A football poll you can believe Iowa #1


Gophers at #17 in this poll, but Wisconsin (as well as Iowa) still ahead of us. One reason to believe this poll: Nebraska settles in at #62. One reason to disbelieve it: Texas A&M is in at #3! ... after almost losing to Colorado the week before the Gophers annihilated Colorado. Another weird thing: Colorado, after the Gopher beatdown, is at #68 while Fresno State, which a top 25 team in some polls, comes in at #69.
 

Bowling Green 127.
 

Another reason some Gopher fans want to be like Iowa.

Just win, baby. And fill the trophy case.
 

USC #5 with a “Power” score 2 points higher than ANY other team?

Does this ranking award extra points for firing the head coach while it’s still summer?

lol how so many computers still see USC as top 25. #2 in Power in this table! #5 last week in a different computer poll, so the machines must have been impressed by the 3 TD loss at home to Oregon State.

don't stop believing

I don't want to be like Iowa. I want the gophers to be better than that.

What has Iowa ever really done? Hell, I've never seen them win a rose bowl in my lifetime. They win the Big 10 west every so often and then get obliterated in their bowl game. We are a Tyler Johnson dropped pass in Iowa City from basically being what Iowa is.

They stomp on us, but what do they really do after that? They've won one or two big 10 wests, but so has Northwestern. Is our goal to be Northwestern?

I've never gotten the Iowa love. Solid program but kind of Meh!

I agree, but we have to CATCH Iowa and Wisconsin before we can be better than them.

We're not there and the BG game doesn't make it look like we're even headed in that direction.
