5 compared to 4 in the top 30, that is not a big difference between the conferences. All it means is the other teams in the big 10 are all scheduling tougher opponents than iowa...

Really. A #68 or a #71 trashing a #95 would be okay, but NOT a #74. there is a 21 team difference between Iowa State and iowa. That is NOT a small number. In no way am I saying Iowa State is playing a TUFF AS RAIN schedule, but it isn't as easy as iowa's.
FYI - Iowa State also had one of the toughest last year and iowa's was very easy once again. The fact of the matter is this is NOTHING new at iowa. I can't remember the last year where I didn't say "Wow, I wish we had iowa's schedule instead of ours."
