And how many times did fleck beat Iowa his first 5 years - pretty circular reasoning, no? Unless you’re saying beating Wisconsin is the main bar. However, the Wisconsin bar has been lowered the last couple years. How many times would a Kill team have beaten the 2017-2022 Badgers, probably a couple times.
That works both ways, how many times would a Fleck team have beaten a Wisconsin team during the Kill era? Probably a couple of times. Chryst was 43-18 in the B1G during his time at Wisconsin, it's not like he was bad, or even average. Overall Fleck is 4 -10 against WI/IA, Kill/Claeys were 2 - 10. Iowa has also had a better record while Fleck has been here compared to when Kill/Claeys were here.
Here's the W/L and WI ranking when they played:
Kill
2011 - 16 - L
2012 - UR - L
2013 - 16 - L
2014 - 14 - L
Claeys
2015 - UR - L
2016 - 5 - L
Fleck
2017 - 5 - L
2018 - UR - W
2019 - 12 - L
2020 - UR - L
2021 - 14 - W
2022 - UR - W
So Fleck beat a 14th ranked WI team, and that was the highest they were ever ranked when Kill played them. Kill/Claeys had 2 chances against an unranked WI team, and they were 0-2. Fleck has had 3 chances so far and Fleck is 2-1, and honestly should be 3-0 because they choked that COVID season game away.
Fleck has been a step up against our main 2 rivals over the Kill era.
