I think I even read an article on this by Jeff Sagrin. Until the data becomes independent for the year, his algorithm relies on subjective human bias. That pre-season human interaction is weened out over the first half of the season. So in his modeling you can see where Clemson is starting to...

You know what's weird is each team is 4 games in and we have 2 opponents in common. It's not critical for Iowa to win this week, but it is critical for Iowa to at least split the next 2 weeks. Given the expectations on the Michigan program this season, a loss to Iowa would send them into...

See! And there is why you should never have a horse in the race in 12-Pack games. I even knew better and still fell for the banana in the tailpipe.

It’s shocking to think back at 2012 and think the team had Hitchens, Kirksey, and Hyde on it and they still sucked. I don’t have much positive to say about that year. I think that’s the only year Nebraska ever won a division in the B1G. But, I think it shows how much Iowa has done that the...

The early part of the season really lacks compelling matchups. And though I really want to jump on the SEC, Big 12, and ACC for craptacular out of conference scheduling, it also extends to the Big 10. Assuming Notre Dame clobbers Michigan later this year, Iowa’s victories over Iowa St. have...

Last 2 games. 2016 and 2013. Michigan crushed Iowa in 2012 to end a 3 game win streak Iowa had in 2009, 2010, and 2011. I’m not sure why their helmet scares Iowa fans. Regardless of how this year’s game turns out, this will be the first decade Iowa definitively got the better part of Michigan.

1). Sparty— I’m issuing a hold on Sparty. I think they are a solid team... capable of beating Michigan and Penn St. That gets them a lot of wins. There is a put up or shut up game coming between Bucky and Sparty. I’d up them 1 win because of Michigan’s collapse. If you are looking for a...

I’m still taking it as a positive bye week because there aren’t any reported team issues.

My brain is telling me to take Iowa this week, but I’m rolling the dice that Iowa makes it through this three game stretch. Gimmie Cal!

Iowa has beat Michigan 5 out of the last 6 times including the last 2. Why would Iowa be intimidated by Michigan? Heck, Nate Stanley was a freshman in high school the last time Michigan beat Iowa.

You could make players that call injury time out sit out for more than 1 play. I mean, gee, if you are hurt, get yourself better.

First the clowns loose Viesha, and now they are jeopardizing their Super Bowl. Couches may be a little safer in Ames tonight.

I think it’s time to start questioning the all-mighty Don Brown defense. Michigan’s last 3 games against power 5 opponents, the Wolverines have given up 61 to Ohio St., 41 to Florida! And 35 to Wisconsin. Today their end play was terrible. They couldn’t contain the edge or generate a pass...

Deace missed an opportunity to really talk about why Iowa won this game despite a significant yards per play differential. Through 3 games, the Iowa defense is playing 52.7 plays per game. Against Iowa St., they were only out there for 55 plays. The few amount of plays is 3rd in the nation...

We’ll have a good comp in 3 weeks whenIowa goes to Ann Harbor. I’m not sure they both aren’t posers.

@RobHowe That’s some nice interviewing of a kid. The interview allowed listeners to get a very broad understanding of a young man. I’d say Deuce is a heck of a lot more confident in his skin than I was at his age.

I’m sure it’s zero. But freshman center, game with massive delays, very loud hostile road environment, wet ball and a soaked field, going head to head with what could be the Big 12’s best defensive player.... The kid didn’t have a bad exchange or false start and when Iowa needed to score, Iowa...

If Linderbaum couldn’t get freshman of the week last week, he never will.

I’m taking Virginia this week.
