Even though the Hawkeyes could not complete the comeback win against No. 9 Oregon last Saturday, their College Football Playoff hopes are not completely dead just yet.
Iowa has three losses on the season, all to ranked opponents, their latest coming at home against a tough Oregon Ducks squad, which has one of the best offenses in college football.
In a rainy, windy, hard-fought game at Kinnick Stadium, the Hawkeyes held the lead with under two minutes remaining, but Oregon drove down the field and kicked a game-winning field goal with only a few seconds remaining.
