... and with 2 home games and 2 away games remaining how probable is it Iowa finishes 8-4 or better?
We reached the half way point of the season where I thought the Hawks would be 3-3 (with losses to Iowa State, Penn State and NW). The Hawks are now 4-2 and that is one win better than I thought. Based on the returns to date and looking ahead here's what I think will unfold in November.
I believe the Hawks will win 2 of the final 4 games and finish 8-4. I think the chances are slightly better than 50 - 50 Iowa finishes 8-4.
I also think Iowa will beat one of the Michigan teams (with Michigan the most probable win) and win one of the two away games (with Purdue the most probable win on the road).
It's not out of the question Iowa could beat any one of the four remaining teams on their regular season schedule, or for that matter lose to any one of the four teams. It should be a very interesting 4 game stretch with a lot to gain along the way for the Hawks.
Yes, I understand there are two Big Ten games the Hawks must play before we enter November, and Iowa could lose to either or both teams. But judging from the returns to date I just don't see Iowa losing to Indiana and/or to Minnesota. Not this year. The Hawks will be 6-2 going into November.
