Yeah, that might be true. I hoep it is about Iowa.

If we round into form and beat NW and Iowa, this will be a fun season to look back on.

Would like to know how Iowa avoids Michigan, Ohio State and Michigan St. this year when we play at least one of those teams every year. I know Iowa has to still go out there and win the games, and they're doing a good job at that, but their schedule is ridiculously easy

 
I want them to at least lose one. Because if everything shakes out (Illinois losing 3 conf games, Wisconsin losing 3 conf games) and we beat Iowa, we will go to Big Ten Title game. If we could make it, heck yea.

 
Iowa may enter the postseason as the worst undefeated team since BYU's national championship squad.

They're not bad, just pretty average. But pretty average goes a long way against the right opponents.

We are out of the running for winning the West. That dream died last week. 0 chance.

 
Was hoping they would lose today. NW looks awful. I hate Iowa but I don't see them losing before Lincoln. We have to get better to beat them.

Just watch: Iowa will find a way to blow a game they shouldn't before heading to Lincoln. I'm guessing the Indiana game on the road. They already have significant injuries, including their best defensive player (Drew Ott) for the rest of the season.

Still, their coaching staff fairly deserves a lot of credit. This is not a particularly talented Iowa team, but they are well coached and fundamentally sound--things that had taken a holiday in Iowa's program since their Orange Bowl run a few years back. Wasn't it Phil Steele who said that this was the least talented Hawkeye team in all of Kirk Ferentz's years at the helm?

Their fans are thoroughly obnoxious, but you have to tip your hat to the work being done by a head coach that many had left for dead (including me).

i used to think that about Gary Pinkel too, Missouri has held up well in the SEC since they transferred there........

 
I hope they are, most Iowa fans will tell you they're just waiting for this team to screw up and lose a couple games they shouldn't, they always do. I would love to crush their dreams of a playoff hope with a loss to us in Lincoln to allow us to go to a better bowl game................if we can get those 6 wins.

 
Yes, this season is a wash, I agree. However, it certainly would be nice to see us go on a little run and gain some momentum and confidence heading into next year. I still say that 8-5 this year is a realistic goal.

 
Iowa doesnt strike much fear in me for some reason. i hope they come in all fattened up, highly ranked and undefeated. That might be just what our program needs right now. If we can knock off an undefeated sparty and Iowa....well my friends, the legend of Mike Riley begins!
