Iowa Wins Big Ten Tuneup; Huge Challenges Await

I agree Stormin. Just like all those Clone fans strokin' their chicken because they are 11-2 and upset they aren't ranked either. Heard on ESPNU the other night that Iowa State has played the easiest non-con schedule in the country for a BCS level team. Thing is Iowa State is playing in a conference who doesn't have an elite upper half and then a huge dropoff so a winnable conference slate is very possible for Iowa State. Northwestern is going to have a more difficult time winning like they have been lately in the Big 10.

Who in Hades thinks ISU should be ranked? I want a link so I can personally chastise them. I haven't seen what you proclaim. There's a large thread on CF ripping the scheudle and no mention of deserving to be ranked.

I haven't heard one Clone fan complain that we are not ranked. Our biggest win is at Iowa...that will not get you ranked.

I'm happy that we are 11-2, because with a coach leaving and having 4 scholarship players, it could've been much, much worse.

Both Iowa and ISU will struggle mightily in their respective conferences.

The first half of a college basketball game is one of the most meaningless 20 minutes in all of sport....other than the first three quarters of an NBA game.

I disagree.

AND the UConn women's winning streak...those three things....and this thermos. But that's it.

THANK YOU on the UConn women comment, it isn't impressive or mean something when the sport in general is awful. No way should they be beating Top 25 schools by an average of 30 pts/game if the sport has "advanced" so far in the last 30 years.
