Tonight the Iowa Hawkeyes from the Big 10 conference face the Oklahoma Sooners from the Big 12 conference in the Insight Bowl tonight.

This season the Iowa Hawkeyes are 7-5 and the NCAA FBS production model's measure of their strength of schedule (SOS) was equal to 72.92. Iowa's best win was against currently ranked #14 Michigan, and their worst loss was against currently ranked #101 Minnesota. To date, the Hawkeyes are the #54 ranked team overall, with the #42 ranked offense and the #49 ranked defense.

The Oklahoma Sooners are 9-3 with a strength of schedule equal to 54.42. Oklahoma's best win was against currently ranked #9 Florida State, and their worst loss was against currently ranked #100 Texas Tech.
