    Iowa and Iowa State dominated Week 3, and now the real test begins with Big Ten and Big 12 play on the horizon. Chris Williams and Chris Hassel break down Iowa’s destruction of Northern Iowa and Iowa State’s blowout of Bowling Green before looking ahead to two massive conference openers: Iowa at Michigan and Utah at Iowa State. The guys revisit their preseason predictions and adjust their projected records for both teams. They discuss whether Iowa can navigate its schedule and reach 10 wins, why Michigan remains such a difficult matchup, and why Washington looks increasingly winnable for the Hawkeyes. For Iowa State, the conversation centers on Jaylen Raynor and whether the Cyclones can win enough games if the passing game doesn't improve. Chris and Chris debate Raynor’s accuracy, Connor Moberly’s potential, Jimmy Rogers’ comments, and what the quarterback situation could look like against Utah and throughout Big 12 play. Plus, the guys discuss Iowa State’s attendance concerns, the impact of NIL and the transfer portal on programs like Northern Iowa, the changing gap between Group of Five and power-conference teams, West Virginia’s huge win over Virginia, Colorado’s shocking loss to Northwestern, Ole Miss beating Lane Kiffin, and more from a wild Week 3.
