It was pretty clear cut. Not sure why you thought that way.

gotta get up to #11 and we are in business

Seems like the committee likes us.

Hawkfan4life2025 · Tuesday at 8:44 PM

Win and we are in LFG!!!

r_desihawk · Tuesday at 8:46 PM

i hope for once iowa is a beneficiary of b1g officiating for rest of the season…i think we could use that particularly going against bert

Hurricane88 · Tuesday at 8:46 PM

Should be ahead of Houston IMO. But, the committee has shown us that if the Hawkeyes win out they will most likely be in.

NorthernHawkeye · Tuesday at 8:46 PM

The only thing that makes me nervous is what they just did to Indiana. Dropped 5 spots.

Erratic behavior by the committee.

Hurricane88 · Tuesday at 8:46 PM

Also, Alabama ahead of UCLA is BS. Glad we have Joey Galloway repping the B1G on ESPN.

squeezebox_1 · Tuesday at 8:47 PM

These rankings are an absolute joke

Bama and Texas over a 1 loss Miami? I don’t think Miami is incredible, but that is a sick joke

HawksRule73 · Tuesday at 8:50 PM

There are four 2 loss teams in the top 11. All of them from the SEC. Sure, no bias whatsoever.

Yes, also Miami was without their best player. Dropping Indiana multiple spots because they didn't play is also asinine.

squeezebox_1 · Tuesday at 8:53 PM

It’s so bad that Tennessee beat bama, they have the same record and they are ranked below them

That was concerning to say the least

And what happens if Oregon and/or USC keep winning?

Will they leapfrog us?

A 9-3 Ole Miss worries me, too.

Ole Piss is out of it. They have been curb stomped twice this season. Once to (currently) unranked Florida. USC could be a problem. Let's hope they lose another game, as well as Oregon for good measure.

If USC keeps winning they'll have proven their worth on the field. Oregon, idk. I could see arguments for both. Luckily the committee doesn't follow any sort of logic so who knows.

Called it. Now we need 4 spots in 3 weeks.

Win out!

I thought 15 all along after Saturday as well. I'll also say 12th is a likely landing place next Tuesday unless USC pulls the upset. Then it's just 1 spot over the last 2 games, hopefully 2 spots so Iowa doesn't get penalized for not playing in the conference championship game.

Hurricane88 · Tuesday at 9:04 PM

Let's hope for losses from:

HOUSTON: Plays @Colorado on Friday
TEXAS TECH: Plays @Ok St on Saturday
WAKE FOREST: Plays @SMU on Friday
KENTUCKY: Plays Florida on Saturday
TENNESSEE: Plays @A&M on Saturday

bulletproof90 · Tuesday at 9:07 PM

USC lost to that pisspoor Wisconsin team we had no problem with. They aren’t winning out.

Yes, USC would definitely leapfrog us with 2 top 10 wins. Deservedly so.

IowaCityLit · Tuesday at 9:09 PM

The team ranked 2 spots ahead of Iowa needed double OT to beat…Purdue.

Comrades, buckle up for Sat night at Kinnick.

The Committee got blasted last week for the bias. I guess they don't give a sheet and are following orders from eSECpn.

I just hope we don't drop after beating lowly Purdue.

BigOHawk1 · Tuesday at 9:20 PM

This is all we can ask for following that damn Gopher game...boys, it's all in front of us for the first time in quite some time. Poster above is right, Ole Miss is cooked they don't have the resume or schedule to get back in the mix. Houston's metrics and resume is quite pedestrian from what I remember and we need Wake and Tech to lose. But, let's say USC upsets Indiana, I'm not so sure that it possible yet if it does it might push us up too...yet I don't want to see that and Indiana is at home.

I'd like Illinois to upset UCLA Friday and of course us beat a ranked team on road to get another key win.

So, you are saying the Committee will be consistent moving forward and no team currently below us will jump us....

HawksRule25 · Tuesday at 9:21 PM

SoDakHawk · Tuesday at 9:22 PM

No way Houston should be ahead of Iowa. BYU at #10 with two losses is a joke too.

Outbackbowl2017 · Tuesday at 9:22 PM

Can Iowa get to 11 for the final play off poll? Sure, but will the committee put them there when all is said and done if Iowa wins out? Hope so, but don’t trust ESECPN.

Remaining games….
15) Iowa…Purdue, @ Illini, Nebraska
14) Houston….@ Colorado, @ WV, Baylor
13) Wake Forest…@ SMU, @ GA Tech, Duke
12) Texas Tech…..@ Ok State, @ Baylor, TCU
11) Kentucky……Florida, @ Mizzou, Louisville
10) BYU….Baylor, @ Kansas, Cincinnati
9) Indiana…….USC, @ Wash, Purdue
8) Tennessee….@ aTm, LSU, @ Vanderbilt

I’m saying if we win and they win they won’t jump us. If they wanted to put them ahead of us they would have done it tonight

But Indiana would likely drop below us. It's a good thing that they play each other this week.

One of them will be out this weekend.
