NCAAF Week 10 Iowa Hawkeyes bowl projection round up
Coming off a strong showing against Northwestern, the Iowa Hawkeyes are sitting at 4-4 on the season and looking to string together a few wins to ensure a postseason trip. With four games to go, the Hawkeyes control their own destiny in not only getting to six wins, but potentially salvaging this season by climbing up to seven or eight and earning a bigger bowl berth.
Playing in the postseason is what a lot of teams set out to do prior to the season. It is an extra game at a fun location, fans can travel to a unique spot, and it allows one more game before the long offseason.
Going into Week 10, it is time to look at a nationwide bowl projection roundup for the Hawkeyes. There is a feeling that Iowa may be settling into a few similar bowl games if things hold as expected for the rest of the season.

Projection: no bowl game
Once again, we see CBS Sports’ Jerry Palm with spilled milk over the Iowa Hawkeyes in a bowl game. Unlike the ESPN prediction, he has the Quick Lane Big Ten bowl berth being awarded to the Michigan State Spartans who have a 3-5 record. Unsure what Palm sees here but to each their own.
