I'm not trying to argue with you and I'm not saying that Iowa couldn't beat USC, but Iowa shutting out Syracuse is not anything to get too excited about. Yes, shutting out a team is a great accomplishment for any defense, but Syracuse isn't exactly laden with talent.
no it doesn't mean they will, but you can't tell right now. michigan was numer 5, 0-2...IOWA, not even ranked 2-0 and shut out syracuse...and i know Iowa has only given up 3 total points out of those games...how much points did USC give up in their 2 wins, regardless of how hard they were?
I hope IOWA is ranked this week, if not then i think there is a bised systeam. in fact...there already is.
what are you...a USC fan? they have the same record...you can't really argue that IOWA shouldn't be ranked right now.

Nah, I'm an OSU fan and yes I do agree the BCS is not a good system.
Iowa is 2 - 0 but they have played poor teams, in 2 weeks is your first true test when you play Wisconsin.
But I do agree that the BCS is stupid and the reason why a team like Boise State, who went undefeated last year then upset Oklahoma in their Bowl game, didn't get ranked until late in the season.

that's what i mean...they shouldn't have ranks until about 3 or 4 games.but yes, #5 Wisconson will be the real test of how good IOWA is.
who do you favor in that game...? I still think IU willl win
I dunno, I haven't seen either team on TV but even though I'm an OSU fan I do truly think Wisconsin or Penn State will win the Big Ten, so I think Wisconsin will win. But the best thing about College football is that it's unpredictable so who knows.

i do know that michigan isn't in it anymore. and IOWA shutting out syracuse does mean alot 35 to nothing. i don't care who you are...if you shut out any team in college it is a big deal and syracuse didn't even get a 1st down till the 2nd half...there defense is good. IOWA can beat USC!
LSU is for real. Going into the season, everyone knew the defense would be crazy good. The big question was how fluid the offense would be. Question answered. Hanging 600 yds against VT?! That's ridiculous! Right now, I think it's a 3 horse race between LSU, OU, and SC. OU has the easiest route. Assuming LSU has to play Florida twice, LSU and SC's schedule difficulty is about equal.
Honestly, I think if any one of these 3 teams lose a game, they should still get the nod for the Sugar Bowl over an undefeated Big East Team.
