It wasn't the Iowa vs ISU game that stopped me from posting. It is the fact that ignorant dumbazzes just overrun that place. For instance they go apesh!t that I said ISU is 7 deep.....It is simply a fact, and they go apesh!t about it.
BTW nice try lying to me about your name over there.....I see right through that weak azz sauce Jambalaya.....
When looking at the impact on overall rank in the computer rankings probably very little difference. However, when looking at it you have to consider Iowa State will probably have several top 25 rpi home victories and likely very few top ~50 road wins. That's why it's more valuable.
I'm here all season, including the whole offseason and have been. Of course I like Iowa and have no problem rooting for them.

Bryce you are an example of an ISU fan that I like to see on this site. You aren't here to instigate and aren't afraid to admit it when your team stinks. You don't go crawling off into a hole to wait for the next opportunity to hijack a thread. Unfortunately you are in the minority, especially since ISU is now in the midst of their best start in school history. All of the annoying lil bro sydrome sufferers are coming out of the woodwork.

Funny how the Clones seem to have won both of the head to heads the last two years even though they left Carver with a loss.
Yeah the ratings are great. But the reality is that come selection sunday, the committee is going to look at iowa and say:
"Their best out of conference win is Xavier". IMO Iowa has blown a big opportunity with this pre season to be undefeated and highly ranked going into the Big 10. Instead they blew two games and now have losses to Nova and ISU. At the same time, I think losing those games will help them in the long run and they will figure it out.

I highly doubt the committee is going to spend much time stewing over Iowa's non-conference schedule. If Iowa wins @Wisc, @MSU, and @OhioSt (highly unlikely), do you really think the committee is going to say "Yeah, but who did they beat in the non-conference..."? If Iowa gets a couple signature wins in B1G play, they will be seeded quite highly come NCAA tournament time (5 or higher).
I still want to know the answer to this. Was it a coincidence?
I hope so. But what if they don't perform as well as anticipated in the conference season?
While saying this, I have no doubts that they'll get into the tournament. I'm simply considering all possibilities for how their season could play out.
What if teams like Purdue, indiana, illinois turn out to be good and can beat iowa? The hawks went 0.500 in the conference last year (an incredible conference) and didn't get in. And the reasoning was, they needed a better out of conference resume. I'm a tiny bit fearful that we could be hearing that again.

Well if we lose to all those teams, we probably don't deserve to be in anyway so there's no use worrying about the non-conf schedule. We're 38th in RPI right now, last year we never cracked the top 50. We're much better off this year than last heading into the B10.
