Agree. There are going to be maybe a dozen teams at 10-2 at the end.Yeah, Iowa's schedule to this point is ranked ~25-30 by most services I've seen. And the problem is that they don't have a whole lot left on the schedule to boost that, so it will likely gradually drop. Iowa is in an unusual situation, in that they don't have any B1G gimmees on the schedule (No Maryland, Rutgers, MSU or PSU), not even Purdue; and with 6 games remaining they also don't have any powerhouses left.
That's why I'm convinced that for Iowa to make the CFP it has to be 11 wins or bust, despite some of the craziness that went on this weekend. Having a 10-2 record with their marquee win being Mich/Wash/NW/Neb isn't going to do it.
