Really really tired of hearing "watch them play" as a metric for ranking teams. I'm not intending to start ANOTHER thread about stupidity and bias on ESPN, but I suppose I am. I have a short drive to work and was listening to no more than 4 minutes of Mike and Mike and Herbie was on the show saying, "throw every metric you know out the window. Watch them (Alabama) play." So, it's absolutely a beauty contest. Who cares about wins and losses anymore.
This goes beyond trying to champion for Iowa at this point. Herbstreit is right when he says Iowa has nothing to worry about as long as they win out, and everyone knows Alabama is damn good, but to say the reason they deserve to be up there ahead of unbeatens is because they "look good" is so ridiculous. They do look good! But they also have a loss to a 3 loss team at home. But that doesn't matter, cuz bama. OK
He has now twice in two days asked Iowa fans publicly to stop tweeting him (which is hilarious).
