worst of the three so far.
 

Pretty good list. Sure could argue on some but for the most part thought was solid. As mentioned in thread and by frequent South Carolina visitor here pepsicock they have an absolutely brutal schedule this year. 2nd thing is it proves that SEC West followed by Big 10 East are the 2 toughest divisions in college football. Lastly it shows how weak the Big 12 is this year. Highest team is Texas at 20 and think having LSU on the schedule helps them being that high.

Oklahoma is ranked #4 in this poll.

In any event, I agree that the B12 appears weaker overall this year.

Yes Big 12 weak in top 25 with OU and Texas then no one until ISU at 24. But I was making reference to the link to the website of toughest schedules. Either way both list show that the Big 12 is down this year.

My mistake.... and OU at #4 is dubious IMO. Looking forward to the game at Ames.
 
Iowa plays:

at #7 Michigan
#14 Penn State
at #17 Wisconsin
at #24 Iowa State
at #25 Northwestern
at Nebraska (9 votes)
Minnesota (1 vote)

Pretty tough schedule.
Sounds like at least #2 ranking when they run through it, though

Pretty tough schedule.
9 games against teams rated lower than Iowa. You have an odd sense of what's a pretty tough schedule. It's tougher than last year, though, and certainly nothing to be sneezed at.
 
Must be some sort of mistake. I read on this board almost every day about how weak the B1G West is. How could Iowa possibly have the #10 toughest schedule, with another B1G West team at #16, both ahead of any Big 12 team?

And now USA today poll has 4 B1G West teams in Top 26.

Must be some kind of conspiracy.
I really dislike the goophs but I can't believe Minny only got one vote. I had to see if the boat rower was one of them casting votes to see if he was the vote.
 
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.
We just like to rile Nebby fans because there are so many fusker lurkers here as they know 99% of Iowa fans are banned on their pathetic board.
