Iowa football is riding a four game streak of victories and has a legitimate chance to win the remaining games on its schedule, but even with the Hawkeyes playing at a very high level, it’s tough not to dwell on the season that could have been. Northwestern currently leads the Big Ten West at 5-1 even after its shocking loss to a Michigan State team that the Hawkeyes absolutely dismantled 49-7. Yet with Iowa sitting at 4-2 and Northwestern holding the potential tiebreaking win, the Hawkeyes’ chances of capitalizing on Michigan State’s fortuitous upset are fairly low, as Northwestern would need to lose its remaining two games while Iowa wins out for the Wildcats to surrender their grip on the West.
