It seems like each week, the Iowa football team is able to eliminate another exciting possibility from their postseason plans. In the loss to Penn State, Iowa eliminated themselves from the possibility of contending for the College Football Playoff. Last week’s loss to Purdue eliminated Iowa from virtually any chance of winning the Big Ten West, and this weekend’s most recent loss to Northwestern basically ruins any chance of Iowa heading to a potentially nicer bowl like the Citrus Bowl or the Holiday Bowl, which were both very realistic possibilities with a 9-3 finish.
