Preseason top 5?

Who does Iowa lose?

Canzerri
Blythe
Possibly King?

I'm sure there's more but there are a ton of guys who aren't even juniors that were playing a lot on this team.

The schedule doesn't look too tough either.

add Walsh, Tevaun Smith, Krieger Coble, Fisher, Lomax, Meier, and both kickers. And Ott who we have not played with most of the season anyway.

If Ott received a 5th year and King came back yes, otherwise maybe around 15.

Ok, that's significant, but I think that's not irreplaceable though. The core is still there.

I think it ends up being preseason top 10 but that being said I think we all learned how much luck goes into getting this far.. Could win the west but it's CFB I would guess 9-3 ish!

What were we ranked preseason in 2010? It seems like high preseason rankings for Iowa are so rare. I think in 2005 we were maybe top 15?

We should be very strong along both lines, linebackers even better than this year, decent defensive backfield.

Should be great at quarterback, running back, Kittle is a stud....decent to pretty good at receiver.

Major concern is punter and kicking.

 

[perryhawk]

Hopefully we have some decent guys for punter and kicking? Anyone know?

If we win our bowl game will be ranked in the Top 10 preseason next year. If not we will be something like #20-25
