What is the biggest LOL team of the season?

[iowajerms]

6-4 Georgia - (preseason #5)
4-6 Florida - (preseason #10)
4-7 TCU - (preseason #20)

Any I missed? Who do you think?

Michigan

Michigan

They did cross my mind with their close wins, but they still won and are still ranked and I am not super confident that Iowa will beat them this weekend.

If they finish out 7-5, then I think they will be LOL team. I'm not going to add them to my list quite yet, but I do see why they are viewed as an LOL team.

Boise State ranked 19 in the preseason was a joke.

All would have a good shot to beat Iowa. So Iowa?

Only team on that list that would have any chance of beating iowa is uga. The answer to the question though is florida. What a fucking anemic offense.

I would say Iowa has been an LOL team quite a bit under KF. It seems like every time Iowa begins the season Top 10, they barely reach .500. I will admit when Iowa is an LOL team, but Iowa is actually doing better than expected.

IMO, Iowa is just an average to just above average team. Good defense and alright offense. Decent kicker and okay special teams (unless defending fake punt).

Can we have a poll on this?

I will go with

Cal 1-10

Northwestern 0-6 Big Ten (people were actually arguing with me here early in the season that they were great and I was telling them they are like Air Force or Navy)

UConn 0-9
Southern Miss 0-10
Hawaii 0-10
Georgia St 0-10
Miami Ohio 0-11

I thought about doing a poll but whenever I left it open ended, someone usually brings up a team I wouldn't put on the polland everyone tends to agree with that team

I could see all those teams taking Iowa. What anemic recruiting?

Lol. You try recruiting to iowa city sadly iowa teams tend to perform better with shitty revruits than they do with high rated guys. Only iowa top 10 class the last 10 years was responsible for the worst 4 year win total of any class since 2000.

I'm not saying worst team. Which of those winless teams were expected to do anything this season?

I can see why you have Northwestern, but I also think if they didn't have the injuries they did, they wouldn't be 0-6 in conference. I could actually see them winning the last 4 games if they did not have the injuries. Iowa and Michigan went into OT against them and Nebraska needed a Hail Mary on the last play to beat them.

I really thought Cal would be decent this season.

And like I said, people here were telling me Northwestern was great and was a legit top dog team. They were ranked right?

You can recruit Iowa. Great traditions and cool name/uniforms. There are schollie limitations so they don't all go to Bama

Yes, they were ranked 22 by AP and Coaches and yes, on here they were hype pretty high (even by me). But I also think if their QB and RB both stayed healthy, they probably would have won the last 4 games and would only have 2 losses to 2 ranked B1G teams.

But I do see where you do have them on their list. They HAVE to rely on those 2 players. It is why I think the Seahawks are above the Broncos as best NFL team right now. If Manning is out, Denver is screwed.

 

[iowajerms]

I personally would not have UGA on my list, but I knew if I left them off, that is what this thread would turn into. I think they would do better if they didn't have so many injuries.

IMO, I am saying TCU. Started out as Top 20 and barely beat ISU, lost to WVU and KSU.

TCU just took K State to the edge at K State. K State won on a last second FG. On the Oklahoma forums, they are terrified to face K State next week. And Oklahoma is ranked currently

I tell you guys every August: It's not a CFB season unless Georgia and/or Wisconsin are "gonna make it to the championship this year."

that 550 rushing yards BYU ran for in their victory over Texas this season is the most anybody has ever run for on Texas in the history of college football
