In the AP Poll, only 3 Big Ten teams are present:
#3 Purdue, #12 MIch. St., #15 Ohio St.

Fortunately, Iowa only plays Mich.St and Ohio St.
once. There is not going to be any pushovers for
the Hawkeyes in Big Ten games. Coach Fran needs
to make some changes in the current starting
lineup. Kris Murray and Perkins need more minutes.

Why is this fortunate? Never understood why people always want such an easy schedule.... If a team wants to ascend, you have to be able to beat some of the best. That's hard to do if you don't play them. Of course, I guess it worked out for the football team so what do I know...

Maybe beating the best once is enough. LOL
