With Win At Michigan, Does Iowa Break Top 10?

[MelroseHawkins]

After beating MSU at home and if they were to win at Michigan on Saturday, does Iowa crack the top 10? I would think so, especially after so many top 10 teams crapped the bed this week.

Short answer = Yes

This game is played @Iowa and on SUNDAY, by the way, but yes - I should think winning this weekend would get the Hawks to #10 at least. That was an impressive beat down.

I am pretty confident we will be in the Top 10 with a win Sunday...thinking 7 to 9 range.

Game is Sunday at Carver, but short answer is yes, look at the number of top 10 teams that have lost this week. Iowa is going to shoot up the poll with a win. Not top 5, but the coaches and media know how difficult it is to win at the Breslin Center and then do it by 17 I can see them moving all the way up to 7th or 8th.

win Sunday and they are closer to 5 than 10

^^^ We shall see - but that win last night turned a lot of heads, I think. I expect a good jump, provided Iowa wins Sunday.

 

[bogeyman]

Yes - top 10 for sure.

Carver better be louder than any time the last 20 years Sunday!

No crap. Thanks for correcting me. I thought was at Michigan. Even better!

i think they will be at 8 they would be the only 3 loss team in it and the highest of any 3 loss team. I would have no problem with 8 heck i have n problem with 16 right now didnt think they would have this many Ws at this point!

Gotta avoid a flat game against Michigan. That tends to happen after big wins.

 

[EMik21]

Michigan just knocked off Maryland, so they are coming off of a pretty big "W" as well and could possibly come out flat.

 

[jjh4hawks01]

We should be #7 or #8. Pomeroy has it right.

 

[mopkins]

Since Michigan just beat Maryland I'd expect Maryland to fall a bit. If Iowa can beat Michigan on Sunday Iowa might be the highest ranked big ten team next week.

Sagarin, which I haven't looked at all year, looks about right: Iowa at #7.

Yes - top 10 for sure.

For sure. Iowa's recent athletic success reminds me of the good old days of the late 1980s....need the crowds to support this team!

 

[HuckFinn]

I would be fine with a ranking that changes very little, maybe a spot of 2 at most. That should **** off the guys, both here and on the team.

 

[eveningnewsteam]

Easily. The entire nation saw that *** kicking in East Lansing

Sh!t....I bought three tix for CHA on Sunday. Guess I can sit anywhere I want huh?

 

[Seth53]

If we win Sunday....

Group of Iowans congregating at the Michigan state house in Lansing....

Cops: "You fella's lost?"
Hawks: "No sir, we're right where we're supposed to be."
Cops: "How so?"
Hawks: "We're here collecting rent. We own the state of Michigan."
