How high do we jump in the rankings?

Don't be dumb. You expect to jump Florida for losing a tight game to LSU on the road? Name the 5 teams you guys will jump? I know UM, but who else?
Ole Miss, Michigan, A&M, Florida, OK State, Stanford
Should jump: Florida State, TCU, and Baylor, who are ranked highly but haven't beaten anyone
Baylor, TCU and Florida St?!?! Are you still drunk??? You guys haven't played anybody either, you know.
Stanford just beat up on a ranked team and no way you guys jump Florida. You'll jump us and Ole Miss. 15 is what I'm sticking with.
Put down the crack pipe, you have the weakest schedule in football AND you've been lucky. I liked Iowa until I got to know the fans. Jeez
Ohio State, Michigan State, LSU, Alabama, Florida State, Clemson, Utah, Baylor and TCU. All are light years ahead of you talent wise. Dispute THAT!
Michigan State's best win was a lucky break over a team captained by one of our castoffs. How's that for comparing talent?
LSU and Utah have beaten three good teams, MSU, OSU, Clemson, Baylor, and TCU have beaten one good team. FSU has beaten no good teams. Iowa has beaten three good teams. Alabama has beaten good teams, but lost to Ole Miss. If you think rankings should be based solely on recruiting rankings and stars, I think you're missing the point of playing the season.
Something mighty Stanford didn't come close to doing.
Teams change as the season goes on, you know. Otherwise there would be no point in playing past week 1. Stanford is on another level from where they were.
I'm sure he thinks it should be based on all-time wins by the program. Nebraska, Notre Dame, and Michigan fans are so cute like that.
False. We've overcome other team's luck and won. We also don't care if people like you like our team. GTFO
Good to know we can just hit the reset button for any team that loses this season, because those games don't count.
Right now, Iowa doesn't have to apologize for their play in week one or any other week. That's why Iowa should be ranked higher than Stanford in this SEASON'S rankings.
Look we are not in a position YET to say top 5.....but we are really really good....there are going to numerous players on this team that will play on Sundays and say what you want about KF and staff but they have a pulse on this team and have pushed all the right buttons. This is a perfect KF football team, outsiders talking crap all week every week and even on this board about how we can't overcome this or not good enough to do this and as the year goes on it's less and less until people have to other reason other than to tip their cap.....this is the 3rd time he has said F you to his doubters!
I don't think Iowa is one of the five best teams. But it's hard to argue that Iowa should not be in the top five based on who they have played and beaten in comparison to other teams.
Pitt, Wisconsin, Northwestern. Now you go: name a team with three better wins.
Why are you even here? Our teams don't even play this year. Shouldn't you be trolling an MSU board?
We beat #20 ranked teams Wisconsin and Northwestern on the road and defeat ACC Coastal leader Pitt at home.
Shouldn't you football experts be busy chasing your coach out of town? Oh wait, the Hawks are 7-0!! Time to start talking trash again!
Surprised to see you "fans" here after your shameful treatment of your coach and team last year. Leave the message board and try to sellout your stadium for once.
I won't argue "resumes" because Iowa is out of nowhere, which is why they don't belong in the top 5. I will say you're overestimating your wins though. NW is terrible and Pitt? They've played nobody and almost beat you guys.

He said name the better resume. These stats are taken from another thread here. Credit to user mthawkeyes.

Here, I'll let coaches burst your bubble. Try to show up above the 1 loss teams before you think top 5...

A 7-0 record and 13 ranking with 5 weeks to go, sorry to burst you bubble by my bubble feels nice and cozy.....
Michigan was dominated against both Utah and MSU. You were lucky to even have a chance to win it in the end, but you pissed it down your legs. You had no business being in that game against MSU.
Same story with Utah, except that Michigan was never really in the game.
You guys did beat BYU... Who turned out to be extremely overrated.
It's the same story with Michigan everytime they think they field a decent team. Their fans start popping off and they are quickly brought back down to reality.
Hope you somehow get into bigten title bc we would F you up just like we have for the past 5 years....who are your impressive wins this year?
Same story with Hawkeyes fans saying (with a straight face) that they belong in the top 5. Good luck to your team, I'm done arguing with people that refuse logic at every turn.
Burst our bubble? Most people were predicting Iowa to come in #13 or #14 in the first page of this thread. Where we thought the rankings would have us today and where we think Iowa should be placed are two different things. If it was based on who you have played so far, based on the statistics I copied and pasted (that you conveniently have ignored) then Iowa should be ranked higher than #13.
HAHAHAHAHA!!! first, you're on the team? What position do you play? Don't you have to MAKE the title game before this tough guy stance you're making. It's cute when little wanna be football players start spouting off. Thanks for the laugh.
