Close games with two opponents ranked ahead of them and have otherwise taken care of business. Good team but not great. Ranked behind Michigan given their head-to-head result.

After a couple close losses to top teams, Iowa has a break before taking on the stumbling Badgers.

Iowa's defense is likely a top-5 unit. Iowa's offense is definitely not. If this were a complete team, they would be favorites in the West. They haven't given up more than 20 points to an opponent all year, have pitched two shutouts, and are holding opponents to an average of 10 points per game. The only problem is that the Hawkeyes haven't managed the offensive production to take advantage of that.

+2

seems like a traditional B10 game with a shutout and scoring 20, granted against northwestern who isn't great
