The College Football Playoff has been around for five seasons, and while the four team playoff was a good start, people are strongly calling for an eight team playoff after what went down this year with a 12-1 Ohio State Buckeye program and a 10-2 Georgia Bulldog program being left out. Having an eight team playoff would have no real impact on the Iowa football team this year, but in past years it would have been huge for the validity and national notoriety of the program. That being said, I am all for it, and here is why.
As it stands today, the Iowa football team basically needs to be perfect in order to reach the College Football Playoff.
