Iowa Schedule
- Thread starter NWHawk33
- Start date
Every year I think we go anywhere between 7-5 and 10-2 on the season
The professionalization of college football makes achieving playoffs the main thing.
Hard to avoid the ' empty season" mentality when you sustain 2 or 3 early losses.
Regular season dilution is a natural byproduct of playoffs.
I hate it.
I wish we played OSU in Oct and UWash in November.
If we sustained a key injury in Sept,we screwed.

Why? Iowa hasn’t won 7 games in a season in over a decade.
I guess Iowa is going to have to have their s**t together before midseason next year. Something they haven't been very good at doing, historically.
November looks easy.
Need to win one of those first three conference games to be in playoff discussion.

I don't care what anyone says or how irrational this is; Iowa State is our most important game. We must beat them, completely.
I'm guessing the two bye weeks this season were a quirk of the calendar.
Absolute cake of a schedule. If they don’t make the playoffs with this schedule, it’s never gonna happen.
Labor Day is later in the week, which pushes week 1 into September instead of late August
If you’re gonna make silly corrections at least acknowledge it. You are referring to the final record after 13 games his post used 12. After 12 they’ve had what two 7-5 years?
Am I the only one that thinks Michigan is a paper tiger? I don’t think they finish top 5 in the B1G.
I think Michigan is going to roll next year.
Underwood will mature into top qb.
They cleaned up with Utah transfers plus strong portal.
Return whole o- line.
I see them in top 3 in league.
Would beating ISU "completely" count for more than one W?I don't care what anyone says or how irrational this is; Iowa State is our most important game. We must beat them, completely.
Just like the regular season has been diluted in college basketball. I hate that too,
I felt that way last year. No idea what to expect this year.
The home schedule blows besides Ohio St.
Iowa gets better as the season goes narrative will be easy to back up this year.

I don't know.....OSU, ISU, Wisc, and Neb make for a pretty decent conference home slate. Yeah, Purdue blows, but the rest are pretty intriguing.
If Moore was still there I’d agree. Unfortunately they failed upwards and got Wittingham as their coach. They’ll be good.
Wisky Purdue and Nebraska were a combined 6-21 last year in the big ten. That’s bad. That’s what’s coming to Iowa City.
Wisky and Nebraska are still rivals. If you can't get excited about that, I can't help you.
Maybe. But have you seen Penn State's schedule? Campbell's mom couldn't have come up with an easier path.
Or a QB who actually knows the offense and who can throw the ball down the field to some talented receivers will be a great advantage for Iowa.
Ya that's some weak sauce. Knowing Campbell, he'll start 5-0, half his D will get injured and they'll finish 7-5.
I said last decade. Thats 2016 to now. That doesn’t even include 2015. So, 2 in that time frame. Not really worthy of consideration for 2026, IMO.
Any Hawkeye game is a good time. Home slate is great to see.
They actually did a solod job retaining players as well as portal additions. Their run game could be tops in the B1G. They have holes at LB and maybe TE and thats about it.
Why? A win is a win, right? Beating NIU would be exactly the same as beating OSU according to your "logic".
We'll see. The new coach had already announced he was retiring and then M threw a bunch of money at him. We'll see just how dedicated he is to the grind, and frankly I doubt hell be at Michigan for long.
I thought I'd read he had told Utah he was done at the end of the season. Okay, I guess he told the school he was "stepping down with no plans for the future" and then he shows up at Michigan within days.
