10-2 easy peasy. 9-3/8-4 at the very worst.

No this couldn't be true. Any team with this schedule only has a chance to win 5 games. If you win more than that, you should get a huge contract extension, make several YouTube videos, and bowl in your stadium.
 
the big 12 is tougher than the big 10, anybody who thinks otherwise after the first two weeks needs their head examined. I say if the hawks were in the big 12 they'd still make a bowl game but I'd set my sites on about 7 wins and not 9. Regardless, Iowa's biggest hurdle is ferentz and GD's playcalling as much as the other team's defense.
 
There is no way Iowa would be as poor as the clowns with their schedule. Most of the time Iowa plays to the level of their opponent. ISU has accumulated all this depth and talent and is still trying to fight its way out of a wet paper bag.

Iowa is 2-0 and ISU is 0-2 thus far...and Rudock has done "nothing to lose his job." Literally the ONLY reason for these facts, thus far, is because we escaped with two nail biter wins against much inferior opponents. We have had a cream puff schedule thus far while many teams have gone out and faced real challenges.

So what would our psyche be right now if we played ISU's schedule? Rather than playing a middle of the pack MAC team to start the season, we likely would have got nipped by one of the top D2 programs in the country who was charged up to play us...then instead of out talenting little UNI, we were instead matched up against a Top 20 D1 opponent like KSU and lost another close one? We would be 0-2 heading into ISU. The same coaches and same players would be in place, just a different perspective...hell, assume we even had the same completion percentages and statistics (which is unlikely, as I doubt we could have thrown nearly as well against quality opponents). What a difference the schedule makes.

Is Rudock benched?
Is Bethard a fan favorite by now?
Do we have just 2 RBs sharing the load rather than 5?
Is there major head on our OC?
Is there major heat on Ferentz himself?

Now imagine if we went to Notre Dame or Oregon or LSU? Ouch.

Two parts to this answer.

First part is a question: Why don't you say "iowaSTATElaw" in your username?

Second part: If we played ISUs schedule, all our games would be on FoxSports1, with dork broadcasters/commentators and that even bigger dork replay expert.
 
What if we were big cry babies every year and played the what if game like ketchup and mustard. News flash LAmes, if your one of the worstest college football teams in the country every year, your schedule will be tough for you. Get better and it may not be so tough for you

I hope that the Iowa team that shows up this week isn't the same one from last week and that the ISU team that played last week doesn't show up at Kinnick. If that happens Iowa in Big time trouble..

Can you see it? Now imagine she's WHITE?

And the Big 12 is no better than the Big 10. The difference is that the Big 12 is no threat to market share so when a team like Texas gets thumped, nobody cares. Both leagues are equally average.

The Big 10 is down this year no doubt. But is the Big 12 THAT much more difficult?

Baylor and Oklahoma- No doubt better than the top of the Big 10.
Oklahoma State- Stuck with FSU, but they don't look to be the same early. Lost their starting QB. Really unknown
TCU- Needs to take a big step forward this year to not suck. Only played one game against the sisters of the poor.
K-State- Struggled against ISU. They are not as good as several Big 10 teams, but there are Big 10 teams for worse than them.
West Virginia- They were bad last year. Was the Alabama game a fluke, or have they really improved? Jury is still out.
Texas- Not very good, beat down by BYU. Not Notre Dame, BYU.
Texas Tech- Really struggling against very mediocre teams.....kind of like Iowa.
ISU- do I really need to say it?
Kansas- sucks

So outside of the top 2, this isn't an overly impressive group of teams. The problem with the BIG is that we don't even have the two teams this year.

Just spit water everywhere. So well done BoHawk.
 
If Iowa played ISU's schedule this year, would that mean we get to be on cyclones.tv? Because that would be AWESOME!
