Well, I don't necessarily disagree, but they do play OSU, Washington and UCLA. We play OSU, USC and UCLA. I do think USC will be tougher than Washington, but Washington will be no slouch, even with a new coach. Iowa also has to play Wisconsin just like we do. They avoid Michigan, PSU, and Oregon. But so do we.
The difference between Iowa and Nebraska, at least over the past 8 years, is that they beat the Marylands, Minnesotas and Purdues of the league while we lose to them. Oh ... and they usually beat us too.
I get your point dingle and Iowa usually does have a softer schedule than we do. But until we start beating those turds and all of the other "lesser teams" we have no room for dogging on Iowa.
Please let this be the year we beat the shit out of them in Lincoln.
