Close Loss Factor: Teams Who Suffered 3 or More Losses ALL By 7 Pts or Less!

That takes us through the MSU game; kinda makes me wonder where the loss is. I'd say NW or Penn State.

I'll take it.

He has them starting 9-1 and playing in the Texas Bowl? Not sure how those two jive.

I would say at PSU, he loves the Hawks when they play at Kinnick and it would surprise me if he picked NW to beat Iowa this year at Kinnick and at night.

I don't know. Persa might not run as much this year - he's already out for their game @BC on Saturday, but if Iowa doesn't figure out how to slow them down, NW could easily win again.

Yes, I realize that Iowa "slowed them down" for the better part of the game last year, but when NW had to have it, they got it.

He also has Iowa "pegged at 9 wins." So finishing with losses at Purdue and at Nebraska. So I ask has he changed his win predictions and/or bowl predictions? 9 wins in the B1G for Iowa puts them in the top 1/3. There will be a big cluster to follow with 8-4 & 7-5 teams. I for one would take a 9 win season as that's what I foresee happening.

9-1 & in the Texas Bowl. That doesn't make sense. That would be a Jan. 1 bowl & after for sure. Doesn't make sense.

I would take 9-1 in a heartbeat. Of course then I would be pi$$ed if they lost to Purdue and ruined a chance to play the huskers for the title game.

2+2 is not adding up to 4 in Steels world.

If we get to 9-1, we're not losing at Purdue.

OUTRAGEOUS!
MAKES NO SENSE!
TOO PREMATURE!

.......but I like it!

If we get to 9-1, we're not losing at Purdue.

Ill say this, If Iowa is 9-1 I doubt they will lose both of their last two. Maybe one or the other.

Im not sure they will start 9-1 though, I think 9-3 overall makes sense with a chance for 10 with the bowl.

Until they start resting in the boiler room, resting up for the last 2 against N and Wisky. 10-2.

At least Steele has some credit to his name. Starting 9-1 would be incredible and I think any of us would take that record ... I am surprised ... But I like it!

this is correct

9-1 wouldn't surprise me. I have the Hawks 9-3 to 10-2. Keep going back and forth. Schedule is set up perfect for you this year
