ISU may want to put that on a banner and hang it. Preseason # 60!

 

[Franisdaman]

Texas A&M must have improved in the offseason?

Biggest movers from the conclusion of 2022 to the start of 2023:​

• No. 23 Texas A&M (+47): Last season's 5-7 showing was an aberration compared to how most teams finish with a roster as talented as that of Texas A&M. This adjustment recognizes that talent will likely deliver more wins than a year ago and notes what could be a positive spark for the offense in the hire of Bobby Petrino as offensive coordinator.

• No. 19 Wisconsin (+35): Last year's Wisconsin team, under the guidance of interim coach Jim Leonhard for the latter stages of the season, was not in a state of disrepair. The Badgers were a bowl team, and now, that group will be led by one of the sport's most well-respected coaches in Luke Fickell. The expectation is that Fickell will have Wisconsin once again competing for the Big Ten West title and a shot at the conference championship.

• No. 25 Iowa (+21): The Hawkeyes neither had a notable assistant shake up like Texas A&M nor an outright coaching change like Wisconsin, but Iowa did do some work in the transfer portal to bring in quarterback Cade McNamara, and there's a contractual call for the offense to score more points. I suppose that's worth raising the floor of a team that has performed consistently at a top-40 level in recent years.

 

[pistachio1999]

I thought A&M lost a bunch in portal.

 

[Max_Rebo]

7* of the top 10 from the B1G. Not too bad.

(*-If you want to believe the rumors. )

 

[pistachio1999]

No Oklahoma??? I know they sucked sort of last year, but I would take them to rebound over A&M.

 

[kceasthawk]

ISU may want to put that on a banner and hang it. Preseason # 60!

Hardly. Two years ago when we played them they were ranked 10th or 11th I believe, right next to Indiana. Fools gold to be sure, BUT it did allow us to set up that 3 vs 4 matchup with PSU, and led to Iowa being ranked #2 after that game. I know, it all went to shit after that, which is of course is what all these pre mid Oct rankings are worth...

But damn if that wasn't a fun beginning to a season.

My Gawd we ate their lunch, drank their beer and stole their women that Saturday.

 

[Packer54]

(*-If you want to believe the rumors. )

I was surprised to see 5 from the PAC. Basically Oregon State.

 

[Sett1997]

Noticed that too. Also, high hopes for Texas. Lol
BAU.

 

[Chucksizzle1]

I think we beat several of those teams #14 on down, Clemson is usually terribly overrated also.

 

[2D_]

I'd almost prefer we aren't ranked; we play better when we're underdogs and when no one pays attention to us.

 

[Obviously Oblivious]

So if the B10 conference rumors are true then there are 7 of them in the CBS top 10.

 

[mthawkeyes]

I'm pretty skeptical about Maryland at #33. They can be counted on to commit turnovers and play terrible defense as surely as the Sun rises in the east.

 

[Johnsoda123]

I'd almost prefer we aren't ranked; we play better when we're underdogs and when no one pays attention to us.

#25 is perfect for this team.

 

[NevadaHawk]

What! Nebraska is not in the top 25?

With the amount of money Iowa brings in, the amount the staff costs, the facilities, we should be closer to a top-25 level team year-in, year-out.

Curious that Wisconsin went 7-6, has a new coach and they're at 19

 

[ND Heaven68]

I think both Alabama and OSU go into this season with a chip on their shoulder and both have stacked rosters. My call ---- they'll be playing in the NC game and if, a BIG IF, OSU can field a decent defense - for a change - they'll win it

 

[ItsinourDNA]

There is a Texas AM conspiracy to try to make them look as good as possible in the absence of any on the field merit.

 

[not_mantiteo]

Curious that Wisconsin went 7-6, has a new coach and they're at 19

People are insanely high on Wisconsin despite all of the changes and the uncertainty of a year 1 coach.

 

[HawkMachine]

If we don't finish higher than #25 it's going to be an extremely disappointing year.

With that being said, I'm pretty confident we will.

Top 15 here we come!

Just no significant injuries to key players.

 

[trippnschmidt]

We are.

 

[obfuscating]

We are.

You didn't read the article...

 

[LaQuintaHawkeye]

You didn't read the article...

One dude's opinion does not a fact make.

Iowa has clearly performed around the T25 level in recent years ...but technically he's correct in that we also fall in the T40.

So Iowa State is # 60 or worse in this also.

Joel Klatt has us at #22 and in the B1G Title game.

I will get a better feel when I see the BTN show when they stop at our practice. Will listen closely to what Dinardo says for commentary. You go back and re-watch last year's show and it really should have forewarned everyone based on what he said.

Agree regarding Dinardo.

 

[Bishop1971]

OSU and Alabama are breaking in new qb's so might struggle in some bigger games

Klatt has had some really bad takes, cant stand listening to that guy

 

[HawkMachine]

BAU for them.

Those big teams have true freshman come in and play better than Iowa 5th year seniors.

 

[kmurp]

So Iowa would be ranked pretty far down amongst teams in the new Bigten.
