Iowa Wr are better/or at least more depth....thats great, but they dont use them, so it doesnt matter....

we beat oregon state by 10 in their place so our weak ass schedule must really be weak
who on your schedule would we lose to? Penn State? Maybe it would be a good game....other than that you havent played shit....northern iowa is a fcs team that took you down to the wire what other research do you want me to do?  are they a good FCS team? Sure, does that excuse you almost losing? No, anyways enjoy your ranking till you come to ohio state but im sure that game will be played in a monsoon  or something to negate the difference in speed............you have 3 players that will play in the NFL next year on D we have at least 3 on offense that will be draft bound next april so quit acting like you're better youre not

And there is no way you can argue with a straight face that Cincy would have gone through Iowa's road schedule unbeaten.

Iowa's resume > Cincinnati's resume

They have proven to be a good team.  I'm not dumb enough to say that Iowa would blow them out based on this; in fact, I could easily see Cincinnati beating them.  However, those numbers do say something.

I agree based purely on SOS numbers Iowa is more impressive....But our margin of victory and WOW factor when watching us is much higher IMO

On a neutral field, I'd take Iowa by 3 probably.  At Cincinnati, it's Cincy by a TD.  At Iowa, it's Iowa by a TD.  It'd be a hell of a game either way, and I'd certainly like to see it.  Two of the best coaching staffs in the country at making adjustments.

Again, you keep babbling about Iowa's schedule. Go back to my post on our opponents .633 winning percentage - by far tougher than anyone's in the top 10.


Gilyard and Pike will be in the top 60 picks next year....

Top 60, wrong answer. Top 10 respective to their positions, maybe or probably. But still not on the level which Iowa has produced in the past or what is on the current team.



our Left Tackle Linckenbach will be drafted in the first 5 rounds....

His stock is no where near Bulaga's 1st round status.


.so theres three on offense....We went to Oregon State and won stop acting like we can't play on the road

I never said that. I said there's no way Cincy would survive Iowa's road schedule.

Oregon St is basically a .500 team. Iowa has already beaten 6 bowl teams. And Cincy?

Penn State is impressive and Arizona is too, although you played them when they weren't clicking on all cylinders like they are now. It amazes me you think that you played this killer schedule when you break it down you've got a great road win in happy valley and a good win at home against Arizona....other than that youve struggled to take care of business against 3 teams you should have blown out. Lastly if you do an eye ball test watching the two teams play its easy to see who is the more talented team.....its cincy......
Wahoo's thread this week......"watching Iowa play MSU was like having triple by-pass surgery. "  He is a respectable capper with ACC (neutral) ties..... He has Cincy 4th in the country which is where they should be
