[HawgEyeState]

#23. I like Jeff Sagarin's regression / statistical analysis best.

Iowa's Strength of Schedule is #20th most Difficult schedule in the country.

Oh and those mighty UNI Panthers with their gaudy 25-3 record are #24, just BEHIND theeeeee
IOWA HAWKEYES.

For some reason, HN doesn't let me add links. So, if you google Jeff Sagarin College Basketball,
youll find the rankings. Or, these rankings are in USA Today SPorts every Tuesday

GO HAWKEYES

Thanks Wartburg.
Anyone else notice how much difference between AP / Coaches' Poll
& the Computer rankings?

Correct me if I am wrong, but most mock drafts have Villanova a #1 and Wisconsin a #2. I don't get that. Especially when you factor in schedule strength such as Sagarin's. 39 vs 19.

In addition, most have Wisconsin in Kentucky's region. I realize it's a proximity thing for Wisconsin fans but if Wisconsin isn't a one seed (which they should be IMO) then the slight is perpetuated by linking them with Kentucky.

hard to brag about being ranked ahead of UNI when they beat us on a neutral court. They are 30-3 against a softer schedule and much weaker conference, but a win-is-a-win-is-a-win! I'm hoping both teams do very well in the tourney and advance past the first weekend. Would be awesome to meet them down the road

And tOSU comes in at #16 with an SOS at #67.

WTF?

Iowa would crush the Panthers in a rematch.
