Ahead of Michigan

 

[TJHawkeye]

I wouldn't, yet. Too many questions, but I think we end up rated top 15 at the end of the year.

26th

Out of 14 schools? I think they're going to be first division, easily.

 

[EZ2BJZ]

I hate preseason rankings. Absolutely hate them. But I'll play and say somewhere between 15-20.

I would say: ahead of ISU, Neb, MN, WI, NW, IL, MO, and ND. That about covers all of the teams I hate besides OSU, MI, MSU, PSU, AL, TX, USC, OR, & U Miami.

 

[OldTownPepe]

128th. Tied with all the rest of the D1 teams. Besides, for whatever reason, it does seem like Iowa does better without a number on them.

 

[LeroyHawk]

27... ending up at 18

13...Iowa and Michigan both go undefeated until their matchup in November where it's dejavu all over again 1vs 2 with Harbaugh reliving the nightmare from 31 years ago.

Nice! And I could not wish for something more than this. However, there is no way the media would let 2 teams from the B1G be numbers 1 and 2 without one being named " The Urban State University "

[ROCKY MOUNTAIN HAWK]

Agree with 12

 

[Gridiron24]

Iowa-Michigan is going to be a match-up of 9-0 teams. It is destiny.

Not a problem with this line of thinking as I also hate pre-season polls. But, if every team were tied in the rankings, every team would be ranked #1.

I can agree with you there, Pepperman. So, It's Iowa's first pre-season #1 ranking ever - with lots of company.

It moved.

 

[NevadaHawk]

8th With CJ back we should be considered a top 10 team.

[whatsup13579er]

I would say 12-15 range. If the OL was more of a sure thing I would say 8-10.

 

[nu2u]

Defense alone makes Iowa a top 20 team, A couple questions on offense probably puts them around 10-12.

+1

The defense is going to be salty. Really the only questions are will the DE's be able to get enough pressure and will Snyder be able to fill in at FS.

FWIW, I feel pretty good about Snyder. I saw him play in HS and he was a heckuva athlete. I trust PP on this one.

 

[David1979]

I would put Iowa at 15.

 

[J_Heater]

#1 in the state
#1 in the Division
#2 in the conference
#16 to start the year
#10 when its all said and done

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

#1 in the state
#1 in the Division
#2 in the conference
#16 to start the year
#10 when its all said and done

And then #1 after the bowls.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

If it really means we will win all or most of our games, then I say unranked.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

I wouldn't, yet. Too many questions, but I think we end up rated top 15 at the end of the year.

So you're saying there's a chance at #1 since it's within the top 15?.....................

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

27... ending up at 18

Ending up there to start the year, yeah I could see that.

 

[Freyvet]

Would like to not rank because easier to compete as the underdog BUT would like to rank Top 5 because repeated success moves you to the hunted. Let's become the hunted - #4!

 

[SpartanJD]

Expectations high in IC this year as they should be.
