It's a more difficult challenge now because the Big Ten has far more say than ever before about which teams go to which bowls at season's end, but here's my best attempt at making Big Ten bowl projections with the 2014 season starting next week.

Here's an Iowa football preview with a twist: Given the expectations surrounding this year's team, I came up a list of 10 common traits in the teams from 2002, 2004 & 2009 and attempted to compare/contrast 2014 to those three seasons.

Posting this link again because 1) it's updated and 2) NFL preseason resumes tonight. 36 now former Hawkeyes currently on rosters, eight of them are on teams playing Thursday night. This includes name, jersey numbers, national TV (if there is any) and local TV affiliates in the state of Iowa for preseason games involving the Chiefs (who play tonight), Bears and Vikings (who both play Friday), and Packers (who play Saturday).

After looking at quarterbacks yesterday, Part Two in our 8-part position breakdown series looks at the Iowa running back situation and more specifically, the four players at the Hawkeyes' disposal for the second fall in a row.

http://hawkeyedrive.com/2014/08/06/2014-iowa-position-breakdowns-running-backs/

Iowa will face Texas on Nov. 20 in the 2K Classic at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The following evening, the Hawkeyes play either Syracuse or Cal.

In Part One of our 8-part Position Breakdown series, we look at how the QB situation at Iowa is currently looking. Rudock remains the starter, but could Beathard be vying for some more PT this fall (a la McCann/Banks in 2001)?

For the third straight summer, Anthony Clemmons wins the Prime Time League championship as his Autowash/Homes squad defeated Culver's/McCurry's (which featured Aaron White and Trey Dickerson), 114-111.
