Not counting when Iowa beats top 25 teams and knocking them out of the rankings where if those teams had won, they’d count beating us is the dumbest thing I’ve ever read. Not counting Iowa say beating #22 USC to end the season and knocking them out of the final top 25, also, dumbest thing I’ve ever heard of. While I get what the base of this argument is, it’s too rigid and doesn’t account for a whole F ton of common sense

The statistic that Iowa has not beaten a team ranked in the final Top 25 since 2019 is a demonstrable objective fact.
You are entitled to your interpretation of this fact. As am I.
