I feel the same way, but Iowa just continues to turn people over. I hate Iowa and really want to rag on them, but they are just a very solid football team and with the West being real down this year, they are going to breeze into the Conference Championship Game. Every week prognosticators talk about their offense and what will they do when the turnovers don't come. In fact, there was a ton of talk of baby Tua really putting it to Iowa and look how that turned out. Iowa is not a playoff contender, but may get there just because they don't make mistakes.

I just had a friend (Iowa fan, IC native) just non-ironically refer to this weekend's Iowa-PSU matchup as the "Game of the Century."
I **** you not.
I **** you not.
iowa likely wont play a defense as good as ours, nor a team that runs the ball as well as we are until we meet.
they were a bounce away from losing to Colorado State, and had the fortune of Tua's little brother throwing the ball directly to them 5 separate times to create short fields.
they're not even top 3 toughest of our opponents, let alone top 3 in the country. they remind me of a pelini-led nebraska team. winning against teams you should beat, narrowly beating a few that you should've blown out, but getting ready to be absolutely exposed by a quality team and we are about to be their wisconsin
for iowa, it probably is
for the rest of the country, it's just your standard, run of the mill b1g mid-afternoon snoozefest
IF Nebraska can upset Michigan this weekend, I think they have a great shot to run the gauntlet...I'm saying this with the assumption that last Saturday was a "get-right" game, the adjustments to the OL continue to pay off, the defense continues to build momentum and a Michigan win would give these guys a confidence they haven't had yet during their time in Lincoln...such a huge game on Saturday night #GBR
for the rest of the country, it's just your standard, run of the mill #3 vs #4 game. Happens all the time.
Hmmm... your opinion while valuable, isn't shared by AP or Coaches poll contributors or any ratings service I've seen. I doubt Iowa belongs in the top 5, but that's why they play the games. Iowa fans care about winning but in the B1G, many wins have a worthless trophy attached. The pig is kinda cool though!
only iowa fan thinks the AP poll matters in week 6
you guys are so cute! posting on the Nebraska board since 2009.. lmao so iowa fan it hurts
Who said the AP poll mattered in week 6? I said " for the rest of the country, it's just your standard, run of the mill #3 vs #4 game. Happens all the time. "
