Get well, Jack.
Jack Campbell was hurt making a tackle for the Lions on Nov. 1 and taken to the hospital with a neck injury. The team says the early signs are positive. Before Detroit he was Cedar Falls' own: a unanimous All-American and the 2022 Butkus Award winner as the nation's best linebacker.

How we pick
Big help: a team ranked ahead of Iowa, outside the top 8, loses. Those are the bubble teams the Hawkeyes have to pass.
Helps: a top 8 team that already has two losses drops another, or a team ranked just behind Iowa loses before it can jump them.
Small help: teams Iowa beat keep winning (that win looks better), teams Iowa still plays keep winning (that win will count more), and teams that beat Iowa keep winning (that loss looks better).
Teams already safely in the field don't count either way. Rankings are the latest College Football Playoff committee rankings, or the AP poll in a week the committee has not released new ones yet.
Hawkeye legends
