Not bad, especially regarding the road teams. Let's hope BU and UNI can hold up their end of the bargin!
 
Is Iowa State any good this year?? How can UNI be 7 point favorites? I know the game is @ UNI, but that is surprising.
 
Iowa State might turn out to be good, but they are rebuilding.
Many of their players left or were run off and they are starting from scratch with lots of new players.
Their early schedule is incredibly soft, and even though they are 6-0, wins over UC-Riverside, Louisiana-Monroe, EIU, Norfolk State, Lake Superior State, and Minnesota are not too impressive. 3 of those opponents are either DII or over 300 RPI, and all six are over 150 RPI.



By the way, all the RPI rating services now have the Valley at #4 or #5 in conference strength, and they can move up even more as one of the conferences slightly ahead is the MWC, and they could go down tonight with six of their conference members playing.
