Pat McAfee ‘Buys Stock’ in Iowa Hawkeyes’ Playoff Aspirations Following Ohio State Clash
Sports analyst Pat McAfee expressed strong confidence in the No. 14 Iowa Hawkeyes’ College Football Playoff potential, particularly if they could defeat the No. 5 Ohio State Buckeyes.
McAfee pointed to a favorable remaining schedule, including matchups against Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Nebraska, as a clear path for Iowa to “run it up” and contend for a playoff spot after a potential upset.
Despite ultimately predicting an Ohio State victory, McAfee’s belief in Coach Kirk Ferentz’s team, which has already beaten Iowa State and Michigan, underscores their solid standing for the latter half of the season.
