Iowa in Tier 4 seems about right, although aspirationally I think we could be a Tier 3 team.

But, some of Mandel's Tier 3 teams should NOT be above Iowa:

Tier 3 (10): I’m converting this to “every three to five years,” because five is a long time: Ole Miss, Texas A&M, Auburn, Tennessee, Washington, Wisconsin, Michigan State, TCU, Utah, Boise State.
