Who will win the Big 10 in 2018?

Breaking Down Nebraska's Scott Frost vs. Iowa's Kirk Ferentz

Holy shit.
Ferentz gets a $500K raise for every 8 win season. I did not know that.
That’s some seriously funny stuff right there.

Ferentz is content and stale. I don't have false illusions of this team under KF. I don't think I will ever see Iowa get to the next level, but they're my team and I look forward to the season every year.

Let’s pretend Iowa won’t go 8-5. Will things be better or worse?

They should finish with more than 8 wins.

OOC should be 3-0
Cross divisions are @ Penn State, Maryland, Indiana 2-1
Losses at home against Wisconsin and NW

ISU is no given.

I'd quicker call NW a win than ISU. In fact, I'd guess ISU is favored.

There is a zero percent chance ISU is favored in that game, from now until the week of the game.

What's with all the TCU love? I know it is being played in Arlington but they lost a lot last year and they aren't the type that can just reload.

Hell, they might even struggle with SMU the week before tOSU.

TCU lost a bunch of players. Plus, how is Robinson going to handle being the starter? Think he's got talent, but this first year may be rough.

How do you figure?

Iowa projects to be better and they are at home.

They do?

 

[ericd7633]

They do?

I would certainly be surprised if ISU finished with a better record than Iowa next season. Even if you think they are equal, Iowa is still favored because they are playing the game at home. Even if Iowa lost to Northern Illinois in week 1, I still think they'd be favored.

But is Iowa better?

I don't know, I would guess Iowa. You said ISU was going to be favored. I said there is a zero percent chance of that happening. Which I'll stand by.

They already released an early line about a month ago which was Iowa -7. Like I said earlier there is almost nothing that can be done for ISU to be favored the week leading up to the game.

Iowa St is 4-5 at Iowa since 2000.

And they're 4-5 when hosting Iowa since 2001.

If nothing else...this is a true rivalry. Iowa State gets geared for
the Hawkeyes. Plus they always play them early in the season.

This rivalry, since the turn of the century, has really lived up to the
adage of rivalries that..."you throw away the record book."

This is usually a very competitive game.

Iowa State is going to kick Iowa's shit in.

I think it will be a good game, it almost always is. I was just referencing the part about ISU not be favored, and there being basically a zero percent chance they will be.

Ferentz is 10-9 vs Iowa State.
He is above .500 for the first time with last years win.

Wrap your heads around that.

Wrap your heads around that.

He’s also the longest tenured head coach in college football or the NFL.

 

[outofyourmind]

He’s also the longest tenured head coach in college football.

Any other coach in America who lost to Iowa State 9 times wouldn't have a job.

Go figure.
