The Hawkeyes closed out their home slate with a senior day win 19-10 over Illinois last weekend. That was expected. Unfortunately for the Hawkeyes, much of the rest of the top-25 also went as expected last week.
In total, only 3 previously ranked teams lost this week. One of those was #8 Penn State losing on the road at #2 Penn State. With no losses in front of them costly enough to drop teams below Iowa, the Hawkeyes enter the final week of the regular season with the same ranking as a week ago: #17
Despite Iowa being unchanged, there was some movement elsewhere.
