With what we lose on defense, if we finish ranked, that means Brian Ferentz must have really pulled his head out of his yoonowut.
I don't care for FPI, but last year preseason they had Iowa winning 6.8 games and losing 5.2....so they basically nailed it.

Wouldn’t mind starting out there and working into the top ten.

We will be fine. Line can cover a little for inexperience.
I'm kind of excited to see Eppy and McDonald on the the field.
Those two are going to be a terror off the edge and both are ball hogs.
Be interesting to see what an O does does when they are both on the same side of the field compared to opposite sides.
Maybe not in height and weight, but we could very well see a lot of Von Miller flashes out of those two.
Just need to make sure we are stout in the middle.
Be nice after all these years to see QBs getting hurried, sacked and stripped.
Granted we develop db's with the best of them, but giving them some help is a win win.
you just ruined my dayA good season guarantees a ferentz around these parts for the next 30 years or so.
Uh oh that is the kiss of death for KF, now the pressure is on and he will play not to lose, highly ranked hawk teams sometimes stumble, I hope that is not the case
"Highly ranked"?? 25th is hardly highly ranked.
Well any ranking then
Dude, '08 and '09 were against brutal schedules. Sports-reference.com has them at 21st and 8th toughest, respectively. Just off the top of my head you have a top 25 Pitt team, a top 20 MSU once, two top 5 PSU teams, one top 15 Wisconsin team, top 10 OSU, and a top 25 NW once.This one is simple, schedule. Iowa usually takes advantage of weak schedules. See 2015...basically every season since 05.
Will I ever live to see Iowa have a good season against an also tough schedule....I do not know.
