^^ totally agree, the hawks played two P5 teams ooc the weakest one on the road where the hawks have stumbled. The hawks outplayed ISU for the last 3 qtrs and definitely the 2nd half but baylor barely beat ISU and ISU shutout Texas and almost beat Okie St.
So give me a break and these schedules were made out not in August but maybe 4-5 years ago.
another thing, Iowa has to play ISU and Iowa wants to have a so called 'tune up' game in the opener, and it will be more of a moot point when the hawks play 9 conf games. Iowa will probably play a tuneup game, play ISU and maybe another power 5 team before heading into conf play.
