Where Iowa football stands in national rankings ahead of Ohio State game
Where Iowa football stands in the national rankings ahead of the matchup with Ohio State at Kinnick Stadium.
Iowa football currently holds the 14th position in the latest US LBM Coaches Poll, with the Associated Press rankings set to be released later. This is an improvement from their previous ranking of 17th in both the Coaches and AP polls. Their next match will be against Ohio State, a team ranked 6th in the Coaches Poll.
Iowa enters this game undefeated, having just secured a thrilling 20-19 victory over Michigan. Quarterback Hank Brown played a pivotal role in this win, orchestrating a 91-yard touchdown drive in under two minutes, culminating in a last-second 16-yard score to Reece Vander Zee. Vander Zee's performance was exceptional, netting two touchdowns and becoming only the second Iowa player since his debut in 2024 to achieve this feat.
Iowa is set to host Ohio State at Kinnick Stadium on October 3rd. Meanwhile, Ohio State, currently at 3-1, suffered their first loss of the season after blowing a 20-point second-half lead against Texas. The Buckeyes, however, have dominated their other two non-conference games, beating Ball State and Kent State. Their Big Ten debut was a dominant 42-19 win over Illinois.
The game between Iowa and Ohio State is scheduled for approximately 2:30 p.m. CT, with the broadcast on CBS.
