Iowa has played only one sub-.500 team -- Arkansas State -- and the Hawkeyes' opponents have a .633 winning percentage (38-22) that is by far the best of any team in ranked in the AP top 10

But that doesn't seem to matter for some reason.

And it's always funny how the SEC pole smokers talk about how tough their league is right up until one of their schools gets beat in a bowl game. Then it's just "they only beat a 6th place team."

I understand some of your point but are you really trying to say that Big Ten is as good as the SEC? Because you're smoking some awesome shit if you are.

My point is that people like to pile on the Big 10 because it supposedly sucks yet Florida gets to play sacks of shit like Arkansas, Mississippi State and Vanderbilt. Not to mention its dogshit non-conference schedule - Charleston Southern, Troy, Florida International and the shittiest team FSU has fielded in 30 years.

Meanwhile, Iowa's played a ranked FCS team and two BCS conference teams and gets to run a road conference schedule of Penn State, Wisconsin, Michigan State and Ohio State. And they don't get to play Illinois.

If Iowa runs the table they would most certainly deserve to be in the national championship game ahead of a one-loss SEC team.

Vanderbilt went 7-6 last year and finished ahead of the South Carolina team the Hawkeyes beat. Arkansas is 3-4 with 3 losses to ranked teams. They are hardly anymore of a sack of dogshit than any of the mid-tier Big Ten teams Iowa gets to play. And Northern Iowa isn't ranked.

So if the mid-level SEC teams are, in your words "hardly anymore of a sack of dogshit than any of the mid-tier Big Ten teams", then I guess the SEC isn't that much better than the Big 10.

Actually I'm saying that a Florida victory over a 3-4 Arkansas team with three losses to ranked teams is hardly less legitimate than an Iowa victory over a 4-4 Michigan State team that's lost to three unranked teams and had half its wins come against Montana State and Northwestern, no matter how "gritty" said win was. I'm also saying that the fact that the Big Ten hasn't had a winning bowl record since 2002 while the SEC hasn't had a Losing one since that same year probably makes the SEC better. Or the fact that it has a 60% winning % in bowl games since 1995 vs. 45% is probably a decent sample size proving the Big Ten inferior to the SEC. Or the fact that four of the last six national champions have been SEC teams (with two of those championships being blowouts of the outright Big Ten champion) kinda adds credence to that fact. But go ahead and twist my words because you know Iowa is better since their opponents have a better winning % since Wisconsin can beat Wofford.

SEC! SEC! SEC!  

Guh. I'm not even an SEC partisan. I like Florida because back when I was 8 Illinois really blew (believe it or not), and Florida kicked a lot of ass with Danny Wuerrffel and had the same team colors as Illinois, so I figured it was okay. Plus Florida Spurrier was a diabolical genius, whereas SC Spurrier just looks like he'd rather be golfing. So since then I've been a bandwagon fan of the Gators. But other than that the rest of that conference has obnoxious, redneck fans (ELL ESS YOUUU) and I'd sooner see any Big Ten, Big 12, or PAC 10 team win the title if logic dictated that those teams deserved a shot at it over the SEC champion. But every major statistic (beside BCS computer rankings which overrate strength of schedule based on w-l records, as mentioned) is in their favor, and I side with the numbers.

Fuck Steve Spurrier.

EDIT: I don't really remember why I hate him. My dad told me to for some reason.

I believe you once mentioned that he "stole" Bob Griese's Heisman trophy. I hate South Carolina Spurrier, if only for being the withered husk of Florida Spurrier, who used to pull the most batshit crazy plays out of his ass and make them work every time.

Florida Steve Spurrier was pretty good.  After the train wreck the ball coach left with the Redskins, I think he deserves to coach a middle of the pack SEC team for eternity.

And lay off the Badgers on the Wofford scheduling.  That was a last minute replacement when VTech backed out of a home and home which was supposed to start this year and I think will take place in 2016. That's how much control you have over scheduling tougher non-conference opponents.

Ok, well I can understand that.  At least you have a team with a decent QB this season and a legit shot of making the playoffs.  Jim Zorn looked like his play sheet was dipped in blotter acid last night.
