It’s not necessarily something that is openly talked about, but after the Iowa football team’s Outback Bowl win over #18 Mississippi State, Kirk Ferentz opened up a bit about the season and what this win means to him including the possibility of finishing the season ranked.
Our team, certainly happy for them but our seniors, to go out with another good season, finished up with nine wins, four trophies this year and should be a top 20 football team.
When looking at the final regular season College Football Playoff rankings, I honestly find it difficult to see how they could possibly leave the Iowa football team out.
