Oct 24th USA Today Coaches Poll

Dropped to 19th which is really fair as their are many unbeatens left or one loss teams still out there...most interesting is how Michigan is now rated after their bye week.


Top 25: Oregon still No. 1 as Auburn makes charge to No. 3 - USATODAY.com

Pretty generous considering we haven't beaten anyone and lost both games when we did.

Michigan State #5? We could get back some ground next week if the BCS agrees with this.

...and we win.

As it stands, Iowa still has the chance to beat 2 top ten teams. Not likely to pull if off, but the chance is there.

and Michigan I guess is our best win.......

Generous how?

We will get no respect next week from the media....Which Iowa loves....Watch for the win over the #5 team in the nation.

Ya, I was going to add, Michigan St is not the 5th best team in the country. Problem is we are the only team likely until their bowl game to prove that.

You might get beat up on for this comment but it is the truth.

I think it is probably safe to say that we shouldn't really care about where Iowa is ranked in the BCS now. Yes they have to be ranked in the top 12 to be considered for an at large, but that would mean Iowa has to win the rest of the games and if they do that I'm still not sure a 2 loss Iowa team would get an at large bid over a 2 loss Ohio St or 1 loss MSU anyway, and of course this is assuming Wisconsin wins out, if they don't then Iowa goes to the Rose Bowl and it won't matter if they are ranked in the top 12.
