Answers: Team E - Iowa

Team E
7-0 overall record
4 road/neutral site wins
1 win against opponents with 5 wins or more
6 wins against BCS conference opponents
.587 opponent win %
10.0 avg. margin of victory
5 wins by 10 points or less

Winner.

This is easier than it appears as a few of these stats are completely meaningless to me, and a couple others pretty much cancel out across the board.

Hey Shoalzie, which one is Iowa? We don't fit any of those.

Iowa looks like Team E.

Excluding games against D1-AA teams is nonsense. If they're going to schedule them, they have to own up to them.

Under this particular set of criteria, excluding the D1-AA teams hurts your resume more than it helps.

Full disclosure. Good or bad, hinder or help, that result has to be included too.

Sorry I missed the FCS teams not counting. That said, Iowa has 4 wins vs teams with 5 wins- not 1.

Ah come on...don't make me recalculate this shit!

Just wondering...does the BCS count games against non-FBS teams? That's kind of why I didn't include them.

And yes, Team E is Iowa.

Actually, Shoalzie's numbers are correct. Note his caveat:

Note: Games against non-FBS opponents are not included in the resume

So, under this set of rules...

ISU has 4 wins - scratch them.
Arizona has 4 wins - scratch them.
PSU has 6 wins - keep them.
Arkansas St has 1 win - scratch them
Michigan has 4 wins - scratch them
Wisconsin has 4 wins - scratch them
MSU has 3 wins - scratch them

PSU is the only one.

Yeah, it was something to do while football was on...kinda dorky, I know.

Sorry, didn't see you excluded 1 AA games until later in the thread.

A - Boise State
B - Texas
C - Alabama
D - Cincinnati
E - Iowa
F - TCU
G - Florida

Cincinnati has beaten a team with 5 wins, South Florida. They were 5-0 and I believe ranked 21st when we beat them. Just sayin...

Pretty sure they beat FCS team, so that would make them a 4 win team based on this criteria.

I thought that only applied to the undefeated teams, not who they played. If you're right then Shoalzie was dead on.

Well, Iowa has beaten 4 teams with 5 wins, but based on his criteria it's actually only 1 due to FCS wins from our opponents. Scroll up, you'll see this explained.

They didn't beat Miami, we did. It is a rivalry that is over a century old and we play them every year. Their only decent win is FSU and even that one isn't that impressive but holding FSU to 7 points in Tallahassee is pretty awesome. They'll have some opportunities for some better wins down the stretch though.

I did it for the unbeatens and their opponents...I took the non-FBS games out of the equation. In the case of South Florida...I had them as 3-2 instead of 5-2 because of the wins over Wofford and Charleston Southern.

The way that we're playing right now I am not so sure. A good opportunity tomorrow night against #21 WVU, but I am not so sure which USF team will show up.
