Wisconsin smothering RU

Iowa up pretty big actually at this point. Both Wisconsin and Iowa look better than they have previously. Maybe they'll regress.
Part of the Iowa-Washington score differential is the time zone travel. I said it when NU went out to Seattle. It is a killer. Worse heading west than east. Also, as much as UW is talented I don't think they have been hitting on all cylinders. I still think they are capable of steam rolling people.

We've just got to figure out a way to beat either of Wisconsin or Iowa.
Will be a difficult task since they both played well this past week (and weeks in the case of Wisconsin).
If we can get either of these next 2 + Purdue, we'll be in good shape. I'll take a bowl game even with just 5 wins.
Fortunately for the original 14 teams, our travel won't be as significant as the 4 out west; we might have mostly 1 trip or at most 2 each season while they have 3-4.

Over the coming years, we're going to see a huge gap in team performance on these long 2000-3000 mile road trips. There's just no way to avoid it in a conference this spread out.
