Those are kind of my thoughts on Iowa, their schedule. Iowa's good so, yeah, my fear it most likely unfounded but I can't help but see a path to 8-10 (which is the record that could keep them out.) More or less, it boils down to I got burnt by not making it for so long and by Alford's teams choking. I've also hyped myself up to the point where I think this team can be more than just a tourney team (still could.) Ultimately, a couple more wins against good teams will make me rest easier (I'm sure we'll beat at least OSU at home and they still play Michigan and Wisconsin at home too.) The close losses to good teams are rough, tells me we're pretty good and once again (just like last year) our record doesn't really reflect how good this team could be.
