Either opponent I think it would be something like Iowa +18 with o/u of 42.what do you think the point spread and over/under will be against either team?
All things are possible. andrew Jackson once observed that no man is more dangerous than the one who has nothing to lose (and I do not have to remind any of you that we have absolutely nothing to lose)Michigan and Ohio State are both very good this year, as usual.
However, both have looked vulnerable at times to lesser teams than Iowa.
Our O is not good, but, they are improving!
Neither have faced a d as good as Iowa yet, our d punches people in the mouth!
With a better than average O output, d gets a little rest, anything can happen.
I think our boys are ready to play this year!
Let's take care of business at Nebraska, which I believe we will, and see what happens.
It’s called being realistic. Super happy for the hawks. Ohio St just beat Minny 37-3 today. We lost to them in case you don’t remember. We’ll be at minimum 16 point underdogs against either team. You can’t punt like we did today 6-7 times in a row against either of those teams. They’re just to good. Both of those teams are elite. We’re a nice story. But yep, we’ll play the game and who knows?You are that negative after Michigan squeaked by Maryland? Ohio State is not Ohio State this year either.
The game next week is a toss-up.
We have a shot. A very long shot, but a shot nonetheless.Michigan and Ohio State are both very good this year, as usual.

Iowa fans are so used to the defense shutting everything down 100% that they think a team getting a few yards is some sort of recipe. The Illini had been scoring a lot of points and rolling up huge yardage. Tonight a total of 13 points and 280 total yards. Passing was 22 of 47 for 215 yards or 4.6 yards per attempt. That's not success. That's freaking terrible.I’m glad that we win the west and get to play in the CCG, but I see absolutely no chance. I see the spread coming out at about 28 regardless of which team it is. Either team will have everyone stopping the run and play man on whoever we do send out. They can easily cover our guys as they simply have better athletes. Deacon, as we all know, can’t move and will be pummeled all night. Our line can’t block the crap defenses from the west let alone those elite athletes.
I hope I’m wrong but it will get ugly and often.
EDIT: we saw today the recipe to beat us. Imagine their receivers going across the middle all day and then running free.

We got cheated against Michigan in the Big Ten championship game?Absolutely the Hawks have a chance. A timely turnover or two and you never know what could happen.
Playing Michigan would add a revenge element from being cheated against the last time they played in the title game.
Team has definitely pulled together the past few weeks. Part of that has been pulling together for Brian. Last time Iowa basketball made the sweet 16 was with a lame duck Dr. Tom
Yes. Michigan was cheating.We got cheated against Michigan in the Big Ten championship game?
I actually love your optimism. It’s not even worth watching if you go into the game with a “we’re gonna lose” attitude. Go Hawks!Michigan and Ohio State are both very good this year, as usual.

Watched any news lately? Michigan has been stealing signals.We got cheated against Michigan in the Big Ten championship game?
13-0 at half and then Minny turned it over three straight times to open the flood gates. Obviously Iowa can't have that type of game ans stay in it.....It’s called being realistic. Super happy for the hawks. Ohio St just beat Minny 37-3 today. We lost to them in case you don’t remember. We’ll be at minimum 16 point underdogs against either team. You can’t punt like we did today 6-7 times in a row against either of those teams. They’re just to good. Both of those teams are elite. We’re a nice story. But yep, we’ll play the game and who knows?
I really wanted to watch CDJ matchup against Harrison Jr dammit!
Well, no one unless OSU beats Michigan....who's gonna cover him now?
That is a terrifying question - leading to nightmare visions of David Bell running through our secondary.who's gonna cover him now?
Can Michigan win without cheating? I think we're headed for another decade of Buckeye dominance after Harbaugh got caught.Iowa vs Mich would be a good game. Iowa vs OSU would not. Hope for Michigan.
Iowa will beat Nebraska by 2 to 7 points next week. If you have followed along this year there is almost zero chance of any other outcome.I think this is an Iowa team with a CFP quality defense although losing Cooper was a big hit and dropped it a notch. It had CFP quality special teams before Cooper got hurt. They still have a great punter. The offense is better than its depths from earlier this year but is still very weak. Iowa could very well do something that neither Michigan nor OSU would do, and that's lose to a bad Nebraska team next week. Those are CFP level teams. Iowa is not.
Sorry, zero chance of shocking the world.Michigan and Ohio State are both very good this year, as usual.

Don’t delude yourself. Michigan is going to club Iowa like Canadian hunters do to baby seals.Michigan and Ohio State are both very good this year, as usual.

Much more likely Iowa loses to Nebraska than wins the BigTen Championship game.Iowa will beat Nebraska by 2 to 7 points next week. If you have followed along this year there is almost zero chance of any other outcome.
Probably true but for all the fans who are worried about or expecting a blowout? BFD. Would you rather be Ne, Wisc. NW, Minn., Ill, Purdue, MD, Ind, Rutgers, MSU, hell, even PED St.? All sitting at home watching the Hawks in Indy. Go enjoy the game experience and let the game play out. You do not have a chance to win if you are sitting at home.Much more likely Iowa loses to Nebraska than wins the BigTen Championship game.
Some of you guys seem to ignore just how bad the West is this year; reality is coming and it's not going to be pretty.
I'll never count Iowa out of any game.
Wow, you just keep coming up with some amazing thoughts.Watched any news lately? Michigan has been stealing signals.
An Iowa coach got a call from a coach in the big ten at 3:30 in the afternoon of that championship game and was notified that Michigan had all their signals. At that point, it's too late to change your signals. The players won't remember them if they haven't been practiced.
Yeah, I would say that's being cheated against. The big ten agrees. And when it's all said and done, that win could very well be vacated by the ncaa.
As for last year vs Michigan, Iowa was aware at that point to code their signals vs the Wolverines
We already have shocked the world. How can a team with a shit show offense be 9-2? Answer, we are in the West. If we had a valid schedule, we might need another win to be bowl eligible. We will get drilled..... AgainMichigan and Ohio State are both very good this year, as usual.

And the following year when we got blown out by them again. The thing is, both of those years Michigan probably didn't need to do that to beat Iowa. Or, you are seeing just how much of a boost knowing the exact plays can have.We got cheated against Michigan in the Big Ten championship game?
