Iowa St was a .500 team BECAUSE they beat Oklahoma St. They lost to a team that would have otherwise not even made a bowl.
They were not among the 2 best teams in the country.
If they had gone undefeated, I could see the argument. But they lost, and they lost when they knew they had a chance at a National Championship, and they lost to a team that should have finished the year 5-7.
Alabama or LSU would have pulled their underwear up over their heads.
If they had gone undefeated, there would be no argument.
