Wasn’t expecting to see Iowa anywhere near the preseason rankings. All good, just need to play above expectations as usual. This team won’t be challenge for a conference title in 2023-24, but I feel optimistic they can scrap their way to an upper half finish and make the Dance.

I didn't look at conference breakdowns, but only 2 or 3 BIG teams ranked? Ish, but I know that will change as the season goes on.
