I respect the coach's poll more than the writer's poll. Nebby didn't make the top 25.

 

[mvhomerl]

Just lost my farm. My bet to myself the first thread after the poll, would be about the Clones. Nebraska is the winner.

 

[H4wkfan4life]

Well great 4-8 here we come .

Seems the sorry b1g west has as many ranked teams as the entire little 12.

 

[David1979]

Big 12 is really down. Iowa's schedule is ridiculously tough but we already knew that.

How does that rank? Does look pretty tough and Purdue could also be a tough game. Solid schedule.

 

[ChiPackHawk]

Big 12 is really down. Iowa's schedule is ridiculously tough but we already knew that.

Most everyone in the Big Ten is saying the same thing. It's what the SEC goes through every year. Good to see the Big Ten getting better.

 

[mvhomerl]

It will be interesting what those teams will be ranked when Iowa plays them.

 

[ThrowBones92]

One post in, nothing about Iowa, just Nebraska. lolz

"Solid," lol.

Maybe South Carolina plays a tougher schedule than Iowa. Maybe.

 

[iahawkeyes17]

I know doesn't mean squat in grand scheme but still good to see 7 Big 10 teams showing conference will be tough this year. Big 10 West itself has 4 teams between the 17-26th spot. Penn St. one team I think is a bit over rated from the conference.

 

[mvhomerl]

Just peeked at South Carolina schedule... no maybe about it.

Yep, some of our fans have crushes on Nebraska. The same as a crap ton of your brethren come here to dote affection on us.

 

[ZJSARENOTFREE]

Toughest Schedules

 

[Messy58]

too high Penn St /WI./Texas am/Oregon

 

[Messy58]

Better watch out for MI ST

 

[dbrocket]

Iowa plays:

at #7 Michigan
#14 Penn State
at #17 Wisconsin
at #24 Iowa State

Pretty tough schedule.

And yet I feel like our team is better than 6 of those seven teams. (I don't believe in Penn St. or Wisconsin this year.) That doesn't mean we'll definitely beat them, but it means we have a good chance at navigating that tough schedule with success.

 

[Hawksofly101789]

Good now when Iowa goes undefeated we don’t have to listen to the same old story about the “easy BIG schedule” haha

 

[dbrocket]

It will be interesting what those teams will be ranked when Iowa plays them.

Good point. On paper, the schedule looks like 3 teams we should beat, 1 team we should lose to, and 8 near coin flips. But, a lot of that is people assuming other teams figure out their very real question marks. We'll see how many of these teams people are wrong about.

 

[grayhair81]

Not much love for the Texas 12/10. Only three teams. The B1G West has that many.

 

[Johnsoda123]

Book it. Iowa loses in Ann Arbor and wins the rematch in Indy.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

All #1.

That's the best political answer possible because you can spin that both negatively AND positively, however you want.........

 

[MepoDawg#]

You mean two posts in as the first post lists the top 25 including Iowa then lists others receiving votes which includes Nebraska. Good math skills and reading skills though from Nowledge U.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Or we win both and we steal their lunch money for good measure.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

No. Michigan State owes us. So does Penn State.

Payments are past f***ing due.

 

[ThrowBones92]

You got me on a technicality. I don't consider the OP as a post in the thread.

 

[ThrowBones92]

Obviously.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

I don't know what they return, but we also play a Middle Tennessee State team that played in the CUSA title game last year.

 

[FlickShagwell]

They're tough if you're Michigan (so are Maryland and Indiana, apparently). Not if you're Iowa, though.

#6 Michigan
"The Wolverines typically play a difficult schedule, and this year is no exception. They start off against a Middle Tennessee squad that isn't a pushover.
Neither is Army, which has been really good over the last three seasons. Then they'll head to Wisconsin, which is (typically) a tough place to leave with a win. The second half of the season is tough. Their final six games are at Penn State, Notre Dame, at Maryland, Michigan State, at Indiana and the season finale against rival Ohio State. The silver lining is their three toughest games in that stretch are all at home. The problem is that Michigan has had a tough time beating any of those teams of late."

#10 Iowa
"The Hawkeyes have one of the more difficult road schedules in the country even though they play just five games away from Kinnick Stadium and none is too far from home. They will travel to Ames to face their rival, Iowa State, in September. As for their Big Ten road games, they will go to Michigan, Northwestern, Wisconsin and Nebraska. October begins with the trip to Ann Arbor to face the Wolverines before both Penn State and Purdue go to Kinnick Stadium. A tough five-game stretch ends with trips to defending Big Ten West division champion Northwestern and Wisconsin. "

Yeah, not many would be surprised if Purdue finished in the Top 25 this season.

Q: How do you know that the toothbrush was invented in Nebraska?
A: Because if it was invented anywhere else, it would have been called the “teethbrush.”

No respect from the writer above when they are talking about how hard Michigan ‘s schedule is. Mentions just about everyone they play, EXCEPT Iowa. Hopefully, their team and coaches overlook our game, too!
