Tough to tell who on their schedule ends up ranked next year. If it's just 2 and it's Ohio State and Washington I don't like their odds. I could see Iowa State, nebraska, Wisconsin and UCLA with a chance to end up ranked and I like their odds more in those game but they could lose any of those too.
I'm in minority here but I don't believe oline was as bad as people think. It's so hard for Iowa to throw and catch. I think you could argue pass protection was mostly good. Running the ball is hard because nobody respects the passing game and Iowa's playing a very predictable scheme into 9 man boxes. If you asked me to rank Iowa's offensive weaknesses in order it would be a deep bench but I'd set it atWhen are they going to have good Olines again?
I feel the OL is the biggest weakness actually. Followed by not having a QB that can at least move or WRs that can get separation. The OL has been horrible the last three years.I'm in minority here but I don't believe oline was as bad as people think. It's so hard for Iowa to throw and catch.

1) Quarterbacks
2) scheme/playcalling
3) wide receivers
4) offensive line
This is just my opinion of course and offensive line is far from great but I think it's an OK line If top 3 were improved.
You aren't only one. I said I'm in minority. I just think we've had about as bad of quarterback play as you can have last several years and it's made everything on offensive line much much harder. We do ok pass protection wise and it's hard to pass for 100 yards. Until we can throw and catch easier it's going to be hard for any offensive line. This is definitely a step below are norm up front thoughI feel the OL is the biggest weakness actually. Followed by not having a QB that can at least move or WRs that can get separation.
