Even so, considering where Iowa finished they underestimated Iowa by a large margin. The point is that preseason polls are very unreliable that they can not be used as a way to predict how the season will turn out. The default is to pretty much go with the way teams finished the previous season for a lot of the voters since they don't have time to research the teams. As far as I'm concerned preseason top 25s can just be ignored.
