Iowa non-conf scheduling

[Legend]

Iowa 1998-2007
Average Rank = 65.8

Analysis: The Hawkeye's better than average %BCS rank comes from playing Iowa State, but having the Cyclones on their schedule hurts them in most other areas. A few games against Nebraska and Kansas State in 1999 & 2000 are the only real difficult ones they've had – other than those, less than challenging BCS & non-BCS teams fill the slate.

Fact: 14 of Iowa's 15 non-BCS foes have been from the MAC.

Fact: Iowa’s road opponents average 6.1 wins per season, while their home opponents average only 4.2.

2008 Outlook: Iowa State as usual, plus I-AA Maine, Florida International, and @ Pittsburgh. A 2-2 start would be hugely disappointing, considering the competition. One of the easiest in 2008.
