Heartland Trophy Iowa
Iowa has returned to the Top 25 polls.

 The Iowa football team has returned to the Top 25 rankings. After dropping out earlier this season, the Hawkeyes returned to the Top 25 in the country following their road win at Wisconsin on Saturday afternoon.

Iowa is ranked 23rd by the USA Today Coaches Poll and 24th by the Associated Press.

The Hawkeyes were ranked 25th in the preseason Associated Press Poll. Then after the first game of the season, they fell out of the rankings. After beating Iowa State, the Hawekyes moved back into the poll at 25th and moved up to 24th after beating Western Michigan. However, once Iowa lost 31-0 at Penn State, they fell out of the poll. Last week, Iowa received seven votes before returning to the poll this week.

Among the Big Ten teams, Michigan is the highest ranked at #2. Ohio State is ranked 3rd and Penn State is 6th. Ohio State and Penn State play each other this Saturday in Columbus. Iowa will be hosting Minnesota on Saturday afternoon. Kickoff is set for 2:30 pm and will air on NBC.
