Can we stop pretending Iowa is good now?

I will say this, O'Connell was 30/40 for 375 yards and Purdue only scored 24 points. How often does a QB throw that and score under 30 points?

34/52 for 371 yards and only 13 points just 2 weeks ago by O'Connell
 
I think they're good. Not a top 10 team though. They block and tackle well. Just deficient at skill positions. Which is usually the case with them.

Its the price you pay when youre not a blueblood. When youre an Iowa type team and you lose its " see they were overrated" when youre a Bama type team and you lose its " it was a fluke/the other team played great/ it wont happen again " etc

Those type teams have earned that treatment by winning titles after losing

Teams like Iowa havent

Its totally fine

Where i get upset is in how we treat the teams who pull the upsets

Nothing A&M has done this year gives them a better overall resume than Purdue

Purdue won vs a top 2 team on the road in dominating fashion while A&M won at home by 3. And Purdues losses are better too

Yet A&M is ranked 17 while Purdue is barely getting votes

That type of stuff is done tp prop up Bama. Which they dont need

I think they are a good, solid B1G West team. I think they have a quality defense, but their offense lacks skill position talent and their QB is average at best. I wouldn't be surprised to see them lose a few more. I think any game their defense doesn't force multiple turnovers, they will struggle to win, as they aren't beating teams with their offense.

Its days are numbered.

What is numbered is your days of padding your record and stats by playing one team with a pulse each year.

"losses are better". :L

That and the fact that A&M would more likely than not beat Purdue if we played. A&M is a better team. We aren't ranked #17 but who the hell cares? It all shakes out at the end.

Ain't gonna matter. Bama's gonna lose again. You guys are going to roll the rest of the season. Only tough game left on the schedule is Prarie View.

Then Jimbo's boys beat Georgia in the CCG which puts the CFP committee in a bind because there are five other undefeated or one loss conference champions.

CFP selection will be fun to watch.

No, if Clifford doesn't go down they lose to Penn State and almost did anyway. If we are talking about a 2 loss Iowa who has a terrible schedule (especially since Iowa State is not who we thought they were) they are not who we thought they were. They just don't have the offense to make a run.

I don’t know about beating Purdue. You lost to Mississippi State and Arkansas and they are both trash.
 
Send me to hell. I don't care. Best part about Iowa losing is hopefully I hear less about them. Which means hopefully I hear less about them waving to cancer kids. Its a good thing they do, but I'm so tired of hearing about it every single week.

that would be funny. Don't see it. We will trip up to either Auburn or LSU...or both. I do love chaos though, so hope you are right.

Well the way things like this usually work out is we will get to see because A&M and Purdue will play in a bowl against each other.

Guarantee if that happens you won't lay cash on Purdue.
