After getting some rest from their bye week, the Oregon Ducks are set to face a tough challenger in the Iowa Hawkeyes. The Ducks, 7-1, are the No. 6 team in the nation. On the other hand, Iowa is currently unranked, despite its 6-2 record. Many fans have already chalked this up as a win for the Ducks, and that is a big mistake.
The Hawkeyes' two losses are ones worth taking a look at. Their first came in an in-state rivalry game against the Iowa State Cyclones, where they lost 13-16. It was only their second game of the season, which should always be taken into account when evaluating a team's record.
