Meh, preseason rankings are pretty useless IMO. It's just water cooler talk for what teams everyone THINKS will be good (or not) in the upcoming season.
Still, Iowa was barely ranked at the end of last year and they lost a lot to graduation, so it's no surprise they aren't getting any love. But it doesn't matter - the Hawks can go out and do it on the court.
I agree with what someone else said - you get outside of the top 30 or so and you may as well just start pulling names out of a hat.
That's kinda like the southeastern sports writers when it comes to ranking football teams. They just pull names out a hat. The problem is only SEC and ACC names are in the hat.
