I mostly agree with C.C. on this one. Next year Iowa does not have to play tOSU or Michigan State, and they get Michigan, Nebraska, Northwestern, and Wisconsin, (Even Iowa State) at home. Their toughest road game is likely at Penn State. The schedule actually sets up well for them again if they can keep winning.

Iowa has no hand in picking their conference schedule. None.

Iowa is essentially mandated to play Iowa State. Many fans would be fine dropping the game to get other Power Fives, but then people would bitch about Iowabeing afraid to play little bro -- it is ISUs biggest fundraiser. Many seem to forget this a Big 12 school when lambasting Iowa's schedule.

That said, Iowa played more power five teams than any SEC school this season.
