Hawks nowhere to be found.

This team needs to stay as far away from the top 25 as possible, for as long as possible...will keep them driving...

I'm hoping we are ranked in 2 weeks because if we're not, it means we lost.

Iowa State is 0-2 after losing to Milwaukee at home, so there's another crappy RPI team we get to look forward to playing

I see 7 teams Iowa plays- strictly for RPI purposes of course.

The schedule is so very bad this year in non-con. There shouldn't be any more than 1-2 losses. At most.

Great. Leave it to isu. Even if we beat them, it's a loss.

Right where Fran wants to be.

Isn't that the standard reply? Or is that just for football?

I don't disagree, but never underestimate a rivalry game. They can go either way.

GO HAWKS!!!

Why can't Fran lock up a home and home with a midwest schools like Creighton, KU, Mizzou, KState, Marquette...just to name a few. Just one would be nice.

That's Barta's job to get that done.

 

[bogeyman]

That's Barta's job to get that done.

I'm sure he consults Fran though and Fran pretty much has final say on what he wants? It would be a good question to ask at a media session I guess, I would ask if they have tried to get someone like that and maybe they have and just can't get it done.

 

[FirstDownHawkeyes]

That Creighton game in DSM was perfect. They should go back to that and play UNI and Drake every year. UNI home when ISU away and Drake only in Carver or not at all.

 

[eveningnewsteam]

Ask Mr. Davis how he did it. Home and homes with Duke, Carolina and Kansas.

 

[MelroseHawkins]

It's going to almost take the beginning of conference play before Iowa even sniffs the Top 25.

Was Barta the AD then?

You guys get to hammer this for this year and this year only, and then next season - 20 of Iowa's RPI games will be against B1G teams (most of them are top 150) - 1 game with ISU, 1 game with Drake of UNI, 1 game with the Gavitt Games, 1 game with the ACC Challenge and the potential of a exempt tournament. it will no longer matter. It does this season, but it's the last season... so... that's the deal. If 25-27 of your 33 or 34 games are against the top 150, it doesn't matter who else you play.

We are in the 2K Classic next year with UConn, Cuse, and Oregon.

Nope that is football only.

Yep. Scheduling will almost do itself from here on out:

20 conference games
1 vs ISU
1 vs ACC Challenge team
1 vs Gavit games opponent
3 vs Some tournament
1 vs Neutral site UNI/Drake team

Just leaves basically 4 home games for the non con to be added.
