Jeeesh, what a letdown

You're not the one Iowa/MSU needs to convince. That's besides the point. The point is that a one loss Iowa team COULD get in. Somebody said Iowa had to go 13-0. That's not true, assuming they have a schedule like the one they have this year.

So why are we complaining about North Texas again???

I don't know? You'll have to ask somebody who is upset about scheduling North Texas.

But keep something in mind....those teams are "name" enough that they can get a home and home, which allows them to still keep their 7 home games. There's no "name" team that's going to give us a home and home...best we could hope for would be a neutral site game (similar to Wisky/ND where they're playing one in Lambeau and the other at Soldier). Not sure the revenue split would be sufficient to cover the loss of a home game. Plus, and maybe this shouldn't matter, but I know it does.....the loss of a home game is a HUGE deal for Iowa City in terms of lost revenue.

Ok, Iowa may not get USC, but they could certainly pull off something like what Purdue did when they got both Louisvillle and Missouri on the schedule this year. Iowa could easily get Iowa State and a Louisville type school in the same season.

I see that in 2020 and 2021, Wisconsin is playing both Syracuse and Notre Dame in non-conference.

This whole idea that Iowa can't do the same is B.S.
