    Iowa would beat us like a rented mule

    I doubt it. They couldn’t handle our speed. That’s what happens when those kind of good, plodding Big 10 teams play against teams from different conferences.

    We would either win rather easily, win close, or lose a close game. No fucking chance Iowa could beat us soundly.

    They beat Mississippi State last year. That’s barely a SEC team.

    I don't think FPI is too off the mark. This team - in spite of all its warts - is still probably about 20 to 25th best in the country.
    Maybe if you only look at player talent.

    But with our coaching staff we are more like 40 to 45th best in the country.
    I think we are probably a 20-30 team. We aren’t good, but we aren’t that bad.

    We are just good enough to lose in heartbreaking ways to everyone outside the top 5. Losers lose, but we are pretty good losers.

    I know the reaction to this is UW too high, but maybe this should be thought of as more of an indictment on the coaches than anything. Says a lot about the game management that our record is where it is.
    I said this in another thread but in 2016 we were 2 c-hairs away from no CFP appearance. This year we are 10 pts from 8-1 and looking better than we really are. Football is a weird game and sometimes the ball bounces your way and sometimes it doesn't. Might as well rip the band off and expose stubborn ass Pete to the concept that he's not the smartest guy in the room.
    Fuck off, not having competent ILB and WR is coaching issue and not fucking luck. Keep making fucking excuses to make your self feel better about coach that is fucking things up for the program

    Watch your mouth, Weak Arms. No one is arguing that we don’t have a lot of problem areas. It’s not time to fire the head coach,yet. We’ll revisit after the 2020 season.

    I don’t like your narrative that the “ball bounces your way” that was not the case. This was pure missmanagement

    No we arent. We cant even close out against shit teams in our conference. 35 sounds about right
    We suck, until we don't PGOS. That's not the point. But I count 7 or 8 teams in the AP Top 25 that we would beat 81% of the time on an neutral field.
    on paper we might make that happen - but what happens when our? coaches screw up the game plan? Well we lose, but not by much, so our? paper rankings still look good...

    In other worlds and words, we win the best 6-4 team contest.
