7-5, Badgers are improved. NW looks good. Illinois beat Oregon. Purdue pounded the Gophers. Nebraska can be tough.

With Hank at QB (which is what I think KF will go with) we will lose at least 2 or 3 more. The offense once again is a major crap show. O-line is a mess. Open receivers missed. All you have to do to Iowa is dare us to throw and right now we can't handle that. I feel bad for Lester as he dials up some great stuff but we can't execute.

We could lose every game I’m afraid. As usual the Defense can only do so much. Where do we find the offense?

Things are not usually as bad or as good as they seem. Id be shocked if Iowa loses out.. That's just not their MO. But I dont think they win out, either. 8-4 type stuff as we've seen more often than out, is what I'm thinking.

Both qbs are equally capable of missing wide open receivers, lets not place blame on one vs the other in that regard.

Every single game is winnable. Every single game is losable. Season could come off the rails quickly though if they lose next week.

If Wisconsin can beat Iowa at Kinnick they will win out and probably make the playoffs. Their schedule is very soft

Next week will tell us a lot. If the same team comes out that we saw yesterday, 7-5 is our best hope. I think this squad lacks leadership and that can be dangerous when you're knocked down.

We live in strange times when it's possible for 10-2 Wisconsin team to make the playoff but not a 10-2 Iowa team.

That’s outside noise mainly coming from espn/sec media trying to talk down potential playoff bids from non sec teams. 10-2 will get in, especially with all the losses teams are taking. CBS had Iowa at 60% making the playoffs with 10-2, ucla and Wisconsin absolutely could get in.

If Iowa gets in at 10-2 that means no other big ten or sec team is sitting at 10-2. I find it difficult to believe Iowa’s resume would look good if their best win was beating Wisky at home.

It's gonna depend on what the rest of the B10 West opponents do with their remaining schedules.

Northwestern is currently ahead of us and Wisconsin at #20.

I agree Iowa could lose every game remaining, but I do not think they will. But I expect them to lose 2/3 games remaining.
