I like the realism in this short tidbit

Props the the OP who posted the full article on Vegas and CFN..


2017 Iowa Hawkeyes Football Schedule
Realistic Best Case Scenario
There aren’t any hiccups early on with a win over Josh Allen and Wyoming, a victory in Ames over Iowa State, and a blowout win over North Texas leading up to key Big Ten wins over Penn State and at Michigan State. The Hawkeyes beat Illinois, Northwestern and Minnesota for an 8-0 start and the attention of the college football world going into the Ohio State home game. They split games against the Buckeyes and at Wisconsin, and they beat Nebraska on Thanksgiving Friday on the road. Realistically, if everything goes perfectly and the planets align correctly, they go 10-2.

This is his best case scenario. Usually, they write a worst and best case scenario, as well as a paragraph about how they actually think the season will play out.

I didn't read the full article but I'm guessing he doesn't have very high expectations for Iowa if his absolute best case scenario still has them losing 2 games.

best case scenario 15-0
worst case scenario 8-7

best case scenario 15-0
worst case scenario 8-7

There is no way it is humanly possible to go 8-7: To play 15 games you would have to play in conference championship (possible but not probable at 8-4) and would have to play in the playoffs for NC, not possible at 8-4.

I'm so excited we are beating Penn St. Let's fulfill that prophecy.

The nice thing about the off season is dreaming about the upcoming season through hawkeye tinted glasses. I use to do that until I realized how much pain and suffering would come crashing down on me once the the real season got under way.

Unless if we beat Neb so bad that it counts as 2 wins. I could see a 70-10 beat down of them.

I don't think you understand, that is not possible. first off you have us at 5-7 in regular season which 99% of the time means no bowl. Even if we play in a bowl that is only 1 extra game and even if by some miracle we make Big10 CC game that is max 2 games that are both highly unlikely

I believe he is suggesting a 6-7 BIG champion will make the playoff and win both games...the chances of getting invited to the college football playoff at 6-7 would likely be below average.

LOL, I don't even think it is probable to make B10CC with 5 wins and now he is thinking we make playoffs, win both games, and would be considered national champions with 7 losses....SMH

I just payed off my house and would like to bet it on a 6-7 team making the playoffs.

I sure hope so, unfortunately I have seen things even more clueless on here that was serious
