Despite lacking national hype, Iowa consistently wins — and with a strong defensive foundation led by Phil Parker, they’re built to compete. The real test comes in a brutal three-week stretch against Michigan, Ohio State, and Washington; winning two of those could set them up for a playoff push. Before that, they face Iowa State in a rivalry game where they’ve been shut out — but the Cyclones have the edge lately. Herbstreit believes if Iowa avoids turnovers and keeps playing smart football, they might finally crack the playoff door.
