The Iowa Hawkeyes ended their 2023 season with a tense, frustrating, joyous victory over Nebraska on Black Friday. Those words encapsulate this entire season for Iowa as wins all too often felt more difficult than they needed to be. Still, a win is a win, as they say, and wins are what matter most in the end. What this win didn’t do, however, was impress anyone on the College Football Playoff committee who released their penultimate rankings last night.
