Speaking of MAC teams, look at what Northern Illinois has lined up for noncon this year. Damn. They probably finish the season with a tougher complete schedule than Iowa.
- 09/01 - at Iowa
- 09/08 - Utah
- 09/22 - at Florida State
- 10/27 - at BYU
***Big 10 Thread***
- Thread starter ClonesTwentyOne
- Start date
Or maybe he's actually looking at the schedule like you insisted he do, and basing his prediction on the teams we're playing in November of 2018 (KState, Baylor etc) instead of a 2 year sample size as though that's some kind of absolute indicator for future success.
But your way seems solid too. Carry on with your hawk talk.

Wow! Out of USA Today's projected top 25 for this fall ISU plays all four Big 12 teams and Iowa only plays two out of five Big 10 teams and projections would be that they lose to Wisky and PSU.
Miami, Maryland and Kentucky only have 5 road games. Maryland and Kentucky still have 7 home games and Miami is playing a neutral site game against LSU.
Congrats on being like the KU and Syracuse football programs?
Michigan, Ohio State, Wisky, Penn State and MSU probably say the same thing about Iowa.
Iowa will be down this year. Kilmer is too busy dealing with his neighbors.
You saying Girl Scouts and a lemon aid stand will be the downfall of Hawkeye football this year?
So Miami is playing a neutral against LSU? Kirk could barely make it out of Chicago playing an aforementioned MAC team.
Gotta wait and see how Miller and Doucherman write do the color commentary on it.
We really just need to get out of the Iowa series and we'll have a lot more flexibility on scheduling some different home and aways with some SEC type teams. Too bad Pollard already tried to take a break from it and Barta said no
Can you imagine the even deeper illegal lengths Barta may have to stoop to attendance wise if ISU isn't on the schedule?
Well to be fair, Iowa tried getting a game at Soldier Field against Notre Dame but Pollard wouldnt allow Iowa to drop ISU for a season.
So Barta didn't want to drop one of the MAC schools on the schedule that you make fun of? How shocking.
Why would he want to play 11 P5 schools in one season? Derp.
Do I have to link the derp thing again, again, and again for you?
USC plays 11 P5 schools very frequently.
I don't think the Big Ten will be very good in basketball again next year. In fact i think they will be worse because I think Wagner leaves and I don't see a championship caliber team in the Big Ten.
As for Iowa not playing 11 power 5 schools... that is just smart unless the 11th school is KU.
