we are used to this but...

it's still irritating.

We have most of our outstanding defense back and a QB that just wins. Still it's better than most years.

I am happy to be in the Top 25. We will be in the Top 15 or Top 10 in others. Peoples last look at Iowa was Stanford and we were god awful.

Top 25 isn't a bad place to start.

The Hawkeyes are the only B1G West team in his Top 25 so he obviously is picking Iowa to head to the championship game again. I like it.

We are used to a preseason top 25 ranking? I'm not, its been a while.

 

[CradleKing26]

I'd put us a few spots higher and I think most polls will. Certainly not upset about us at 18, though.

 

[hexumhawk]

I think we will be around 12 or so when the first polls come out. Good spot for us to hang around and move up hopefully.

Iowa will have a great opportunity this year to crush The Fighting Harbaughs in Iowa City. Lets see how the team and the coaches react to having much higher expectations this year. If they play with the same intensity and mindset as last year, I like Iowas chances.
Yet I don't see why Michigan is at #4, MSU at #13, and Washington are where they are. Also don't see why they give Houston a 10 ranking.
