So what are we arguing about? IMO the media LOVES to overate the Big 11. MSU does not deserve to be rated.

-keep As far as I can tell, all these numbers do is rank teams' schedules based on the winning % of last year. It's not actually a SOS at all.

ISU has two on that list, in Kansas and Mizzou.
Iowa's OOC of Maine and Fla International are certainly cupcakes, then there is the game with the 'equals' Iowa and Iowa State...and Iowa plays at Pitt. ISU plays FCS South Dakota State, Kent State and UNLV. It would be sort of picking nits here, don't you think?
That ESPN poll has five Big Ten teams on it, and five B12 teams on it.
So what are we arguing about? Who cares about pre-season rankings...How many times has the Big Ten had five teams in a pre-season, and have 2 by November?
The Big Ten, for all of its' built-in advantages (history, attendance, alumni, fanbase, population base, recruiting base) is severely UNDERACHIEVING.
1969-2001 >>No OUTRIGHT National Champions in FB.
thirty-two fricking years
suck on that | |

I really think by the end of the season Iowa's schedule isn't going to look so easy anymore. | |

I didn't realize a football team could HAVE a losing season with a marshmallow season like that, but we're talking about EIU, here...

It won't matter. EIU's only alleged rivals are Ohio State and Michigan who they don't even play. I hardly understand how those schools qualify as rivals for Iowa considering Iowa just rolls over and dies when they play them. I would say a team like Western Michigan would make more sense as a rivalry for Iowa. Whoops... Forgot they rolled over and played dead for them too. I guess ISU would be their rival then. Historically Iowa has done well against ISU but for the last decade they have pretty much rolled over and died for us as well. I am struggling to find a rival for the Hacks here... Indiana.... nope. Northestern.... probably not. Help anyone... | |
