There seems to be an awful lot of saying what happened here without an ounce of truth to back it up. Let's do these kids a favor and say, the accused instead of referring to them as if they have already been convicted. That goes for all of you Tennessee and Ole Miss fans too. Your boys are on the hook and until they are convicted of anything, they are guilty of nothing. Put yourself in their shoes for a minute and think of a time you were accused of doing something that you didn't do or the circumstances were much different than they appeared. I know it is much more fun to act if they are guilty and smack talk but the fact of the matter is that this case should not be tried in the media and nothing should be stated as fact until ALL of the facts come out. The only thing we know for sure right now at any of the three schools is that some kids have done some stupid things that they all will eventually have to answer for. Look at what has happened already. JT is already out millions of dollars, Alabama most likely will not win a national championship this year and Tennessee is going to have recruiting problems for years if this drags out and nobody has been convicted of anything! How are you all making anything better by talking about them as if they are guilty? Help your school and represent and while you are at it, grow up. Right now, in the court of public opinion, your schools are not very well represented. I get that everyone has a right to their opinion but you all need to state it as opinion and not as fact. Come on, let's show some maturity here.

Alabama's strength of schedule is #7 while Iowa's is #82. Where do you think Iowa would be if they played Alabama's schedule? Let the games decide. Iowa still has to play either MSU or UM, possibly even OSU. The highest rank team Iowa has played to date is 19th in the nation. If Iowa wins that game, they will be the Big 10 champ and should be considered. If they lose, then they will be tied with the other candidate, Alabama and strength of schedule will matter more so than every. Playing cupcakes and winning all of your games is not the way to get to the final four. Bama played 8 ranked teams. Given their record against them, I would consider them over Iowa every time. The Big 12 has four ranked teams. OU did get beat by Texas but consecutive wins over top 10 teams gave them credibility late in the season. Lastly Bama's opponents are a combined 76-45, whereas Iowa's opponents are a combined 62-69. If you need more proof than that, then figure OU's opponents win loss records and then get back to us.
