Iowa is Mandel's "Upset Special"

5

At least someone has some confidence in Iowa. Mandel has Iowa beating Michigan 27-24. "No. 13 Michigan (7-1) at Iowa (5-3) UPSET SPECIAL: Coming off a humiliating loss to Minnesota, it's clear the Hawkeyes are a far cry from their 11-2 Orange Bowl team of two years ago. The Wolverines -- who went 5-7 that year -- are notably improved, particularly on defense. But here's guessing the Hawkeyes have one last mini-upset in them. This would be very Ferentz-esque on the heels of the Minnesota loss."
