Who are the Nebraska vs Iowa announcers today on CBS/Paramount+? All about CFB Week 13 game's coverage team
The 17th-ranked Nebraska Hawkeyes will face the unranked Iowa Cornhuskers in a Week 13 clash on Friday. Iowa is inching closer to a seat in the College Football Playoff, while Nebraska is on the outside looking in but not without hopes of Bowl eligibility.
Iowa has had a far better regular season at 9-2, but just like a lot of teams that have been ranked, their seat in the CFP is still unsure. They still need a few more results to go their way, including a win to close out their regular season. Nebraska stands in its way, hungry for a win to ensure its spot in a bowl game.
Matt Rhule's record as first-year coach for the Cornhuskers might not scream out of the page. However, he has done well, all things considered, as Nebraska could still clinch a bowl berth if it wins the Black Friday game.
This is the first time they're on the brink of a bowl berth since 2016. It has been a long wait for Cornhuskers fans.

What time is the Nebraska vs Iowa game today?
The Nebraska vs Iowa college football game is scheduled for 12 p.m. ET.
What to expect in the Nebraska vs Iowa game?
Nebraska's record completely hides the fact that it's one of the best defensive teams in the Big Ten.
The team is inside the top 10 in opponent rush play percentage, yards per rush and rush yards per game. This means Iowa will need to rely on its air attack more and look to avoid the ground game against the Cornhuskers.
Iowa's defense is also pretty good. Coach Kirk Ferentz has steered his squad to the third-best in opponent PPG and points-per-play, as well as second in opponent yards/play.
Overall, the Nebraska-Iowa game seems to be destined to be a slow, methodical, defensive battle that won't be bannered by sky-high box scores.
