Kenny Dillingham delivered a robust message to the Faculty Soccer Playoff choice committee on Saturday.
Dillingham’s Arizona State Solar Devils routed the Iowa State Cyclones 45-19 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, to win the Massive 12 championship. The Solar Devils dominated after halftime and outscored Iowa State 21-0 within the third quarter to show the sport right into a blowout.
The win made ASU 11-2, however Dillingham feels his group is even stronger than that. He communicated that message throughout a postgame interview with ESPN.
“Final 12 months they stored Florida State out as a result of their quarterback didn’t play. We’re 11-1 with our quarterback. 11-1, and we’re Massive 12 champs. I believe we needs to be handled like an 11-1 group,” Dillingham argued.
That’s a good level by Dillingham, who referenced an undefeated Florida State group being disregarded of the playoff final 12 months on account of a season-ending harm to Jordan Travis.
ASU misplaced to Texas Tech in April for his or her first defeat. They have been additionally overwhelmed at Cincinnati in October when quarterback Sam Leavitt was out.
The committee in all probability gained’t care an excessive amount of about that, however the win over Iowa State ensures that Arizona State will make the sphere — which is greater than we are able to say for Florida State. Arizona State may even find yourself with a bye within the first spherical.
