISU. It is about damn time that a win over ISU counts for something besides criticism of a weak schedule.

As far as rankings, you can have the #24 spot. I will take Iowa's win in Ames any day.

I respectfully disagree on several of your points. Texas isn't any more of a bad loss than Northwestern. I have been saying all year that PSU is overrated as they got their rankings playing average at best teams (unless you count Michigan, but they are a bit of a train wreck depending on the week). MSU is a lot better than i gave them credit for earlier, but still don't think they are gpoing to be a top 25 team by the end of the season.

If you read my earlier post, i agree that Iowa's win in Ames should mean something. I would have no qualms what so ever if Iowa was (and probably should be) ranked ahead of ISU.
