Iowa played 7 bowl teams and beat 5. How many did ISU beat and play?
Since I don't know which rankings you like to use, I am referencing TR. So the 7 bowl teams #20 Iowa faced are ranked:
8. Wisconsin - Loss
11. Iowa State - Win
12. Penn State - Win (against backup QB)
22. Purdue - Loss
26. Minnesota - Win
71. Maryland - Win
97. Kent State - Win

Iowa State played 7 FBS bowl teams and 1 ranked FCS team. They went 3-5 in those games with 4 losses being single score losses. Iowa won the close games, Iowa State lost the close games. Reverse the luck and the records are reversed too.

So, you think #97 Kent State is that much better than Northern Iowa? What if it had been N. Dakota State? Is Kent State better than them? You are claiming Kent State as one of your bowl team wins.

It’s literally the weakest schedule of any power five conference team ever.
What are you talking about? That’s a load of crap. It’s the 33rd ranked schedule in the nation. Who played a weaker schedule? Georgia, Oklahoma, Baylor, Oregon…….plenty more.

Reverse the luck or in other words coach up your special teams?

Not exactly sure.

Oklahoma has played multiple teams ranked in the top ten now. Who has Iowa played that is even ranked?

The Kent State Golden Flashes are the MAC East champs. They’ll face a team they’ve already beaten in the MAC title game. Three of their losses are to Iowa, Texas A&M and Maryland. So, yes, most likely better than a 6-6 UNI team and even NDSU this year.
