Iowa Football Recruiting

The problem is they need to play every other year so both ISU and Iowa can schedule another P5 school. It’s hard for either team to play 11 P5 games.
Ha no but I think they will explore a 10 game conference schedule.
I find it funny that every time any Iowa fan is asked about that, they say he probably has 5 years left. They all know it’s not true, but they are trying like hell to avoid recruiting going to crap at the end like it did for ORF. They’re going to squeeze every last drop out of grandpa before he hands it over to junior.
I think the only way they go to a 10 game schedule is with 20 teams. Just spitballing, but let’s say the B1G adds Stanford, Washington, and Oregon, along with the fainting Irish. ND would be in a conference with Michigan, Michigan State, Stanford, USC, and Purdue. That’s a pretty good spread,of their traditional rivals. Who wouldn’t the play? Navy? Are there more traditional rivals? They wouldn’t play every team every year but it would be closer than any other conference.
in addition, they would occasionally get to play Iowa. Big selling point there.
Pitt and BC have been a couple frequent rivals. So they could play 10 conference, then Navy and alternate Pitt and BC? Seems stale.
Also, seeings how often they play Iowa, that may be a bigger deterrent than attraction
Why not Pitt? Google that rivalry and you will see that have played them like around 15 times this century.
Because I want Notre Dame in the B1G and will slant my information towards that bias. I didn’t say I was being fair and objective.
A lot of teams behind both schools that have higher average player rankings that have fewer recruits. So those teams will probably leapfrog both schools by the early signing period.
Iowa State has several players that could eventually see significant bumps too.
I'm sure all schools will get some players that go up and some that go down. I think this late in the game, most of the movement will be minimal.
