Iowa needed to win by the margin they did.
Does that have impact on the NET?
I haven't looked at the details on that. My impression was that these worst of the worst teams would only move the needle significantly if they lost to them.
Frankly, if I had a say in the metrics it would have a negative impact just to play them. At the very least there should be zero positive movement for beating them at home.

My understanding is yes, and the first three games hurt a bit because the NET thinks you should win those by 30ish or more at home.

That's good to hear if true. There should definitely be a built in penalty for scheduling these terrible teams. And it should be more than simply additive. An extra penalty the more of them you schedule is warranted.

Brad Brownell accused the Big 12 of manipulating the NET last season.
