Maladroit44	14	Iowa is technically up five spots in my ballot this week, so let me be very clear: that's because other teams fell around them. I don't want anybody thinking I put any stock whatsoever in a win over Washington! I mean, okay, I will concede it's a *bit* impressive to do it on the other side of the country, given how intense Big Ten travel can be...but c'mon, this UW team just sucks. Is anybody really surprised Iowa beat the brakes off 'em? The Hawkeyes are still the best team that I feel confident isn't beating any of the top tiers, and that might remain the case a while, judging by their upcoming schedule.

Not a bad start, darkhorse lower seed pathway is clear tier 3b: 1-loss teams with a loss to a top team, but haven't beat anyone good yet. Iowa beat Michigan, most legit win besides oregon, lost to ohio st most legit loss. wake beat louisville, but lost to miami, etc etc ohio state + michigan > miami + louisville iowa > wake

Lefunnymaymays4lief	19	(NR) Last week I dropped several teams in the teens after losing pretty embarrassingly; Iowa was one of them and Florida was not. Allow me to correct that mistake. Washington looked spotty yet competitive in losses to Minnesota and USC and yet were absolutely suffocated by the Hawkeyes. B1G title game hopes are still alive in Iowa City

Jakesnake42	25	Someone has to go #25 and I realized ranking Florida was an insane idea so Iowa you once again exist. Last Week: NR Dropped: #15 Florida, #17 LSU, #18 Pitt, #25 Duke Also Considered: Pretty much every 1 loss P4 team left + Florida (I had to be talked off a ledge to rank them...thankfully)

Isthmus11	10	5-1, this is officially the top line on teams that I think can actually win a Natty. This team is good, they could do some damage and make it into the playoffs, I don't think their ceiling is higher than that. Washington is decent and they won convincingly but they were not that competitive against OSU
National-Sundae9427	10	Truthfully this might just be me thinking Iowa is better than they are, but I really believe that this is one of the best defenses and a much improved, more modern offenses. They have a friendly schedule coming up so they very well could be in the mix come playoff time.

_THE__BOULDER_	17	Washington kinda sucks but I was really surprised to see Iowa pulling off this many points. I'm not going to say this was an offensive renaissance for the Hawkeyes just yet, but Kamari Moulton ran for 208 yards and for 2 TDs, which I'm pretty sure is record day for him, and Jeremy Hecklinski was very efficient by throwing 14/19 for 202 yards and 3 TDs.
