We are now less than two weeks away from the first college football game of the 2021 season and only a few extra days away from our first official game week for the Iowa Hawkeyes. On Monday, we learned just where the Hawkeyes will be ranked in the AP Poll for that season opener against the Indiana Hoosiers and Hawkeye fans should feel pretty good about how things sit.
This marks the third consecutive season the Hawkeyes will enter the season ranked in the pre-season AP Poll. Iowa came into 2020 ranked 24th and climbed throughout the year to finish at 16th.
