More crap from Finebaum on Iowa

[okieviaiowa]

[h=2]Paul Finebaum (@finebaum)[/h]11/11/15, 1:43 PM According to @DannySheridan1, No. 5 Iowa would be an underdog on a neutral field against every other team ranked in the CFP poll top 17.

Well, Minnesota could have and maybe should have beaten TCU on their home field. Maybe we will learn something about that logic Saturday. Probably not. Everyone is discounting the Stanford loss to Northwestern because it was the first game.

I like how he had to stop at 17 because we crushed 18.

I guess our 2002 loss to ISU should have not counted

Public opinion plays a role in setting betting lines and the most popular sports network consistently tells the public we aren't good so that isn't surprising

I bet USC would be favored over more than half of the teams in the top 25. Does that mean we should have a three loss team in the top ten? Gotta prove it on the field

Since when do we get to just throw out the first game of the season????????? What the hell kind of logic are these idiots using? The first game counts for exactly as many Ws or Ls as the last game. 1. And Stanford lost it!

Of course he stopped at 17. Even he recognizes it would have been stupid to include 18. However, his point is that he thinks Michigan State, Michigan, Mississippi State, Florida, etc. would be favored on a neutral field. I'd like to hear some Vegas expert give his opinion on who he thinks would be favored in these games.

That was exactly my reaction! "Geez, what a coincidence."
