The Iowa Hawkeyes dropped another closed game to a ranked opponent at home last weekend.
After losing 18-16 to No. 9 Oregon last weekend, the Hawkeyes now have three losses this season, which all but eliminates them from the final College Football Playoff (CFP) bracket.
All three of Iowa's losses have come to ranked teams (then No. 14 Iowa State, No. 11 Indiana, No. 9 Oregon) by a combined 10 points.
Iowa has struggled to find a win against a ranked opponent, losing its last 12 games against ranked teams.
The Hawkeyes have been plagued by uncharacteristic miscues in big games this season, leaving many people who watch the team every week baffled.
