Iowa

Why is Iowa such a lock? Net is 40 worse than ours. 2 q3 losses and a q4 loss. Worse than us. 5-7 in quad 1. Worse than us. One good road win (vs Rutgers)

What am I missing?

Rutgers has more bad losses and they easily defeated Rutgers twice.

We defeated psu but they are essentially considered a lock and we’re not

If H2H matters, but does it? In another thread, RU's 2 wins over PSU were said to be a non-factor in comparing similar resumes.

The inconsistency of all these arguments and analysis makes it all so frustrating.
Just like reffing..we know bad calls happen but consistency is what you want.

I don’t think Rutgers should be over Iowa but I don’t get why they are considered a 100% lock when their resume is not all that different from Rutgers and Rutgers has the advantage in certain aspects (NeT, road wins)

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

They have a half a game better record and a much tougher schedule.

However I agree they should be in our vicinity.

Defeating Rutgers is irrelevant with respect to the op’s question.

Again, that doesn’t matter
