Three games into the 2022 season, Iowa’s standing in the Big Ten West hierarchy is even more muddled than before the year began. While the Hawkeyes appear to have assembled yet another championship-caliber defense, the offense remains very much work in progress even after showing its first signs of life in last week’s 27-0 victory over Nevada. Still, a team’s fortunes are determined as much by the quality of their competition as their own skill level. Wisconsin was the preseason betting favorite to win the division but looked underwhelming in its week 2 loss to Washington State and is not on the level of many of the Badger teams that have gotten the best of the Hawkeyes in recent years.
