Interesting article on ESPN about Iowa:

Iowa opened as 100-1 to win the national championship and before the season started it fell all the way to 25-1 as a lot of smart money bet heavily on Iowa. It doesn't mean people think they will win it all, but at 100-1 or 80-1 it was a really good bet to put down some money on.

"Iowa's taken some good money," Johnny Avello, executive director of race and sports at the Wynn, said. "They are our worst liability right now, but we have a whole season to get off them."

The Hawkeyes opened as a 100-1 long shot to win the national championship but have been bet down to 25-1 at the Wynn. Iowa is also the worst-case scenario at the Westgate and for Las Vegas sportsbook operator CG Technology, where Iowa begins the season with better odds than Stanford (30-1),Oregon (40-1) and Michigan State(80-1).

Yeah I threw 100 on the Marlins to win the WS at 75-1 last time I was there. Don't think they will win but odds were juicy.
