Beathard the starter. Embracing a bold, aggressive style — including a wild fake field goal in their opener — the team surged to a 12-2 record, captured the Big Ten West title, and earned a Rose Bowl berth for the first time in 25 years. Though they fell short of a national title with a heartbreakingly close loss to Michigan State in the Big Ten Championship, their rise from quarterback chaos to top-five national ranking was historic. And in a fascinating “what if,” with a 24-team playoff, Iowa might’ve been a fifth seed with a shot at the title — facing teams like Ole Miss or Oklahoma.
