Where do we win?

You know KF will pull some big upset. Always happens when heat is on him. Then the fans are back saying how great he is and we have to sit through his crying.
Love a good in game over reaction thread. If you see less than 7 wins there then you need to take step back from the edge.
Bitches abound. Just like every year.
Who are we beating with the product you saw today? This was an 0-2 Troy team with their second and then third team QB.
So...who are the other 5 wins?
I'll bet you a grand that Iowa wins 8 games or more this season. Bet?
Minnesota, Michigan St., UCLA, Maryland, NW.
I could see Washington, Nebraska, and Whisky going either way but am leaning towards losing to 2 or 3 in this category.
It varies but we're not going to get killed in more than 1-2 games which means we'll be in each game, like last year. The schedule is similar to the last three seasons. If it was more difficult, yeah, it'd be harder to find wins.

Have you watched the other teams on our schedule?
Ohio St is a for sure loss
Nebraska is the next most likely loss.
Other than that I'm guessing Iowa will be favored in every other game left on the schedule.
This. Wisconsin is atrocious. MSU? Yeah, ok. Northwestern?? Come on. Iowa will win 8 games or more. And frankly, Nebraska outside of the first qtr and a half against Colorado was very meh.
Iowa will likely win 6-7 games this season and probably whatever toilet bowl they end up in.
I was feeling a little bullish, then realized I only see 3 wins and 1 tossup the rest of the way. Damn.
Other than osu, there isn't anyone on that schedule that we can't beat.
Do they run the hell out of the ball, win the turnover battle, and not allow special teams points? If they run the hell out of the ball, win the turnover battle, and win on special teams they got a shot in all but one. Problem is if they get down in any of these games by two scores they are toast.
Phil is gonna whip the defense back into form. I don't expect to keep seeing them get burnt like that.
The Minnesota game next week will tell us a lot about how this season will likely go.
Right now, I see that game as 50/50.
Iowa is one of those weird teams in college football where they can beat almost anyone in the conference and lose to almost anyone in the conference.
My guess is 7-5 this year unless the OL magically finds another level. Maybe getting a taste of success in the running game in that 4th quarter will help build their confidence. We’ll see.
I personally see four more wins that I consider, without a doubt, for the season overall. We will win at least four more no question. It's murkier after that to me. Obviously, I hope we do much better than that. This schedule really isn't much to worry about frankly. It's not that difficult but we'll just have to eek out some wins and it won't be great to watch often.
😂 You’re salty. I’m not complaining. Just responding to a question. Our offense will see better defenses, and our defense will see better offenses.
Of course, I hope I’m wrong. I’m a fan. I’m not a homer.
It's definitely not unwinnable but I do think Nebraska has the best chance of scoring 20+ points on us. So that makes them the second most difficult team left on the schedule in my opinion
I marked down:
Minnesota
Michigan State
Northwestern
Maryland
I was tempted to mark down MSU as a loss and Nebraska as a win, those are my tossups. Then again, I haven't followed Washington and UCLA enough so far. They look vulnerable so if we don't go at least 1-1 in those games it'll be a disappointment, IMO.
We very well could. From the ones I put down as likely wins, Minnesota is probably the one I perseverated on the most honestly.
I do love the crowd that comes out and says Iowa won't win a game the rest of the year. You get the same group in the basketball forums. Then the team plays to its usual standard, more or less. The basketball team usually gets to at least .500 or better in conference and the football team wins 8+ games.
There are always the doomsdayers whenever the team isn't playing well.

I think most of us are still pretty realistic but yeah, I get what you're saying.
Probably. Unfortunately, outside of Northwestern and maybe Minnesota, I'm not sure we're clearly better than any team on the remaining schedule. Could see us win or lose a squeaker to MSU just as easily as I could see a squeaker win or substantial loss to Nebraska.
