99.9% of people on this board would have accepted the 2020 season as completely legit if we had won Floyd. Beat Iowa!!!!!!
That is a load of BS. The 2020 season was a complete mess. All you have to do is look at the final standings to realize just how screwed up it really was. Ignore the records for a second and just consider the fact that this is how the game totals broke down for each team:
Northwestern - 9 games total, 7 conference games
Iowa - 8 games total, all conference games
Wisconsin - 7 games total, 6 conference games
Minnesota - 7 games total, all conference games
Nebraska - 8 games total, all conference games
Purdue - 6 games total, all conference games
Illinois - 8 games total, all conference games
Ohio State - 8 games total, 5 conference games
Indiana - 8 games total, 7 conference games
Penn State - 9 games total, all conference games
Maryland - 5 games total, all conference games
Rutgers - 9 games total, all conference games
Michigan - 6 games total, all conference games
Michigan State - 7 games total, all conference games
That is a clusterf$ck of epic proportions. The games that were played all count but putting any kind of stock or value in the results from that mess of a season is foolish.
And you can choose not to believe me but I would be saying the exact same thing if the Gophers had gone 7-0 as opposed to 3-4 during that disaster.
