I'm glad Matt Rhule has this opinion. We need to stop shooting ourselves in the feet as a program and as a conference. If the SEC and everyone else will together play 9 conference games and 1 p5 non con that's great. But they don't and because of that we shouldn't endure the consequences of wanting to do the "right thing"
I'm coming around to the 12 team model.
-more teams make it so best players don't feel as compelled to go to same schools
-regular season games still critical as bye/ home game is so powerful
-players are paid so feel better about extra games
-I actually liked that college football was different than all other sports and really it still is pretty unique.
-other bowl games will continue to be diminished unfortunately
Remember that time we made an alliance with both Pac-12 and ACC then stabbed the Pac-12 by taking USC/UCLA then tried to take ACC teams then finished off the Pac-12 with Oregon and Washington and then made a joint advisory whatever that is with the SEC
Ah yes. The turkey that believes everything that was will continue to be - is in for a rude awaking on thanksgiving.
A bowl game by itself is a huge stepping stone for a team that hasn't been there since 2016 . Getting it in exactly the first six games and by the way getting it while we are currently on a four game losing streak would be unbelievable.
I just can't believe 6-0. I like our chances individually in all of them, but we haven't strung four wins in a row together in the past 5 years. No way 6.
Does Iowa need an OC? I feel like no matter what they are going to have an awesome defense with a horrible offense. They should just get a second defensive coordinator or a punting coach
