What if I told you that Iowa — Iowa! — is in the driver’s seat for the Big Ten West crown and is very much still alive in the College Football Playoff race?
Halfway through the season, the Hawkeyes, with one of the worst offenses in the country, are 6-1 and in control of their season after beating Wisconsin by a score of 15-6. Sure, they need to average about 30 points a game the rest of the season for offensive coordinator Brian Ferentz to keep his job, but why let something so trivial bog things down?
