LOL there's no polishing the turd that is the B1G west.
Any division that can be won with the shitwiches BF serves up every week is not a real football division.
Good win at Wisconsin. Here is Iowa's remaining schedule according to today's SP+: (Offense/Defense Ranking included)
#37 Iowa (121/1):
#56 Minnesota (77/36)
Nuetral site - #95 Northwestern (110/73)
#52 Rutgers (76/32)
#58 Illinois (80/33)
@ #53 Nebraska (87/21)
Only one true road game coming home
#40 Iowa State (90/12) - 90 on offense is skewed to our first 3 duds, all three conference wins are to top 50 defenses in the country:
@ #71 Baylor (65/71) - Baylor's offense is better than any Iowa will face until Indy... How is that possible
#38 KU (13/90)
@ #65 BYU (62/63)
#5 Texas (7/11)
@ #21 KSU (12/39)
I get more and more jealous every day of the Charmin Soft Big 10 West...

Iowa's 2024 schedule according to today's SP+:
Illinois St (Doesn't rank FCS)
#40 ISU (90/12)
#46 Troy (83/22) - TROY has a higher SP+ than the entirety of Iowa's remaining 2023 schedule.........
Not conference order yet...
#53 Nebraska (87/21)
#95 Northwestern (new coach)
#4 Washington (1/28)
#25 Wisconsin (49/13)
@ #32 Maryland (42/27)
@ #55 Michigan St (new coach)
@ Minnesota (77/36)
@ #2 Ohio St (10/4)
@ #23 UCLA (55/10)
Iowa plays 5 teams in the top 55 of offense in 2024. That does not include ISU or if the new Michigan St or Northwestern coaches bring better offense to the program.

But they have an "elite" defense, the numbers point it out, says every EIU fan.
Reality it's a very good defense playing crappy offenses week after week to skew the numbers. The special teams are elite though, which helps out the defense even more.
Any time you hear that this year just bring up 31-0 to Penn St...
That #1 defense gave up 215 yards rushing to Penn St when everyone on planet earth knew that they were going to run it 75% of the time due to Iowa's inability to move the ball and playing with a lead...
I feel Iowa's defense last year was elite. I think this year's defense is very good, but not close to elite.
Iowa state got a tough draw in big 12. No Houston, UCF, and play all the top teams in the conference. A team like Kansas State though got some scheduling breaks. They have Texas and pretty much the rest is Big Ten West type. The thing with Big Ten West is someone gets to win it which is a reward I guess. As far as the schedule though after a crossover against one of the power 3 in the East or sometimes 2 like Iowa had last year their schedule is no different than most teams.
The mind Olympics hawk fans play about their schedule never ceases to amaze me.
Still not daunting. Big Penix Energy will be gone from Washington and Tuas lil bro I'm not sure if he's back at Maryland next year. And no more Marvin Harrison Jr at OSU either.
Iowa doesn't jump into the top 25, they back into it.
IDK, the Big 10 record against the team's they have beat is pretty impressive:
0-3 Michigan St
1-3 Purdue
2-1 Wisconsin (wins over Rutgers and Purdue)
Soon to be 1-3 Minnesota
That is a combined record of 4-10 for their opponents conference wins before 11/4 at Wrigley Field. Hilarious how Hawk fans are blinded by the dog$hi* divisional records.
To be fair I honestly haven't seen many Iowa fans claim to be good or beat their chests outside of the absolute morons on Twitter. I know all of my Iowa friends think it's an absolute joke.
To be fair, you must not live in Eastern Iowa. I hear it EVERY SINGLE DAY . . . .
The Big easy East is heads and shoulders above the West, with annually the top three teams in the conference being on the east side.
But I still see EIU fans making the statement that if you compare the two sides of the conference its almost even with a slight lead to the east side. Hell someone was saying how close the conference records were between EIU and Penn State, again forgetting that Penn State plays Ohio State and Michigan every year, while EIU has played the two schools only 5 times combined since 2015, I am not counting the Michigan/EIU championship game. While Penn State has played those schools 16 times over the same time period.
*Or work with Panther Hawks. They are FAR louder than Iowa fans who graduated from the school
Why do you gotta bring Hawkize into this?
