A lot of insane action going on right now. Could be as high as 12.

Should be higher than Texas, Mizzou, Miss St and Alabama. About to see how bad the SEC bias really is.

Honestly.... They'll leave them at 17 and tell us that we are lucky they didn't drop in the rankings.

They won't drop the mighty SEC teams like Alabama and Missouri below Iowa after losing to ranked mighty SEC teams on the road.

They won't drop Texas that far.... Cause SEC stuff

Miss St will just swap spots with LSU, so LSU will jump us, cause SEC...

Yeah, Iowa's schedule to this point is ranked ~25-30 by most services I've seen. And the problem is that they don't have a whole lot left on the schedule to boost that, so it will likely gradually drop. Iowa is in an unusual situation, in that they don't have any B1G gimmees on the schedule (No Maryland, Rutgers, MSU or PSU), not even Purdue; and with 6 games remaining they also don't have any powerhouses left.

That's why I'm convinced that for Iowa to make the CFP it has to be 11 wins or bust, despite some of the craziness that went on this weekend. Having a 10-2 record with their marquee win being Mich/Wash/NW/Neb isn't going to do it.

Agree. There are going to be maybe a dozen teams at 10-2 at the end.
I have zero confidence that Iowa would be chosen at 10-2.
OSU , IU and UCLA might grab the only slots for BIG.,unless we are 11-1...just win, Hawkeyes!
