Doogitywoogity	13	I really don’t change my opinion of Iowa all that much after that loss. They’re roughly the squad I think they are, which is a potential playoff squad when things go well. Friday night at Washington will be a challenge though, even if Washington isn’t a world beater this year. On the road, multiple time zones away, on a short week, in a loud stadium. Yeah the Hawkeyes will have to prove it.

Maladroit44	19	Iowa is still Iowa, to the surprise of nobody. I mentioned above that the stats suggest they were very lucky to pull off a win at Michigan, and that factors into this ranking...but so does the fact that Michigan is just not a good win. The Hawkeyes haven't beaten a ranked team, and that might remain true for the rest of the season even if they go 10-2 or 11-1. Surely they can't get a playoff spot just for that, right...?

HideNZeke	20	If all the injuries we had this week last then we're boned. Our offense did string a couple okay drives against OSU, so I guess I won't freefall them as much as I thought. The schedule is not as downhill after Washington as we thought preseason. We might fade

jtchr33	13	Great game, kinda mentioned it before that this is a team riding a high right now. Lots of traps upcoming and I think they may fall into one or two. They seem very concerned about Washington in the short week, I think they will be fine, the other nearby schools I would be more scared of.

Isthmus11	14	4-1, looked like the same old story against OSU. This team is improved and has a somewhat real offense with a forward pass this year, but they still don't seem to have the talent to get it done against truly elite teams. The rest of their schedule is almost as wide open as a B10 schedule can get, they can even afford to lose 1 more game and sneak into the B10 championship or the playoffs but I don't see them beating actually elite teams in either case

_THE__BOULDER_	18	Iowa's lack of offense is nothing new, but their defense did get taken apart by Julian Sayin and Jeremiah Smith. I was hoping for a bit more of a rock fight to help prove Iowan legitimacy.
ArlyntheAwesome	18	Comparing you to MissSt, who I lifted up despite losing this week, Iowa doesn't have nearly as good of a resume nor do they look as good of a team to warrant such. Still a team I wouldn't wanna play if I was anyone worse than tOSU, but alas, you had to play tOSU.
