The Iowa Hawkeyes have been idle for over a week now after that miserable loss at home to Indiana last Thursday night. The drought will come to an end on Friday evening as the Hawkeyes travel to Champaign to take on the Illinois Fighting Illini. But, with no games over the last week, there’s been little for bracketologists and prognosticators to add to their equations. Thus, Iowa is largely unchanged in most metrics from a week ago.
However, other teams have not been idle and this time of year every game has some impact on every other team in the country.
