Even with this loss

I'm not sure what those numbers mean. They seem to blend last year's final record and this year's.

Both teams have played dismal schedules.

Funny how you point out how you can't control how your opponents does during the season but yet finish your paragraph pointing out the records of 3 of our opponents of this year with a .500 or less record.

Again the comparison between the 15' Hawkeyes to the Huskers of this year isn't the same....Not.Even.Close

Yep. Through 8 games Iowa had played a tougher schedule.

No. 2 (FCS) Illinois State / 10-3

@ Iowa State / 3-9

Pitt / 8-5

North Texas / 1-11

@ #21 Wisconsin / 10-3

Illinois / 5-7

@ #22 Northwestern / 10-3

Maryland / 3-9

------------------

Fresno State / 1-8

Wyoming / 6-2

Oregon / 3-5

@Northwestern / 4-4

Illinois / 2-6

@ Indiana / 4-4

Purdue / 3-5

@ #8 Wisconsin / 6-2

Hmmm I don't see Nebraska scheduling FCS teams every year and Iowa State. Let's see in the next 10 years if Iowa continues to schedule Pittsburgh?
At least Nebraska has the balls to schedule teams like Oregon, Miami, UCLA, Oklahoma, Tennessee for our OOC games unlike our little sister to the east.

Again comparing our schedule with Iowas from last year isn't even close

It is close...it is super freaking close.

I guess after next week it won't be close but who cares if you play good teams and lose. I would rather go 12-0 vs crap teams than something like 8-4 vs good teams.

It's...kinda close.

Fair point.

But finishing the season like Iowa last year would not be ideal, even at 12-0.
