By moving to 9-2 with a 15-13 win over the Illinois Fighting Illini, the Iowa Hawkeyes clinched the Big Ten West and are going to Indianapolis for the Big Ten title game. Iowa has earned itself two extra games this year with the conference championship and a bowl game that they became eligible for long ago.
The Hawkeyes have three more chances to hit the double-digit win mark this year. First up is a date in Lincoln against the Nebraska Cornhuskers on the Friday after Thanksgiving.
After that, Iowa will have a chance to knock off either Ohio State or Michigan for an outright Big Ten Title followed by the final chance in a bowl game.
Who they are going to meet remains uncertain, although one team is starting to appear on a collision course with the Hawkeyes in one certain bowl. Check out the bowl projections for the Iowa Hawkeyes from around the country following their Week 12 win.
