ESPN releases initial FPI ratings for 2016 season

[commando]

as far as i can tell...the pundits think we have anywhere from the easiest to the toughest schedule in the nation. can't argue with them on that.

I think it just shows the lazy a$$ who ranked them at ESPN didn't really bother looking at our schedule.

It wasn't done by a person, it's a pre-determined formula. Of course, if the numbers that you used in that formula are garbage, you'll get bad results.

Well, there we go. Any formula that ranks Iowa's schedule as easier than ours is a load of crap.

Uh, Iowa's schedule is easier than ours, and has been for awhile since they've been ducking the East division powers for a few years. At least they play UM and (overrated) PSU this year.

I meant harder than ours, sorry had just woken up.

How does Iowa keep ducking the big boys of the East? When they finally regress again it is gonna be brutal, a typical 5-7 Iowa season could quickly become a 3-9 season. Gonna be great.
