EXACTLY! We have years and years of data that proves every time they play a team with an offensive pulse they get trounced. Isn't the avg point difference like 25 points each of their last five times they've faced a team in the top 25? It's easy for a defense to look elite when you play junior high level competition every week.
When the hoks run the table with their remaining regular season schedule, the discussion will be hot and heavy as to which seed they should get in the CFP....in the taverns for sure.
Seems like the hawks are good for one perplexing loss down the stretch...though looking at their schedule not sure who that would be.
Maybe in Lincoln if the Fighting Rhules keep improving?
I think Nebby will play them close but I don’t trust their offense to not turn it over numerous times.
The more they win, the longer Brian sticks around. It's a win for us, and a major conundrum for them. If you talk to a rational hok fan they secretly wanted the Penn State game to begin the process of getting him removed. Now he and pops can just point to the W/L record again and buy another year which is the worst long-term thing possible for that program with the realignment happening.
I don't know, I hear/see plenty of griping about the pathetic offense from even the derpiest of Hokroaches, but maybe by then they'll have convinced themselves that the defense and Terrific Twinkle Toes Tory Taylor can overcome all comers.
Hardcore hawk I know, who Said Petras was better than Purdy, is hoping Iowa loses just enough to avoid the CCG and make their 1/1 bowl again.
Probably good that its going to a 12 team playoff format in the near future then. More teams with a chance to put up or shut up regardless of SOS.
It's interesting how many of their writers are claiming an "NCAA attendance record" for the WBB game at Kinnick.
An exhibition game. Which does not count.

Man oh man what will Iowa fans and the media do when CC graduates to the WNBA? I'm told how amazing their fan base is I'm sure they'll still show up to games....
No, No and No. Iowa invented outdoor sports.
Getting a lot of mileage out of that Penn Sate a$$ beating I guess.
FPI had Iowa's 16th and Iowa State's 11th. I don’t think people realize how watered down schedules have become with the size of these conferences, SEC only playing 8 conference games, some teams playing exclusively cupcakes in nonconference
I'm sure Iowa's will go way down moving forward. I'm guessing it will end up like 50th or something.
I think that would be very low end more than 1/2 the season is over and SEC still has its week 11 bye week. If I had to guess it'll range from 30th to 50th
