IL a definite LOSS??? They have played no one to date. Plenty of losses coming for them including a date at kinnick.
They have played similar competition to Iowa and have scored more and given up less. That espn fpi was really accurate last year in predicting wins / losses across the board. I'm also predicting NW to be a loss, btw, as things stand today.
Why is it that when we beat Iowa State, everyone disparages the quality of the win?
Iowa State, when they play Iowa, is TOUGH. Forget the rest of the season....on that day, they are always a very tough team to beat.
This was a huge win for Iowa. I also think that, barring injury, Iowa St. is going to win several more games this year. They are much improved.

Iowa State isn't the worst team Iowa will face this year. They are probably one of the worst no doubt. 66 yards in 31 plays! And Iowa isn't one of the best teams they'll face either.
Iowa State has a few good players, namely Lizard, and Quentin Bundrige. If they had a decent QB they would have a chance in a lot of games. But with a roster of basically junior college talent and size, I expect that this is going to be another year where Iowa State struggles to get past 4 wins.
The answer is no. With Iowa's schedule, they win 8 games minimum.
I would put them as the 3rd worst team on the schedule behind N Texas and Purdue.

Don't know what game some of you were watching? Best team Rhodes has had so far? Shot at going bowling?
ISU has problems on their offensive line. They aren't going to win a lot of games if they can't get their running backs over 100 yards a game. They need help at QB. Richardson is not going to get it done. He hits an occasional shot but he leaves opportunities almost every series. Defensively, they still have problems on the D line. Iowa pushed them all over the field. They got some sacks but the one I remember was from an Iowa mistake more than over powering their opposition.
