Sometimes teams just don’t match up well. Give Brohm credit they had a fabulous game plan. Bell was phenomenal too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s absolutely killed them over the years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Iowa defense doesn't cause turnovers then they are in trouble. Both Iowa and MSU offense looked suspect today and Iowa hasn't really looked good all year. Iowa hasn’t looked good on offense or hasn’t looked good overall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is easy to evaluate looking in the rear view mirror. But Iowa has been the benefactor of scheduling, opposition turnovers, and a "fortunate" injury in the PSU game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just missed a 25 yard field goal after a 17 play drive. 7-0 Purdue with 11 minutes to go in the half. In all honesty, it could’ve been a much bigger win: 1. Right before that shanked field goal, Purdue dropped an easy pick-6. 2. Purdue kicker missed a chip shot 3. Purdue lost a TD on the dumb touchback/fumble rule Honestly should’ve probably been a 20+ win easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stlboiler23 Posted October 17, 2021 Report Share Posted October 17, 2021 Holy shit Purdue is ranked for the first time since 2007. We’ll probably lose to Wisky and it’ll be short-lived but wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWatShot Posted October 17, 2021 Report Share Posted October 17, 2021 Who actually does the AP rankings? There is way too much recency bias going into football rankings this year. This is the second week in a row that a team went from no votes to ranked in one week. Also, it seems like a bit of a contradiction to punish Iowa so severely by dropping them 9 spots while at the same time inserting Purdue into the top 25.

How many spots should a team drop when they get beaten so easily at home? 9 didn’t seem awful I honestly could’ve seen them dropping more than that.

If you guys get beat by Wisky then you should be banned from ever being ranked the rest of the year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgambill Posted October 17, 2021 Report Share Posted October 17, 2021 Honestly I don’t think the B1G has looked that great this year. It does look like the traditional powers have found their footing OSU, PSU, Mich, MSU, Iowa….Wisc is the only one really struggling. Iowa just played a terribly flat game. Credit Purdue it was by far their best game this year even with a few missed plays. I’m expecting a snobber knocker for the bucket later this year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go away Absent for awhile? I posted after we lost to Minnesota and said I thought we had a chance to beat Iowa. I’ve posted in the MLB thread and the NFL thread in the last week. Haven’t posted much in the college football thread since we both had byes last weekend. So no, I haven’t been “absent for a while” lol. I didn’t say anything bad about IU and only came to post about Purdue’s win yesterday because @dgambilltagged me in a post.

I'm saying it doesn't make sense to drop a team that much while at the same time rewarding the team that beat them. Eight teams got more votes than Purdue in the Coaches' Poll. That would make Purdue 34th in that poll while being 25th in the AP. You don't usually see that much of a gap between where a team comes in for both polls. This feels like what the SEC does whenever one of its higher-ranked teams loses to an unranked team. Texas A&M and UK both got ranked after beating Alabama and Florida. They want to try and excuse the loss while getting more teams ranked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what Michigan is yet. Don’t believe the hype. Both them and Michigan St have yet to beat anyone of note. Miami and Washington have both looked terrible. Thing is they play and I still won’t know anything because the winner may still not have played anyone. At least Penn St beat Auburn…albeit barely…and at home in a night game in prime time. So I’d have to put Iowa second until I see more. Their offense is pretty pedestrian but defense is darn good. Definitely had a let down after emotional game. That said they should still play OSU for the B1G championship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
