That’s the reality of this unexpected 2015 season, a year that began with Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz on the hot seat and might end with a most unlikely College Football Playoff berth.

The Hawkeyes aren’t flashy. They might not be as talented as other teams in the national title conversation. But they play with effort. They play efficiently. They don’t make mistakes, and that’s why they’re 12-0 and one step away from a playoff spot after Friday’s 28-20 win at Nebraska.
