Iowa football odds took a hit after the Week 5 loss to Ohio State. But with a relatively easy schedule left in front of it, the postseason hopes are far from dead in Iowa City.

Iowa College Football Playoff Prediction
I am predicting Iowa will make the 2026 College Football Playoff.
The first half of the college football season has revealed the Big Ten doesn’t have quite as many surefire national contenders as we all collectively thought in the preseason. Oregon and Indiana look mortal, while Penn State and Michigan have both taken multiple losses already.
That should open up the playoff doors for a team like Iowa, which has a navigable set of remaining games in this world of unbalanced schedules.
Iowa can get to 10 or 11 wins and find itself in the final 12.
