No. 5 Iowa Hawkeyes
Record: 10-0
Current Playoff Ranking: 5th
What the Committee Likes: The committee surprised many people by moving Iowa up all the way to fifth in their most recent rankings. The Hawkeyes got a narrow victory over Minnesota this past Saturday. The 5th spot seems to be Iowa's ceiling unless they can find a way to win the Big Ten Championship in a few weeks.
Areas of Concern: For Iowa, it is all about their schedule. They have managed to avoid the top Big Ten teams in the regular season. They will need to win the Big Ten to have any shot at making the playoff. (Getty)
