Which game do you think Iowa will lose?
Probably Penn State or Michigan. But mainly the probability of 2 undefeated regular seasons in a row is too astronomical to consider.
1 undefeated team in our lifetime and suddenly that's the bar now. This place is going to be fun this fall.
Last year, on the BigTenNetwork, just before the season Kicked off, Gerry Dinardo and H Griffin BOTH picked the Cornholers...........and they weren't even a .500 team. LOL

We beat wiscy last year on the road. They lost their DC & best player on each side of the ball....what makes you think we'll lose this year?
With what Iowa has returning from championship team last year i don't think anybody could argue that the Hawkeyes are the favorites to win the west. Whether they do or not is another story, so much can happen from now until November. The schedule improves but still avoid OSU and MSU. Michigan, Nebby, Wisconsin, and NW are home games. PSu and minny on the road both tough games. NDSu knows how to win ball games and I will not take ISU game for granted...they have a few playmakers...
I never said we would lose to them...I don't know where you're getting that. I think we lose to Minnesota, Michigan and either Illinois or penn state to go 9-3.
NW has tOSU and MSU. Illinois has Michigan and MSU and Wisconsin has MSU, tOSU and Michigan. For those reasons and what we have returning, I would definitely put us as the favorites, but it may come down to the Iowa/NU game. I assume the head to head game is the tie breaker, so even if we are a game ahead of them going in, we will need to win it.
Illinois was down 6 on their potential game winning drive when their rb fumbled. They could have won that game. Minnesota played us very closely also. You can win lose against an inferior team and not go 6-6. We lost to ISU as our only loss in 02 as an example.
