Iowa has an over-rated head coach. He has not had a season under two losses. As you so correctly pointed out, the loss to Northwestern last year, and their terrible play against Northern Iowa and Arkansas State points out their inconsistancies. Iowa won 4 games by 3 points or less. They will not have that kind of luck this season. They have to replace the right side of the offensive line and two LB's.

Wisconsin returns 10 players on offense. If they can get more out of their passing game, they will be very difficult to beat. Ohio State returns 9 starters on their offense, and gave notice that they are going to let Pryor open up more and throw the ball more. Both of these teams can defeat Iowa.

I agree that Ferentz is overrated. Let me point out another thing about Wisconsin, they played poorly on the road in conference games last season.

@ Minnesota 31-28 W
@ Ohio St 31-13 L
@ Indiana 31-28 W
@ Northwestern 31-33 L

Their road schedule looks more difficult this season than last, will this trend continue for them? I feel like its been a consistent trend under Bilema.
