It's been 93 years since Iowa completed its first perfect regular season. A win over Nebraska on Friday will put that unwanted streak to an end.
The No. 3-ranked Hawkeyes enter Week 13 of the college football season a perfect 11-0. Perhaps more importantly, however, is the team's ranking in the College Football Playoff.

The same cannot be said for Nebraska.
The Cornhuskers (5-6) have suffered through an inconsistent 2015 campaign, but victories over Michigan State and Rutgers in recent weeks helped the team turn a corner. Now, they'll look to play spoiler one more time.

What They're Saying
It already beat Michigan State. If Nebraska beats Iowa today, it's time to consider the possibility it is a Big 12 sleeper cell.

If you had told me at the start of the year that I would plan Black Friday around Iowa-Nebraska rather than Baylor-TCU, I'd have chortled.
