IOWA CITY, Iowa — This is about Iowa football and…Hello? Are you still there?
I know: Iowa is boring. Let's face it. It's the country's heartland and possibly even its backbone, but the image of the place is of big fields of food…growing…very…slow…ly.On the drive to Iowa's game Saturday against Minnesota, I came to a sign for the Silos and Smokestacks National Heritage Area.I drove on.
Iowa's football is the same as its reputation. It doesn't seem to wow a lot of people. And that's becoming a strange problem for the College Football Playoff Selection Committee, which was heavily criticized last week for ranking Iowa No.
