I think from listening to him in the past is he’s a guy that has his pecking order of where the teams should be stacked. He has his top 10-15ish programs that considers the top tier prestige wise and Iowa’s not in it.. Now since Iowa did what they did and the powers that be had Iowa ranked so high late in the year due to them being perfect and how the other schools out there had done it became a national topic for guys like him to talk about. He’s not a fan of schools that crash the party. Especially ones that aren't flashy with a Heisman contender really. I think the reason to that is as simple as this. Name recognition is better for ratings. His program is national. Say he’s talking about Notre Dame, USC, Ohio State, Michigan, and Alabama as a top 5 for example he’s got pretty much the most amount of fans there can be tuned in day in and day out. You take out any of them for an Iowa and they can notice the ratings change I bet. So to combat that they have to stir the pot by firing up not only the Iowa fans to make sure they are all paying attention but the rest of the college football fan world to think Iowa don’t belong so they have a story line to follow… Now I’m not a media guy at all and I bet Jon Miller could answer to this sort of thing better than I but that’s my 2 cents worth of a guess.He is wrong, because 1) Iowa didn't choose which teams were in the western division teams, 2) didn't create the crossover BIG10 schedule and 3) all other Power 5 schools typically have a couple of cupcakes on their schedules. He is choosing to single out Iowa for what reason?
