Kirk Ferentz got it made in Iowa

No expectations

 

[Drake's Tan]

the coach don't even know how they won 10 games

Imagine firing your son as OC and winning the division and 10 games in the same season

Whoever bet the under in the game is in trouble 10-7 already

I was nervous but the Lord came thru for the kid

I agree about UCLA, but I'd say the wins vs Florida and USC could be 2a/2b.

Florida is 6-6 if they lose to FSU, and they lost games to fukking Kentucky and Arkansas. And other than UT, their wins were worthless squads

USC is 7-5, all five of their losses were against good teams that should be ranked right now, and they beat #15 Arizona.


USC is objectively a more impressive team to beat this year. And yeah, Utah's margin of victory was better against UF, but their victory over USC was on the road.


Either way, Utah clearly has 3 quality wins this season and no bad losses (all four losses were to top-15 teams).
While Tennessee has maybe one quality win (home game over a weak Texas A&M squad that hasn't beat anyone good all year) and a bad loss to Florida.


Utah is so clearly above UT it's not even funny. Whereas Tennessee is somehow ranked #21 and Utah didn't even make it.

USC also had squeaker wins against Cal and Arizona didn't hit their stride until after that game. Arizona lost to Mississippi State this year. Truthfully besides Arizona, who didn't seem to turn it on until later in the season, USC didn't really beat anyone with a pulse yet either this year. They also didn't blow away a terrible Colorado squad either.

I do think the USC win was better because of the road factor, and yeah they are better than Florida too, but I don't think they are leaps and bounds better this year.

Utah is so clearly above UT it's not even funny. Whereas Tennessee is somehow ranked #21 and Utah didn't even make it.

I agree with that. Tennessee being ranked is a joke imo.

Texas Tech vs Texas and Oregon vs Oregon St

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Nebraska loss five one score games this season

Texas Tech vs Texas and Oregon vs Oregon St

Don't see it, but maybe Oregon State could pull it off.

Oregon has looked really good but might be a bully team that beats up on overmatched opponents but lose to relatively equal matched teams. Lanning 0-3 against rivals so far too. But I think they should win at Autzen.

We'll find out tonight.

Breh, Florida isn't Utah's best win, Florida is Utah's THIRD best win. Beating UCLA and winning on the road at USC are both better wins than Florida.

You just accidentally admitted that Utah has THREE wins better than Tennessee's best win.








How the fukk do you use circular reasoning every fukking time? You can't just spuriously claim that the SEC is a better conference in order to support your argument that the SEC is a better conference.


And you can't use a statistical argument when one team plays a murderous schedule and the other team plays a cupcake schedule. Didn't you already learn that with Kentucky? Utah only played one OOC cupcake this year, UT played three. That alone distorts the stats past any comparison. Plus Utah played 5 road games while UT only played 4, and Utah played 6 squads with at least 7 wins while UT only played 4 of them.

So of course Utah will have less impressive stats, they didn't run up the scoreboard against a bunch of shyt teams like Austin Peay, UTSA, Virginia and UConn. In fact, take out those four easy-ass OOC games and Tennessee got outscored 197-147 this year. Their stats outside of those games would be ASS.

This has been an incredible exposal.

Aye bro let me ask you a real question since you ain’t answer my question: With the CFP committee, who watches more games than you, knows more then you and conceivably understands the scheduling dynamics, why are they ranking teams the way they do? Can you explain it and the “SEC bias” to me?

Can someone explain why Iowa put a kicker out there that hadn't made a kick all year?

Cause it’s Iowa and Nebraska has terrible luck so why not?

13-10 Minnesota wins by walk off field goal

13-10 Maryland wins by walk off field goal. (Quite possibly one of the worst games I’ve ever seen with my own two eyes)

13-10 Iowa wins by walk off field goal.

My only hypothesis is because it's Iowa
