Iowa Football: The Fake ID of College Football

This thread is about Iowa being a fake ID because of their schedule. The B1G has 7 times as many 1st round draft picks as the Big 12.
What do you guys get for this? I mean besides puffing out your chest on a rival's message board on a Friday night.
It just funny is all. ISU fans chest Thump about the Big12 conferences all the time 247. So it is funny to point out just how bad/easy the Big12 is.
I wouldn't think a top 25 program would need to do that. They should have their own legs to stand on. Fake ID...
The Niners were killing the draft, and then ...CJ Beathard. I woudln't have minded him 2 or 3 rounds later. WTF!?!
The Big12 has been having crap recruiting classes for 3-4 years now, and before last year's season I think it was common knowledge that it would be a down year. Until Texas pulls their head from their ass, this will be the norm. This is what gives me hope for ISU in the future.

Honest question. Why does finishing 7th-10th in the Big12 in recruiting classes give you hope, when you say that these classes have been crappy?
Not surprised that college football's 'top corner' is not among the first 20 CBs taken in the draft. ITFID.
Doesn't Iowa routinely finish 7-12 in recruiting in the Big Ten? They develop guys.
It's acceptable to have hope that this staff can develop players. They've already recruited better than in years past.
The draft 'experts' rated the Beathard pick as the biggest reach in the 4th round. The 49ers must have liked how he holds the clipboard.
I'm actually surprised by this. I know his numbers were down this year but still, why the fall? Bad camps?
I too am surprised. Did he lose a lot of money by staying for his Sr year? I doubt he just got that much worse. Interesting.
Here's a pretty good read on why SF traded up for CJB.

Lots of variables played into it. Iowa's pro-style system was part of it, and they recognized the severe lack of WRs he had last year and dealing with targets who couldn't separate. Liked his toughness, leadership, and accuracy and gave a good breakdown of what they mean by accuracy beyond completion %. He'll be number 3 QB to start and they look forward to developing him.
