Forecasting the next month of games:
Here is a rundown of Iowa’s upcoming games in the next month looking at a best case and a most likely case scenario:
Upcoming Schedule:
Friday 12/13 – at ISU
Sunday 12/22 – Arkansas Pine Bluff
Tuesday 12/31 – Nebraska
Sunday 1/5 – at Wisconsin
Thursday 1/9 - Northwestern
Sunday 1/12 – at Ohio State
Best Case Scenario:
Iowa takes care of Iowa State tonight in a high scoring affair and picks up a huge road win vs. a top 20 opponent. After two relatively easy home victories over Arkansas Pine Bluff and Nebraska, Iowa manages to escape a slugfest in Madison with another huge road win over a top 10 opponent. After blowing out Northwestern, Iowa competes hard for the majority of the game, but eventually loses to the Buckeyes by less than 10 points. This leaves Iowa with a 3-1 Big 10 record and a 15-2 overall record and a national ranking of about #10 in the country.
Most Likely Scenario:
Iowa loses a tightly contested shootout to Iowa State tonight. After two relatively easy home victories over Arkansas Pine Bluff and Nebraska, Iowa comes up short in a slugfest in Madison. After blowing out Northwestern, Iowa gets run over in Columbus and loses by 10 plus points to Ohio State. This leaves Iowa with a 2-2 Big 10 record and a 13-4 overall record and a national ranking of about #30 in the country.
