I think Michigan wins the BIG East division undefeated. Unless they start suffering a lot of injuries, or let Rudock throw the ball more, they are the best team in the conference right now.

Pretty sure he is top 3 in the BIG and moving up fast!

Not sure what's happening. I never thought I would see a thread with the title of this one. Crazy twilight zone stuff.

I was thinking this as well. Also, I think that the first Big 12 team to assemble a solid BIG-style defense could actually dominate the conference. Look at what Minnesota did with TCU, and Minnesota is not an elite defense. These offenses in the Big 12 are awesome to watch, but as a BIG fan I...

Nebraska got more than they expected with this guy. Yikes. Not sure whether Ferentz fired him or did the old trick where he didn't "renew" his contract. Either way, KF knew that this guy was toxic and couldn't be at Iowa any longer. I'm surprised he was ever on KF's coaching staff. Must...

Illinois has a much better defense than last year, but their offense hasn't yet faced a defense as good as Iowa. Both teams have key offensive players out with injury. So....I think it will be: Iowa 24 Illinois 10 Iowa shuts down the Illinois running game and makes plays on special teams.

2007. Jake C was the QB. Last game of the season. All Iowa needed to do was win that game to get to a bowl game, but nope.

This is the correct scenario. I'm really amazed at how people would rather see an undefeated Iowa face an undefeated Northwestern. Northwestern's record when Iowa plays them won't mean crap if Iowa loses that game, and fails to make it to the CCG as a result. It helps Iowa if the other...

First of all, OK4P is a troll, but we love that. KOK is with the Dolphins until the end of the season. Philbin could be brought in to consult on the offensive line. He did create the 2002 line that is widely regarded as the best ever at Iowa, and he was pretty awesome at Green Bay. Every bit...

He only has 8 total carries for 35 yards this season with 1 TD and 1 fumble. ....all of those yards came during garbage time.

Compared to who? Please make that argument for us, and don't forget to consider the sample size. Canzeri has 30 times the number of carries as AW. Wadley has fumbled in every game he has been in, so if KF doesn't think he is ready, he isn't ready. No one is doubting his running ability.

I would think that Michigan would have an advantage playing Iowa because of the insight Rudock could provide regarding the Iowa defense and offensive tendencies. This is a matchup that I really don't want to see. It wouldn't have a positive impact on either program so long as Rudock is the QB...

The way I see it...when he stops fumbling in practice, he might get to play in a game. Kirk said he wasn't ready, and that he has to learn to hold on to the ball. No one disagrees with that. If KF doesn't think he's ready, who are we to argue?

In the coaches poll, they went from #18 to not ranked (others receiving votes).

Or foregoing an easy FG attempt to try to convert on 4th and short? I like the aggressiveness. Iowa's offense won't win any shootouts, and sometimes it pays to be aggressive...especially on the road.

Definitely one of the best defenses. Michigan is obviously pretty good. Northwestern still has some offensive issues and they don't have an easy schedule. We will have to see how they hold up. Right now I am shocked at how the "elite" teams in the East division are playing. Michigan State...

Hindsight is always 20/20. If Iowa had converted that 4th down, we would all be talking about what a gutsy, aggressive call it was. It could have resulted in a touchdown. That was a big risk, big reward type of play call on the road against a tough defense. Iowa was handicapped offensively...

Re: I see some people are down on CJ...I think Wisconsin had something to do with tha CJ struggled today, and I think the absence of Boone Meyers had a lot to do with it. Wisconsin had consistent pressure, and they also have a legitimate top 10 defense. An ugly win is still a win. Today the...

You would think the Hawks lost today after reading this thread. No Boone Myers, no Tevaun Smith, LD still limited, 20mph wind, a top 15 defense on the road and 2 turnovers (which Wisconsin had a lot to do with). Iowa overcame all those things and WON! Some of you need to lighten up.

Since 2010, Wisconsin has been elite, and Iowa has been.... well, not elite! Until Iowa proves they belong with the big dogs again, I'm going to have to go with the proven winner, the team with the most talent the last few years, and better coaching. Wisconsin 24 Iowa 17 This is not to say...
