Hayden Fry set a tone in 1981, with Kirk Ferentz at his side

The B1G Two from the 1968 mythical national title from Ohio State through 1980, it was either the Buckeyes or Michigan, the Big 2 that so many in the media seek to return.

Purdue was Iowa's thorn back then for twentyyears, and have become one again in 2020.

1. Minnesota - "Hate Iowa" is annually the theme week to week
2. Northwestern - Hayden didn't want to hurt those boys, and then there was Pat Fitzgerald's broken leg
3. Michigan State - Dantonio modeled Fry/Ferentz in his 2007 debut
4. Nebraska - 0-3 under Frost, in three straight one possession games, which is pretty good

It appears Iowa is on the mind of plenty of teams.

Tom Allen in 2020 is making headway and Iowa will be facing his solid team soon.
