Iowa enters the 2026 season with a favorable schedule that opens against Northern Illinois, Iowa State, and Northern Iowa before a demanding stretch against Michigan, Ohio State, and Washington. The back half features several winnable Big Ten matchups against Minnesota, Wisconsin, Northwestern, Purdue, Illinois, and Nebraska. Kirk Ferentz’s 28th year brings continuity, with the program leaning on an experienced offensive line anchored by All-Americans Trevor Lauck and Kade Pieper, a deep running back room, and defensive coordinator Phil Parker’s unit. The ongoing quarterback competition between Jeremy Hecklinski and Hank Brown remains unresolved heading into Week 1, while transfers such as safety Tyler Brown add depth amid minor camp injuries. Preseason rankings place the Hawkeyes around No. 22 nationally, reflecting expectations of another competitive campaign built on physical line play and defensive execution.

Only official regular-season games count. Conference championship games, bowl games, and College Football Playoff games do not count even if the NCAA recognizes them as such. Only played games resulting in a win will count toward this total.
If the listed team plays fewer games than scheduled due to cancellation, weather, forfeit, or any other reason, only actual wins recorded count toward the total; canceled or unplayed games do not count as wins.
If the 2026 NCAA Division 1 Football regular season is cancelled, postponed after December 26, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, or it cannot be determined how many wins the listed team recorded within that timeframe, this market will resolve to "No".
The primary resolution source will be official NCAA and conference records (https://www.ncaa.com); however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
