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.

To be mentioned in the same tier as Lil debbie is just a sucker punch
 
I can't see the original list of tiers but Tier 4 is way too low to me. Iowa typically ranks #21 on most FBS rankings when ranked various settings. 21st in attendance. 21st in endowment. 21st in historical rankings, etc

This makes Iowa a Tier 2 school but I would 12-16 teams in each tier.
 
My Tier 1
Bama, LSU, Georgia,
Flor, Clem, ND,
Ohio St, Mich, Penn St,
USC, Ok, Tex

Tier 2
Aub, Flor St, Miami,
Tenn, VT, Wisc,
Iowa, Neb, Wash, Ore,
Tex A&M, Mich St
