Generally, you don't want to belittle what is your best win to date
I was actually more afraid of BYU -- given what they've been able to do the last few years.

Latest parody video of Tim Allen's Pure Michigan travel commercials... this one is about Jim Harbaugh:


Note that the guy who does these Pure Michigan parodies (John Kerfoot) is a Wayne State grad.

Damn, The Corn have quickly become bottom feeders in the B1G. Tell me again why the conference chose them?

The fans travel well.
To get under Iowa's skin. Nebraska 3 wins, Iowa 1 win. This year, Iowa wins.
Purdue, Northwestern, Minnesota, and Illinois are seeing boosts in ticket sales when Nebraska visits.
When Nebraska visits Iowa, the Nebraska ticket is either the most expensive game ticket or tied with Ohio State, if Iowa plays Ohio State that year as the most expensive game ticket.

But after another three years of this, the fanbase is getting old and the younguns won't know what winning football is, and the fanbase will just be another non-traveling fanbase.

I'm just giving some friendly state to state ribbing. Lord knows Iowa is no powerhouse...even at 6-0.

Nebraska has brought a lot to the B1G and when you think about schools like CU going to the PAC, our conference definitely came out ahead with the addition of the Bugeaters.

CU has no business in the 12 Pac athletically. I'm still surprised they had a decent turnout when Oregon was in town a few weeks ago. I thought a better fit for them would have been the MWC.

If Iowa can somehow,win this Saturday and reverse the NW bugaboo I think we may just go 12-0. I'm scared of this game and at Indiana but Indiana less so than NW. And IF we can get to 12-0 it's a one game season to make the CFP. I c guess my 4-8 prediction preseason wasn't so hot

Iowa struggled enough with Illinois to make me think they'll trip up once or twice in the remaining games.

Eh that's how iowa plays. A 9 pt win for iowa is like a 17 pt win for anyone else. Normally I'd agree but aside f tom NW I really don't see a toss up game. The rest should be iowa wins but we shall see. Anything is possible

The only other threat to Iowa I can see on their schedule is @ Indiana but that is if they get their players healthy. Not sure what the status of those players will be in 3 weeks.

PSU and Michigan hasn't been any better than Wisconsin, Nebraska, or Iowa at the time they made the divisions.

Could argue at the time Wisconsin was more prestigious program than MSU
