For the second week in a row, the Iowa football team is in the top-20 of the Associated Press college football rankings.
The bump up one spot to No. 18 is reflective of Iowa’s suffocating 23-0 win over Maryland, a game that honestly wasn’t even as close as the score indicates.
Next up, Iowa has a big game against No. 17 Penn State in Happy Valley. Kirk Ferentz hasn’t beaten James Franklin in two chances, but methinks this is about as vulnerable a Penn State as we’re gonna see.
For extra incentive, the Iowa-Penn State game will be on ESPN.
