***Official College Football Playoff Rankings***

Iowa has beaten 3 teams with a combined record of 3-11. And their next opponent is 1-3. That is just laughable folks. Outside of Northwestern.... Louisiana would easily be the toughest team on their schedule thus far.
 
Didn’t shock me one bit because I expect it, but it’s like they outdo themselves every year. NW, Indiana and Wisconsin’s ranking is let’s call it interesting.

Side note I think we are a few spots too high. BYU below us is a joke. Don’t care who you played, they have looked the part and we have two losses (one to a Group of 5) team.

I mean, their schedule is reeeeeeeeeeeeeeally bad. Yes, they blasted an overrated Boise St team. That is it.

Side note Georgia being number 9 is questionable at best. I think both us and OU are better than they are. That team has been ravaged with some key injuries and their offense is not good. Their defense has really faltered too.
 
We should all pause for a few minutes and take time to watch the University of Iowa institution that is Gary Barta.

Absolutely the perfect person to represent that athletic department.

Had we not lost to Louisiana I would agree we deserve to be above them. But Louisiana is a G5 team just like BYU. We lost to one why couldn’t we lose to a much better one. First game and all I get it but in my opinion BYU has looked good enough to earn a spot or two above us.

Now we beat Texas I am fine with us jumping them because that’s another top-20 win. Just my opinion though. I don’t think BYU deserves a shot at the playoff with that schedule but top10? Sure.

And they turned down a game with Washington because they wanted to see where they would be ranked first. Dumb.

It was smart because had they been where Cincy is they could sit and let chaos ensue to maybe sneak in. Maybe now though they will try and schedule someone and this will get sorted out. Although will a win against Washington really impress anyone that much more? We all agree the Pac-12 is garbage.
 
After losing to Purdue and Northwestern to start the year, Iowa probably would have been ranked about 100th in the nation..... but after beating 3 absolutely atrocious teams..... they're all the way up to #24!!

And after they beat 1-3 Nebby..... they'll probably be in the top 15 I'm guessing. It would be so awesome to play in the B1G West.
