Every passing week the 35-3 thrashing of Iowa State(big 12) and 10 point win vs. Arizona(pac 10) are looking better and better on the Hawkeye resume.
By the way, in the Jeff Sagarin ratings(part of the BCS) just released, iOWA has earned the #1 ranking in the Elo Chess(part submittted to BCS)!!!
Let me be clear on my thoughts about Iowa's ranking.
I have no problem at all with ANY of the current undefeated teams being ranked ahead of Iowa
AT THIS TIME, even though I could probably make a case for them being ranked ahead of all of them almost as easily.
I still have to respect BOISE STATE for the simple fact they defeated a very, very good OREGON team.
TCU just went into BYU and throttled them and may be the most underrated undefeated team remaining.........in fact, they are!
TEXAS, ALABAMA, and FLORIDA need no reasoning for obvious reasons, however at least two of these three are probably overrated.
CINCY win over USF not looking as good after the Bulls got runover by Pitt yesterday, but they have played great football all year long.
Two weeks from now we will know much more about the undefeated teams remaining and then we all will be able to make more accurate measurements of them all.
