Iowa to the College Football Playoff? Avert your eyes — but it’s possible

New York Times  

The Athletic has live coverage of the College Football Playoff rankings release show. This week: David makes the case that Iowa — yes, the offensively inept Hawkeyes — could be one upset away from crashing the College Football Playoff. The Hawkeyes have been a consistent punchline for college football fans since embattled, beleaguered, lambasted and railed-upon offensive coordinator Brian Ferentz’s contract was amended in February. Consider the consternation surrounding Iowa at the moment when the Hawkeyes are cruising toward a double-digit win season yet might be one 60-minute miracle away from stating a strong case for inclusion in the College Football Playoff’s four-team field. Iowa football has become a joyless enterprise, which is unfair to the players in a program positioned to be one game away from the College Football Playoff.
