## Resource

Iowa football was on fire in 2002, finishing 11-2, sharing the Big Ten title, and heading to the Orange Bowl. With a new QB in 6’7” Nathan Chandler, they started 4-0, including a win over ranked Arizona State. After a tough loss to Michigan State, they pulled off a huge home win against Michigan but fell to Ohio State, ending Big Ten title hopes. Still, they finished 9-3, ranked 13th nationally, and capped the season with a big win over Florida in the Outback Bowl, ending ranked 8th. In a 24-team playoff world, they’d have been contenders — but back then, the BCS only crowned two champs, and 2003 ended with a split title between USC and LSU.
