Iowa football catapults in latest USA TODAY Sports 1-138 Re-Rank

The Iowa football team experienced a significant improvement in the latest USA TODAY Sports 1-138 Re-Rank. Their victory over Washington, a 41-24 triumph, played a crucial role in their ascension. The performance highlighted by Kamari Moulton's exceptional running game was instrumental in Iowa's climb. This win saw the Hawkeyes jump eight ranks from their previous position, landing them at No. 14 in this week's rankings.

Following a loss to Ohio State that dropped them eight ranks, the recent victory seemed to restore some of the goodwill. Iowa's coach, Kirk Ferentz, can be confident as the team enters the bye week, with a promising schedule ahead. The top five teams in this week's Re-Rank include Georgia, Notre Dame, Miami, Ohio State, and Indiana.

In the Big Ten, UCLA sits at No. 9, USC at No. 15, and Nebraska at No. 25. For ongoing coverage of Iowa news, updates, and opinions, follow @HawkeyesWire on X (formerly Twitter) and like their Facebook page.
