Iowa will drop all the way out of the rankings and barely receive votes after that performance. It will take a miracle, to get back to the top 12 come CFP time.

11 - 1 might not get you there if you don't make 5he B1G championship game because of the early stumbles from the leaders of the conference. The precedent is undefeated FSU, and two undefeated Utah teams, and a double undefeated UCF team.

The Hawkeyes didn't have to win this game, but they couldn't be inept on offense and keep their goals in front of them. Brian Ferentz ball is no longer acceptable in this era of football.

That game didn't help their chances for sure, but it's a bigger problem at 10-2 than it is at 11-1. Iowa gets in at 11-1. 10-2 depends on how they look getting there and how other teams look. 11-1 also seems unattainable unless Iowa gets an adequate running game going. It's been brutal vs P4 opponents.

I've read many of OiT's posts over the years, he's not a clown, he's an Iowa fan. Like many posting yesterday and today he often is a glass half empty fan (or a glass with two drops on the bottom fan).

11-1 will 1000% get them in the playoffs, bud. The offense is way better than with Brian. Not many teams would move the ball well against Ohio St. chill.

They aren't going to be 11-1 the way they moved the ball Saturday, but let's just say they win at Washington and somehow get there, but the offense continues to score < 20 ppg and can't run.

The 1 loss to OSU puts you in tiebreaker possibilities to get into the BTCG alongside Oregon, UCLA, and Indiana. I think it’s possible that out of the group of teams you beat, there's not a single quality win in the group. Say you win the tiebreaker and get boat raced in the BTCG - it doesn't get you in over at-large LSU or Florida.

If they fix the run game, Iowa needs Nebraska or Northwestern or Wisconsin or Minnesota to win out except against Iowa to make the case. That probably isn't happening with Nebraska or NW. The best chance is Minnesota to get a quality win in the back half of the schedule. They have the lightest schedule of that set of teams.

Referring to the FLA team that got boat raced by Mizzou? LOL
LSU isn't safe either. They will lose again this season for sure.
Let the rest of the season play out. Iowa annually plays its best ball late in the season. I expect this season to follow that blueprint

Rollercoaster of being a fan... Now it will be 2 weeks of "we are playoff bound."

And all lot of yelling about the QB position

Yes. We are playoff bound !

Cut to the first punt of the MN game and it’s “our offense is trash!! We are frauds!!!!”

then we win a close game and it’s back to “playoffs!!!!!”

it’s entertaining to read the ups and downs of emotions

Ok, the Washington game was great. Reminded me of the 1995 sun bowl i attended. iowa beat Washington 38-18. Fun bowl. Even with the Washington win, I do not think this team would do too well in playoffs. Just my opinion. They are welcome to prove me wrong. I think playoffs are skewed towards SEC teams and Indiana was a “one and done”.

There are three tiers of teams. Tier one is like Ohio st and sec teams. Tier two is where Iowa is all the time. A New Year’s Day bowl. Tier three is Oklahoma st and Colorado and BYU. I did not invent the system, I just gotta live with it.
