College Football - Early Season Fun

[Ming]

Let's see... with their strength of schedule ranked at 37th, Nebraska has managed two losses and only 4 wins. Iowa, with their strength of schedule at 20th, haven't lost a game and is 7 - 0.

I'll let people with brains make up their own opinions on this subject.

Nebraska sucks!

[Drake Tungsten]

so again, show us what stupid stats you are looking at, and how you use them to come up with your moronic opinion.

Nebraska's average scoring margin for the season is nearly 21 points.

Iowa's is almost 10.

#1 Alabama's is exactly 23.

[Ming]

Yeah... against easier opponents. Play a tougher schedule and that might be a good argument

[Drake Tungsten]

Iowa hasn't played any team as good as Virginia Tech. Or Texas Tech, probably...

Again... stength of schedule... Gee... if you didn't pick on little sisters of the poor like Louisiana-Lafayette (55 - 0) or Florida Atlantic (49 - 3) you wouldn't be at 21. Again... a worthless stat when you don't play real teams.

Yeah... and when Nebraska played them, they lost And against TT, they lost by 21

[Drake Tungsten]

Again... a worthless stat when you don't play real teams.

Iowa beat Northern Iowa by one point (at home). You don't seem to remember that they couldn't beat up on their patsies.

Nebraska and Iowa also both played Arkansas State. Iowa beat them by 3. Nebraska beat them by 29.

[Drake Tungsten]

See Ming, this is the kind of stupid argument you make when you're only smart enough to look at records and strength of schedule. Iowa better than Nebraska?

The Hawkeyes are more deserving, though. Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.

[Guynemer]

You're gonna give poor Ming a coronary.

[Drake Tungsten]

I'd say a brain aneurysm is more likely, but I'm not sure Ming has a brain for a blood vessel to burst in...

[Guynemer]

That's hardly fair. Just because Imran and I know the real story doesn't mean he'd be able to figure it out.

[Drake Tungsten]

I'm not even talking about that. He thinks Iowa is better than Nebraska...

[Guynemer]

I'd agree with him, though "your" rankings do not.

[Drake Tungsten]

That's because "my" rankings don't get excited overly excited about Iowa's close victories over mediocre Big Ten teams and don't forget about Iowa's close victories over non-FBS and Sun Belt teams.
