When you fill out your Brackets dudes...push Iowa thru a few rounds...They're a team you can differentiate your bracket with and have a decent chance to be right. They're certainly could be seeded worse that they will finish.

Yea, #9 was ridiculous.  I had them at #3, but they are playing really well at this point.

Even Blue Ribbon had Iowa at #8.  BR is usuallyt pretty good inits prognostications.

Who had them at #9? I'll admit they have been better than I thought, but I thought they were a borderline top 25 team to start the season.

#9 per SI.com (Hanner / Wynn) http://www.si.com/college-basketball/2015/10/19/big-ten-preview-maryland-indiana-michigan-state

#9 per Big Ten Network http://btn.com/2015/10/14/btn-coms-preseason-hoops-predictions-honors-all-big-ten-team/

...are the first ones that come up in a search. Lots of 8's, lots of 9's were out there. Bizarro.

Yeah, and I just don't get why.  Senior / Junior laden team, coming back from a 4th place finish last year.  Makes no sense, but whatever.

They relied too heavily on recruiting class rankings. IIRC, Iowa's 2015 class was ranked last in the B1G. I picked them 5th.

I think every time somebody talks about recruiting rankings when the subject is a team filled with upperclassmen, I'm just gonna say: "Iowa. Next!"
