Iowa And The CFP

[Hawkeye News]

How many wins do they need to get into the CFP?

Iowa Continues Search for CFP Appearance

If there was ever a time for the Iowa Hawkeyes to be in consideration for the College Football Playoffs, it's now. They would love to get back their Week 2 loss

They'd have to beat either Penn State or Oregon, run the rest of the table, and have 2 out of the 4 blue bloods shit the bed...and even then it's sketchy at best with the ISU loss.

Someone needs to explain to me out of Oregon, Ohio State, Michigan, and Penn State how the 3 Big Ten teams that make the CFP aren't one of those four schools. This whole question starts with that right there.

Read the bio of the kid who wrote that article if you're wondering how much the author knows Iowa or college football as a whole.

This. The only path is 10-2. It actually probably doesn't have to be a loss to Oregon or Penn State, because if it is to someone else, that means you beat both of those teams. So, it could be USC on the road. The point is, if they are 10-2, the two losses are to ranked teams, and you have at least 1 Top 10 victory and probably another Top 25. That is a much better resume than Indiana had last year. 10-2 gets us in. Very unlikely to happen.

I’m all for hypotheticals. Won’t complain if it happens that’s for sure.

There is no way the Hawks are making the playoffs this season. Too many questions on defense with the teams we have yet to play. If we were in the Big 12, we'd have a way better shot as that conference is terrible. When ISU or Texas Tech are your best programs, you suck.
