Do we drop from the rankings now??

[Joshbrown]

what say you?

 

[Xerxes]

I think they will and I really hope they do. Even if they would have missed that FG, Iowa doesn't deserve to be ranked

 

[HaydenHawk56]

They should be out. Ranked teams should not lose at home to sub division teams....no matter how good they are.

 

[vork22]

ASU is unranked and damn near lost to UTSA and they would beat us by 30. I'd say we will be ranked 22nd but we shouldn't be ranked at all.

 

[NCHawker]

what say you?

Certainly.

Iowa isn't that good. This team is going to resemble the 2001 Iowa squad. Some excitement but lots of losses

 

[phdsvp]

Oh yeah. And frankly, I wouldn't rank them again before going undefeated into the B1G Championship game. Their schedule stinks.

 

[Bigtenchamp]

Lots of ranked teams losing lately... so they might.

 

[Xerxes]

Outside of CJB, King, Jewel, & maybe Johnson nobody on this team starts on the 2001 team.

22nd sounds right. I can hear the Rutgers head coach right now.

"Hey boyz, no reason we can't beat a ranked team this week."

 

[McNutt7gets6]

We'll definitely jump into the top 10 of the FCS poll...oh wait, we're an FBS team...in that case no, we shouldn't be ranked this week.

 

[dlbrandt]

I would rank them 26th.

 

[Garandx]

There is 0 excuse for an FBS team to lose to an FCS team. They should fall far out of the rankings. (Iowa plays better when its unranked anyways.)

Ouch

 

[HawkeyeWalker]

We probably should be out, but I think we'll be somewhere 21-25. We'll either win a few in a row and creep up a few spots, or lose again within the next few weeks and not crack the to 25 again.

This was a backbreaking 2nd half performance.

Pretty accurate. Hard to argue based on what we've seen thus far.

 

[HawkPrdatr40]

Iowa will NOT drop out...

 

[pmchawk]

Should be and I would say should stay out of it until they get to Wisconsin.

 

[HawkeyeWalker]

Iowa will NOT drop out...

Agreed. The overall narrative seems to be that ndsu is really good rather than Iowa being bad. I hope that's true but I can't help but believe we may be in trouble. When the biggest bright spot was the punter, against a FCS team...not promising.

 

[pmchawk]

The biggest negative to me is the Oline. Yes being down 2 of our lineman hurts, but that shouldn't mean we are stalemated at the LOS all game. Sometimes yes, but every play, no.
