That’s such a huge improvement from the 2005-2014 years. As a double digit favorite in those years, they had like 12 losses....

The current win% as a favorite is pretty close to the 2001-2004 years.

I do think 2 of those 4 losses as fav were double-digit spreads (NDSU and one of the NW losses).

This is crazy good. Think about how many games of those 44 where Iowa is basically a 4 pt favorite or less. To win 91% of those games and only Bama and Clemson have a better % is nuts.

Now they just need to win games when they are a small underdog with the conference title on the line. Since 2015, they have lost ALL of those games. Yet it seems like as soon as the conference title is out of reach, they loosen up and start playing better.
