BosskOnASegway 25 No one deserves this spot really, everyone outside the clear top 24 suck but Iowa has the least terrible strength of record and beats the next team out which is one spot lower on strength of record Missouri by 1 spot in FPI as well, so they get the spot by virtue of being the least terrible option.

Zloggt 25 The interesting question of who is the best 4-loss team in the land...lots of potential answers, but I'd say that the Hawkeyes having the "least bad" losses (13 points total) gives them the nod (for now)...

FrontRunner51 17 (+4) Lack an impressive win, but very close losses to 3 top 15 teams plus 8-4 Iowa St (who I have in 26-30 range).

DarthGlazer 24 Really tough luck of the draw with the schedule. I still think Iowa is better than half the teams above them but 4 losses is inexcusable.

Nobody really deserves the #24 and #25 spots in the rankings, so I just went with my gut. Iowa is probably the best four loss team in the nation? Regardless, Kirk Ferentz is like McDonald's fries. He never breaks down or goes bad. 27 seasons at Iowa and he can still bring the Hawkeyes to a decent record. It's honestly extremely impressive. The longevity is very admirable.
