Not sure if we're that good, or if the division is that bad, or both. Little gun shy after the past few years, hard to read our temperature right now. Obviously we dominated today, and it was truly next man in. What do you guys think? How would we stack up in Indy against a Michigan, Michigan state, or Ohio? We seem to be a work in progress that is doing just that, progressing.
 


Not sold on Michigan or Michigan St. Still think Ohio St has the athletes, but if they stink up the joint like they have been who knows?

True that! Live in the moment. Forgot how much fun it is to dominate a game and not sit on the edge of your seat, chewing you nails, dog hiding in the other room, screaming at the tv, drinking heavily and giving yourself ulcers. I prefer this
 






I think we are a good team with a excellent defense and incredible offensive line. I think the rest of our positions are above average. Our running back corps have looked great the last two games, but our offensive line has been making great holes. On top of that, all of our receivers run block and the fullbacks destroy opposing linebackers. I think we have a chance to do something truly special, but we need to make the most of this bye week and keep from having our traditional stumble.

I am starting to believe this team has what it's takes to do that, but don't want to put money on it yet.
 




I'm really not sure who we are yet. Really wasn't expected to lay that ***-kicking on NW.

Right now, I guess all we really know is that NW is not as good as we thought. They seemed to give up in the second half, so we will have to see if they come back or not.

I think the Meeechigan-MSU game will probably start to clear some things up in the East. Both OSU and MSU have looked pretty shaky (especially MSU). Michigan has looked better each game. It will be interesting to see how things come out today.

Right now, if Iowa gets to Indy, it looks like it should be a heck of a game. Who knows what it will look like next week or two weeks from now, much less the end of the season. One game at a time.

I like this! If we can get a few injuries healed within the next two weeks, watch out. As far as I'm concerned the sky's the limit with this team. We're 7-0 with a good resume and a favorable schedule. We just beat a top-20 ranked team by 30 with numerous starters injured. I don't think I need to drink the Kool-Aid anymore.

I'm not saying we will finish undefeated. but I like our chances based on what I've seen so far.
 




Iowa's light year's better than last year because of the running game. The schedule wasn't exactly packed full of powerhouse teams last season either and the running game struggled even behind what could be considered on paper to be a "better" offensive line. The defense is way better, last year it was AWFUL. Special teams are better, last year they were awful. This year's team would easily beat last year's team by 17+ points.
 


WE ARE THE BLUE COLLAR BRING YOUR LUNCH BUCKET HAWKEYES. If that's not good enough for you then so be it. Go Hawks
 


we are 7-0
the schedule rating will be in the 30's tomorrow with Sagarin

I could give a flying crap with the other three mentioned .. this is like playing golf going to 13 on the final nine at Augusta ... focus on yourself as you can't control the others mentioned
