I find it interesting that our schedule has us playing against a lot of teams coming off of bye weeks...so we get NW who had a bye week this week like us, then at Minnesota, who will get a bye before playing us, then at Illinois on the 15th just happens that Illinois gets a bye on Nov 8.
Coincidence I am sure, but that is 3 in a row with 2 weeks to prepare against the Hawkeyes. Wisconsin, who spanked the crap out of a Maryland team that beat us, does have to play Nebraska the week before they travel to Kinnick at least.
I do see things that make me think Iowa is not all that bad, but this is from other teams. Look at some of the records out there:
Oklahoma is 5-2
Texas is 3-5
BYU is 4-4
Florida is 3-3
South Carolina is 4-4
USC is 5-3
Granted I think we would lose to OU and likely both USC's, but I would say we are about even with the others...it could be a lot worse I guess.
