I know. And only Michigan and Michigan State bring in top tier talent pretty much every year. If Iowa improves enough to be in the top 75 on defense...far from elite...they likely win at least half of their conference games next season IMO. Be a little bit less careless with the ball, see marginal improvement from 2 or 3 of the freshmen and sophomores and add 2 freshmen and Connor and that's likely 12 to 14 wins...20 conference games.It's crazy after such a down year almost every team is losing most of their good players.
I just looked at our conference schedule for next year and I like it. I think we could sweep 2 of our 7 home and home opponents and split with the other 5. That's 9-5. Our one game opponents set up nicely...2 toughest are at home and all 3 on the road are winnable. I will be optimistic and say 5-1. That's 14-6 and a very good year. Drop the record to 12-8 and it's still a lot more fun than this season.
