#12 Iowa Beats SMU and Awaits Bowl Game Invite
The Hawkeyes took care of business as they beat the SMU Mustangs with ease. The defense helped in the victory as they recorded a NCAA record of 16 sacks in a game! Since the Coaches Polls disrespected Iowa, they took away any chances of making it into the National Championship game even though Iowa went through the season with an unblemished record.
