Iowa doesn't play a single preseason ranked opponent in their OOC schedule. The closest is Virginia Tech.

Their preseason ranked B1G opponents

#2 MSU - 1x at Iowa City
#15 Minnesota - 2x
#19 Northwestern - 1x at Iowa City (season finale)
#20 Purdue - 1x at Iowa City

5 games against preseason ranked Top 25 on their schedule, 4 of which are at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.

Excited for the season to start. Bama looks good this year, and they have an exciting few games before conference play begins. Some of the bigger games are:

vs Memphis
vs BYU
vs Minnesota
at Arizona
vs Texas

They'll likely play Cincinnati in the Cayman Islands. But yes this is why I expect Iowa to win 23+ this year

Hmm, Badgers slaughtered Missouri already and Kansas barely beat them in the preseason. Very very interesting.

Didn't both Kansas and Wisconsin win by like 8 or so?

I thought Kansas Squeaked by. I'll double check.

Update Kansas beat them by 6 and Badgers won by 8.

Therefore Badgers >> Kansas
