TV Schedule: Friday, January 1, 5:00 p.m. ET ESPN
Stadium: Rose Bowl, Pasadena, Calif.
Line: Stanford (-6.5)
The Stanford Cardinal (11-2) meet up with the Iowa Hawkeyes (12-1) in what should be a terrific football game on New Year’s Day. Both squads may be disappointed they aren’t in the playoff, but that shouldn’t affect the game in a negative way. It has all the potential to be the best non-playoff game of this bowl season.
Obviously, on the Stanford side of the ball, Christian McCaffrey is the player to watch.
