Iowa Hawkeyes Season Prediction, What Will Happen

Iowa will have a winning season and go bowling. While that sounds like underselling one of the steadiest programs in college football, it’s more like giving respect to a flawed team that has a dangerous schedule full of a whole lot of problems.

To keep harping on this, the defense will be great, but it only really works if it’s forcing mistakes. In hindsight, all of those turnovers were a tad inflated.

Of course, if it was so easy everyone would force 31 turnovers, but other than the four against Iowa State, most came against a slew of mediocre-to-bad teams, or in the case of Penn State, there were some extreme circumstances.

Whatever – find a way. That’s what Iowa does.

Set The Iowa Hawkeyes Regular Season Win Total At … 8

Iowa State is hardly a given, and going to Rutgers to start the Big Ten season could be funkier than it seems, but a 4-0 start would be a big deal with what’s coming.

The Hawkeyes catch the awful break of having to go to Ohio State and play Michigan, but the Wolverines come to Iowa City. More importantly, Wisconsin does, too.

There will be at least seven wins, and it’s going to take a collapse to not get there. However, going to Purdue and Minnesota is rough, at Illinois isn’t an easy out, and Nebraska almost certainly won’t be a bowl of pudding in crunch time like it normally is against the Hawkeyes.

Eight wins would be a good year against this slate, but as we’ve all learned from this program, assume that many wins or fewer at your own peril.
