I imagine it’s just the way the calendar breaks. College football regular always starts the Saturday before Labor Day & ends the Saturday after thanksgiving.
In 2019 Labor Day is early, September 2, and thanksgiving is late, November 28. There are 4 Saturday’s in September & October and 5 in November. Combined with the opening Saturday being in August 31, 2019 that’s 14 Saturday’s in the regular season so 2 off weeks
you have to remember that with our annually incredibly weak non con schedule and b 10 west schedule, most weeks are byesI was looking at the schedule for next fall and noticed that there are two open/bye dates listed. One is 9/21 and the other is 11/2. We still have 12 games scheduled, so this seemed different from other years with only 1 bye. Am I missing something?
I see we finally get to settle all of that unfinished business we have with the Rutgers Scarlet Knights!
No ISU game after 2023. Wouldn't that be something if it stayed that way? Not a chance, though. Barta ought to tell ISU, 2 Iowa home games for every 1 ISU home game, or no deal. Then, it would probably end up 2 ISU home games for every 1 Iowa home game.

Agree they should at least cut ISU back to every other year...I'd say cut it off at that point. Get some variety in other Power5 teams to play.
Then don’t be that guy that brags about kf recordUntil Iowa shows that it can beat the teams in the West, I'm not complaining about the schedule
