Scott Wolf of the LA Daily Times or some shit.
He ranked Iowa 24th. Ahead of Iowa?
Utah, Okie State, Ole Miss, Miami, Houston, Nebraska, etc... and this gem:
15. Penn State
24. Iowa
I am bored because I don't wanna crack beers for the Vikes game yet, and this is what I emailed him.
"Scott,
I'm glad to see you still have a vote in the AP Top 25. I am happier, though, that this poll has nothing to do with the BCS - because inept people like you would ruin college football at a much faster rate than the BCS does.
You see, I'll admit that I'm a huge Iowa Hawkeye fan. They're 10-2 and nearly pulled off a perfect road record this year with the toughest road schedule in Big Ten history. If you don't remember, they beat Penn State and Wisconsin on the road by double digits, beat Michigan State in East Lansing, and took Big Ten Champion Ohio State to overtime at the Shoe.
Every week I check Pollspeak.com for people like you - and every week, you continue to deliver. You have Iowa ranked 24th - behind a Penn State team that they dominated (you might not even know where you ranked them, but it was 15th, FYI.)
It's inconsolable. It's down right ignorant.
Let me spell it out for you: IOWA AND PENN STATE HAVE IDENTITCAL RECORDS. IOWA BEAT PENN STATE HEAD TO HEAD. This would merit a higher ranking, no?
Nah, screw it. I'll offer more proof: Penn State has yet to beat a ranked team. In their only two tests of the year, AT HOME against Iowa and Ohio State, they were embarassed. Shut down.
Penn State's marquee win this year? Temple. Iowa's wins that are more impressive? Not too many. Just Arizona, @ Iowa State, @ Penn State, @ Wisconsin, and @ Michigan State. Iowa's loss to Ohio State is more impressive than Penn State's best win.
I give you one point for not ranking USC. I take that point, along with 10 you don't have, away for this incredible feaux paux of ranking Penn State ahead of Iowa.
There's a reason only one other pollster has Iowa ranked below 20th (and that's too low.) Because it's stupid.
If you want to explain yourself, I'm open to an adult debate. But I won't hold my breath."
I'll post if he responds.
