"If this team's got a pulse on offense, they have every right to compete for a College Football Playoff spot."

Not sure I would like that location and that matchup.

remember when seasons were 12 games long, max? 11 reg season + 1 bowl game.

Now, potentially, you could have this:

12 reg season games
1 Conf Championship game
4 Playoff games
...........................................
17 total games
================

Kirk was joking this last weekend that he may have to call Tim Polasek up and ask him how they did it in FCS ball with the season and then the 16 team playoff deal and having kids having to practice during finals week.

I honestly think 11-1 in the reg season is realistic.

We have one "tough" game (Ohio State) on the road; the rest of the tough games, arguably, are at Kinnick.

Iowa's 2024 schedule:

  • vs. Illinois State, August 31, 2024
  • vs. Iowa State, September 7, 2024
  • vs. Troy, September 14, 2024
  • at Minnesota, September 21, 2024
............................Sep 28 BYE.............................................
  • at Ohio State, October 5, 2024
  • vs. Washington, October 12, 2024
  • at Michigan State, October 19, 2024
  • vs. Northwestern, October 26, 2024
  • vs. Wisconsin, November 2, 2024
  • at UCLA, November 8, 2024
............................Nov 16 BYE.............................................
  • at Maryland, November 23, 2024
  • vs. Nebraska, November 29, 2024
