I'm just glad we're better than Temple.

 

[Hawkeye11en1]

Equal to: Georgia, Washington, W Virginia, TCU,

Worse than: Auburn, A&M, Tech

Might throw Syracuse in there since they whooped up on WV, but I don't know if that was a fluke or not. Still think we might be as good as Auburn. Not sure about them.
