Iowa takes second in Tier 4, with 4 P5 wins, 1 G5 win, and 1 FCS win as well as 1 ranked P5 loss away to be 6-1.
It's honestly hilarious at this point how good this defense is, and how terrible the offense.
They take precedence over USC due to their loss being to a ranked team, and over Utah due to having played one more game, over G5 competition.

This team is infuriating to watch

Iowa is weird. Their defense is very good, and they may end up 11-1. I think the Big ten west is awful. When they played Penn State, they got stomped. They're lucky to not play Michigan or Ohio State this year. I just dont believe they'd win against many actually good teams because i dont know that they can score. Best win is probably Wisconsin (4-2).

I feel nasty and absolutely disgusted giving Iowa a rank. They are in the driver's seat to win the Big Ten West. Gross. Ew.

NEW | I hate putting them in, but I also think they'd beat Clemson and UCLA?

1 SP+ T-25 win (Wisconsin). 1 SP+ T-10 loss (Penn State). Is Iowa seriously doing this again?

Beat a 4-2 Wisconsin without an offense. How?

If USC can be #18 with no defense, Iowa can be #19 with no offense. It's only fair.

NEW, I don’t have any trust in Iowa, I feel like they are absolute crap, but they did get a 15-6 win against a good Wisconsin team, and Iowa State is looking better as the season progresses. Iowa’s defense is elite, and that is the only reason they aren’t like 1-6, there is a nonzero chance that Iowa goes 12-2 and ends up firing Brian Ferentz, and I am very interested in that reality.

Tough defense and great special teams are going to carry an awful Offense. Iowa should be 11-1 by the end of the season.

have you spoken to your family about 11-1 Iowa?? Kings of the B10 West in it's swan song....wouldn't have it any other way.

an affront to god, yet still 6-1

LW: NR

This team is 6-1. It is entirely possible they go 11-1. This sickens and disgusts me.

LW: NR

If they keep winning, I'll be forced to move them up

Similar to Louisville i think they will coast to a 1 loss season but overall not an impressive coaching job and a lack of talent on the offensive side of the ball

Defense continues to be smothering, despite the offensive issues. A ten win season is not hard to imagine.

I had Iowa dead to rights after the Penn State loss. I still do, but I think they’re a little better than JMU

I hope I never have to watch Iowa play this year.

No offense to speak of, but Iowa's defense should carry the team to the B1G CCG. Instead of setting the line at 25 PPG, maybe 20 would be a better goal.
