Would Iowa State fans care if they went 8-4 with the worst SOS of all BCS teams and Iowa went 5-7 with a top ten schedule, or do you still think some of our fans would gloat?
A comparison using last year's records, which were comprised of last year's rosters, applied to this year's schedules...I guess that that's what it is, factually, but here is another fact; it doesn't mean jack squat...but by all means, gloat about it. I mean, that some kind of scoreboard, right? 'our 2008 slate, when you look at last year's opponents winning percentage with several players that won't take the field this year is stronger than yours!' ...that's kind of hard to fit on a t-shirt, so I guess this post will have to do.
