I know but it’s still nice to be 3-0 against THE Ohio State University 😎
No FSU or Clemson for now. Boo.

Where did Iowa play them? In my lifetime Iowa has played Florida 4 times…all 4 in Florida.
That’s because the gators are a bunch of pussy ass bitches and very rarely travel outside of Florida, hell Hogtown for that matter, to play an out of conference opponent.
If the Big Ten took Nebraska and Oregon, they’ll take Clemson.

You mean more "theoretical eyeballs." And history shows that just because there are theoretical eyeballs it won't equate to actual viewers. If that was the case Boston College, Rutgers, Miami, GT would all dominate viewership and be the most coveted schools. But they don't. College football doesn't offer a conversion rate and I'd submit that the schools know that and don't try to market themselves that way. With your logic, FIU would be a great choice (and yes, there are differences between Miami, hell, UCF would be more attractive).
Top 15 outperform USC and all are drastically smaller markets. College football viewership is much more driven by student body size, and winning.
They even mention why your thought process is wrong in this article
But what about the TVs! (aka theoretical eyeballs) Doesn't that change reality? Miami hasn't captured the market in the last 40 years, but they might sometime in the future.
Iowa blows Florida State out of the water in academics and Bowden bought those rings.
You’re going to have to take a picture of your hand before I buy you a drink at Pints.
The rankings beg to differ. And as for the bought comment, even if true, haha. Call me when you win something.
He’s about to challenge you to a fight.
I love this guys! Looks like we have the first rivalry for FSU in the B1G!!!!
I love this expansion for the B1G. Let’s get this conference to 24 teams and get the CFP to 16 teams. Let’s have 6 teams from both the B1G and SEC then 4 at large from the lower tier conferences.

Didn’t read all the posts, but is Clemson even AAU? I know Florida State was rejected. If Florida State joined their “rival”would have to be Nebraska, right? Call it something like the Dumbass Bowl? Idiot Bowl? Education Optional Bowl? Mississippi Bowl? Florida Man vs Larry the Cable Guy Bowl?
You do know that FSU's academics (top 20 public university) are better than most of the schools in the BIG, including Iowa's.....and if USF was selected over FSU, what does that say about the quality of said status?
I nominate you to be the Chairman of the Dumbass Bowl Selection Committee.
I bet you’ll look awesome in your Committee blazer done up in shades of corn yellow and brown pork poop.
Keep your day job, twit.
I'll explain this to you Noles. You see to us Iowans, you cannot be good at football AND academics. Since you're good (or trending that way) We just assume you're idiots. It's one of our loveable quirks
The trophy will be a bronze of small hand lipping a big blue cat. There will be some pudding on those fingers.
Corn N Porn
Meth Bowl (Iowa is second to Arkansas in Meth use and Florida makes a lot of it although not per capita)
Loose Meat Sandwiches versus Loose Meat Panties (and I don’t know which tastes worse, those MaidRites Are revolting)
I like the Hookers and Blow Bowl
