Here’s the thing, no one including the selection committee will care that that T changed the dynamic of the game or that Tyler Cook didn’t play. There is no * next to losses or wins explaining. Simply win or lose. All that matters and anyone will talk about it is this awful loss. This would be just awful. PSU is bad. Not a surprising loss for Iowa as they are immune to prolonged success.
Fran’s lineups and defensive coaching a big part of it as well. This is just who Iowa is under Fran.
