How did Iowa win 10 games?

[BigNasty]

There were just terrible

 

[General Jack]

Big 10 west is a complete joke

 

[volmanjr]

Entire conference is a joke

 

[Zues1]

Big 10.

 

['Boro-vol]

They played against a bunch of other big, slow B10 teams. The only teams they played that had a pulse, beat them.

 

[DaddyChad]

I have on good authority that they have the winningest coach in big ten history though.

 

[Hunerwadel]

This may be the worst team Tennessee has ever played in a bowl game.

Big 10 West

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Simple.

They don’t have the athletes of Bama/Georgia who can make plays at any given moment.

The Big 10 is a bad conference.

That happens when you stay for the better part of three decades.

 

[DowsaTV]

They have to practice for snow games.

Northwestern was worse but not by a lot

 

[OrangeVolMan]

Iowa played 3 ranked teams and lost 92-0

The only speed in the Big 10 is Ohio State and maybe Michigan. That'll change next year when the Pac 6 joins the conference. I believe those teams from the west coast will take over the Big 10. With Texas and Oklahoma joining the SEC next year, the SEC will only get stronger across the board.

I swear they were trying not to score on purpose..

 

[Cartervol]

That conference..

Will the SEC officials still favor Bama next year?

 

[TennEddie]

After this year, the original Big 10 members might not win a conference
championship for many years. Speed is on he way.

 

[OH-Vol]

Unreal, Vandy would destroy Iowa

Iowa in the 2015 taxslayer bowl was also horrible.

Saban will retire and Texas becomes the new Darling of the SEC. The new sec office will be in Austin..

 

[LouderVol]

big 10 west is straight garbage.

only 1 of their offenses cracked the top 100 offenses, and it was 86th, we played 8 or 9 offenses better than that this year. its easy to have good defensive numbers when the offenses you play are trash.

they also played a lot of one score games, so its not like they won 10 games convincingly.

it was literally a case of their had to be a "winner" in the Big 10 west because they play each other. and Iowa just so happened to be the one to come out on top.

 

[NeverWe'llSever]

Big 10 has 4 respectable programs and none of them are in the Big Ten West. Has to be the dumbest division set up ever. You clearly needed to put the Michigan schools in one division and OSU/PSU in the other.

I dunno man. Kind of looking forward to USC or Oregon having to go to Ann Arbor or Iowa City in December.

Playoffs next year should be interesting with the first rounds on campus. If a few of the northern B10 games get home field games-could be trouble. Hell of lot easier to throw the ball around when it's 70 and sunny than 15 degrees and snowing.

That sounds like hyperbole but it's really not. Last night, I was seriously thinking that Iowa is at best 1-6 if they play the entire SEC East, and Vandy was the only possible win I could give them, but I think I take Vandy straight up against them if I was forced to bet something significant on one or the other.
