I really don't buy Purdue and Minnesota as tougher games than Wisconsin and Iowa. We've got in our own way against each of those teams, but Iowa and Wisconsin can actually make plays on defense instead of just waiting for us to hand them the game. I think Purdue is going to be much worse than expected this year. I wish Minnesota would be as well, but they have a longer track record of their defense being solid and a more foolproof offense.

I could see Purdue getting a little bump for being a road game.  But that doesn't explain Iowa being that low.

 

It read as a click-getter to me.

Yeah, if history means anything we actually have had one win each against Purdue & Minn under HCSF. No wins against Wis. & Iowa. 2-13 facing those four is downright embarrassing.
