Iowa football is projected for another nine-win season in 2026, with easy non-conference wins and big road victories against Washington and Michigan, showcasing their tough, physical style. They’re also expected to dominate key Big Ten matchups against Wisconsin, Northwestern, Purdue, and Nebraska. But don’t count on perfection—models predict losses to Ohio State at home and road games against Minnesota and Illinois, where their offense struggles. Still, in the new 18-team Big Ten, nine wins locks them into the upper-middle tier and a solid bowl bid, proving Iowa’s grind-it-out football remains a reliable force in a chaotic college football landscape.
