Iowa Hawkeyes drop out of Associated Press top 25 despite Week 1 win

After its 24-14 win over Utah State, Iowa fell out of the Associated Press’ Top 25 poll. Now, the Hawkeyes are receiving the most votes.

The Associated Press released their poll ahead of Week 2 and the Iowa Hawkeyes have dropped out of the top 25. The Hawkeyes are 1-0, but their showing against Utah State did not do enough for voters to keep them ranked as a few previously unranked teams jumped ahead.

Newcomers are highlighted by Colorado, led by Deion Sanders, who took down TCU, who is now unranked, and Duke, who upset Clemson, the new No. 25 team after a free fall in the rankings. Big Ten West foe, Wisconsin, did not see any change in the rankings after the Week 1 win over Buffalo.

The Hawkeyes remain the first team outside of the top 25 as they are the top team receiving votes. With another win against Iowa State, Iowa could find themselves ranked once again if teams ahead falter, but for now, they are on the outside looking in.
