The extreme competence of our defensive tackling must have eluded me during the USC and Oregon games.
As to the quality of the win: Iowa is a legit team. I know it because I\'ve seen them play several times over the past two years. They\'ve only got two losses, and while their only good wins are against fellow Big Ten teams, I don\'t think the Big Ten is nearly as bad as its reputation warrants. When the NFL drafts several Iowa players in the next couple of years, I suppose it\'ll just be because of the overwhelming Big Ten bias among NFL decision makers.
At any rate, even if you don\'t rate Iowa, who do you rate among Stanford\'s wins? USC? (who lost to Washington?) Other than that, every one of our other I-A wins has a losing record. We\'ve had an extremely soft schedule this year, and good for us. Doesn\'t make us obviously better than Arizona.
