Higher than I thought but I think it’s deserved at this point. It also helps that Oregon beat Syracuse so we have a win over a ranked team.

Holy crap! It's been awhile since they have been ranked.

WE ARE BACK!!!!!!

Big 10 with 6 teams in a row from 23rd to 28th lol.

Awesome for these players and the program.

Does this mean we will make the NCAA tourney?

WE ARE BACK!!!!!!

First time since the final '15-'16 poll. Remember 3 years ago when we were ranked as high as 3rd? Seems like eons ago!

Another good question would be when was the last time Iowa was ranked in November.

9 BIG teams in the top 30. This conference is going to be an absolute war this year.

Its still early but if you told me 2 weeks ago that Iowa would be ranked in November I would've said you were a moron.

Iowa only has 1 game this week against a cupcake so they could move up going into the pitt/wisconsin week

Just saw the coach's poll has Iowa ranked 22nd and Oregon ranked 20th. Because that makes sense.

Nice! Anyone else think the B1G might not have a top 10 team at the end of the season? Not that I don't think there is a legit top 10 team, more of how strong the conference looks. I think the Big Ten might beat each other up during conference play. Come January, Iowa is about to go 12 rounds against Tyson. Once March rolls around, every B1G should be battle tested and ready for the tournament.

Ah, right, the Carlton Reed/Seth Gorney team. The team that ran into the Northwestern State juggernaut.

Iowa is going to really need to protect the home court this year. With this many quality teams road wins are going to be extremely tough to come by.

Lol. Yeah....because when I think of that team, I think of Reed and Gorney.

From what I have seen of Michigan, they are a legitimate top ten team and should remain there without injuries or ineligibilities down the line.....
