The only way would be if an exhaust valve was open and the water was high enough. It would need to be nearly as high as the hood on the vehicle. It is unlikely but possible.

It could get through the intake (through air filter)

If oil seals are bad and the engine was submerged for an extended period, water can seep in through them.
