David Pollack said he "wasn't going to consider Iowa" a contender with the other 9.
I cannot care less about this.

Beat me to it! Was fun to see Lee standing up for the Hawks. As I mentioned in another thread, I have no problem with talking heads hesitating to label Iowa a CFP-level team, but they should at least base their comments on some sound reasoning. Pretty sure Iowa can at least hang with Stanford, for example. Our performances against common opponent NW would indicate that, at the very least.
Oh and BTW, what a great time to segway the shows next segment to the video of teaching kids about Iowa winning a NC.
At least Corso got someone to FINALLY acknowledge that Alabama actually struggled with a middle of the road Tennessee team at home last week. Especially important after almost universal praise from the crew for how well they've been playing the past few weeks.
No doubt! Thought the same thing. Iowa would matchup very very well against Ala. Hell even Tenn did.
Not to mention that Alabama's wins over Georgia and Texas A&M were perceived to be stronger at the time than they actually are. Alabama didn't play well against a crap Arkansas team either.
Guys, it really doesn't matter. If Iowa wins out, it will get either undefeated OSU or undefeated MSU in the B1G championship. The arguing by the talking heads that watch maybe 3 games a week, at most, is irrelevant. If they were actually competent football minds, they would be coaching. They're not - they wake up in the morning, put on blush and eyeliner, and say a bunch of stupid shit on tv.
They just said temple has a quality win over Penn State.. Yet Wisconsin isn't who they used to be (two losses to Alabam and Iowa) and "Pitt just lost again" (losses to Iowa and 7-1 UNC)
I hope Pitt CRAPS on ND..that'd shake this all up..

Can they diss a team anymore than they just did Iowa? This is one time I seriously hope the players were watching TV and people talking about them. I bet we here about the excuse for Stanford losing to Northwestern, it was a 9 am game for them, it was the first game of the year.
Agreed. Win out, go to playoffs. Non-negotiable.
Win out schedule and lose in BTC. No playoffs, good bowl (probably Rose?).
Lose anywhere on remaining schedule to the clowncar lineup left = fine season, but nothing worth a sniff at a playoff anyway.
Why put yourself thru this crap I quit watching those clowns a long time ago.
Exactly. Who cares what they say on Gameday? I guarantee that not a single one of them has watched either Iowa or Maryland play this year. Their opinion on who Iowa can or cannot hang with is completely worthless
Middle Tennessee. Louisiana Monroe. Charleston Southern. #RollTide
The reality for me is this, Iowa is a good team, They could be a very good team, They are not a great team, Guess what, I really don't see any great teams on the college football landscape. Do I feel Iowa is being disrespected, Somewhat, I also think it can help them keep a nice chip on their shoulder as they go through the rest of the season, So I hope the national folks have their fun and continue to question how good Iowa really is, And I hope the staff continues to use it as further motivation as they play games that they "should" win.
Bill Belichick is a master at taking any slight whether perceived in his mind or real and using it to motivate his team, I hope Kirk uses that methodology as well.

Ehhh, I don't think so. Now if he had typed seg way I'd have been all over it.
Been said several times already, but none of this matters. If the Hawks keep winning, everything will take care of itself. They will have to earn it by beating a "big dog" from the east, anyway. If they don't win out, it's all moot. Only thing that matters is to keep putting up W's.
Pretty fun that we get to have the "Iowa gets no respect" conversations again, though

I lean toward "misspelling." Kind of like how I lean to the right when I want to turn right on my segue.
Why has no one mentioned in that Alabama video that the kids were wearing Auburn shirts? I know it was a parody...but come on man...you had one job!
I don't think that's necessarily true. We did not have CJ at 100% for NU and that did not matter. I think installing BF as "run game coordinator" is paying off in a big way. We've been able to run the ball in the second half of all our conference games thus far. It didn't mean points against Wiscy or Illinois, but we were able to control the ball better in both of those games. God forbid, but if CJ simply can't go, Wiegers doesn't have to make the same kind of throws down the field for us to win. We'll look like we looked last year, which means we could play some .500 ball.
I think that clip came shortly after the discussion where they talked about how the top 9 ranked teams are pretty much equivalent but they exclude Iowa.
Very similar to '09 when all the pundits were talking about how lucky we were to be undefeated given how close all our games were. No respect then either=Orange Bowl champs. Think we can finish even better this year
Man I hope ferentz sits the team down and shows them the conversation before stepping out on the field today. If he does, I feel sorry for Maryland.
Someone would have to sit Ferentz down and show him first. He’s not tuning in to see Corso’s headgear.
When we've sucked in the recent past, we've really sucked...admit it. So we need to earn that reputation back and it'll take time. We're definitely on track to get there.
til half .... that ESPN dad/kid piece was hilarious and TRUE
