2. Iowa (Nov 25)

Historically, the Nebraska football team has dominated this series, going 29-14. Since NU joined the Big Ten they are just 3-2 against the Hawkeyes. Now that the game is the last regular-season game of the year this game is even more important.

Last year, Nebraska played a pretty terrible game and still only lost to a then-undefeated Iowa team 28-20. The Huskers could be putting a heck of an exclamation point on the season if they are able to topple the Hawkeyes.

If Nebraska can’t beat Iowa, it could mean yet another disappointing finish to the season.
