But man oh man what a fun and emotional season of what ifs.
Schedule wise this record was foretold before the year started

Yep. I thought ceiling was 9 and floor was 7... maybe 6.
I thought we would lose to Oregon and Indiana for sure.
Thought we would lose 3 of 4 in Iowa St, USC, Penn St. and Nebraska
Thought we might win 3 of 4 against MSU, Wisconsin, Nebraska and Minnesota.
Other three didn't worry me.

More or less did what we were expected to do on paper.
We just were closer to our ceiling than many thought we'd be.

This for sure. Razor close to a really special season against an incredibly tough schedule.
next year the schedule gets a little easier (on paper) but the swing in only 4 home conference games vs 5 road games is a sneaky tough nuance (at least isu is at home I guess). And total side bar on schedule but it is extremely annoying imo is the west BIG teams essentially get to miss all the bad Midwest weather games by always playing each other the last two weeks of the season. Bring those b@tches to the Midwest in the 20 degree weather with wind and snow!! But I digress….
Rivalry week will always take that day off the table so you're asking there to be snowmageddon days like this weekend in the beginning and/or middle of November.
That's always hit or miss and to be honest, nobody is ready for that at that point anyway.
We got about as good as you could ask for playing Oregon when we did in the cold and rain. I doubt we'll ever see Oregon where the MSU game was on our schedule this year.
