Note:
All of the above rankings are taken directly from the NCAA except for strength of schedule, which is not ranked by the NCAA and instead taken from S&P+.
The Redzone TD% and Redzone TD% Defense are calculated by me and not ranked by the NCAA. Determining who has the advantage in these categories is strictly my arbitrary judgment.
Quick thoughts:
This feels like the worst matchup, statistically, all season.
Iowa’s strengths are Penn State’s strengths, for the most part - and weaknesses are against the weaknesses.
