Moving 8 places is crazy. Helps build the hype for ESPN. The voters know that one of us will be moving to 18 after this game and the other will be 7.

Yeah we are used to seeing this game with the polls every year in the SEC.

Lol, for many years Virginia Tech (not in the SEC ) was always on the receiving end of this type of high ranking game until they would lose five or six games a year, after year, after year. This exposed them so much that they had to go away from putting them in the top ten every year.

This is typical ESPN shenanigans. Neither team is a top 10 team but what the hell we’ll take it.

Iowa beats Iowa State like they did Indiana, and Iowa will be #4 or #5 depending on OSU/Oregon.

Whoever wins will be top 10. ISU may not be that great, they will be good we think, but if Iowa wins on the road they are top 10 until someone beats them.

Catbird seat

The winner of this game will be a legit Top 10 team. There aren't that many good teams out there.

Penn State has some glaring flaws and so does Ohio State.
