realistic expectations

[hoopsalot25]

After watching both semifinal playoff games, and the championship game, is it realistic to expect that Iowa will ever be in the top 4 of the playoff?

- Speed
- Power
- Coaching (schemes, first half adjustments, & second half adjustments)
- Athleticism
- Offenses that score 35+ per game
- Defenses that shut down their opponent

So what is Iowa Football playing for from this point forward? My answer to that is 8 regular season wins + a bowl game. Any wins above that is gravy for the program. Winning a division title is gravy. It also looks like the B1G East will be the strongest division for awhile...so winning a B1G championship will be a hurdle.

8-4 and (maybe) the Citrus Bowl invite annually?????

That's all Iowa will play for in 19 of 20 seasons. We're Iowa and magical seasons don't come around that often which is why we don't pay a coach 4.25 mil/per...oh wait..

No, I'm beginning to think Iowa will never win a national championship in either football or basketball in my lifetime. Iowa would have lost to OSU by 40+ this season had they played.

Clem, I agree with you. Urban Meyer wins a national championship with his 3rd string QB. KF has issues with getting one QB to perform at a high level........

Or more. We took beatings like that from Minny and Tenny.
