That is what's wrong with Iowa. Okay, so they don't blow out schools (not even Northern Iowa or Arkansas State!)... They jumped 20 spots in the polls because they beat PSU, who has 2 fairly impressive wins in the past 3 years (both last year against Big 10 schools) and has no reason being in the top 20.

Besides PSU, they're propped up because the media sees the Big 10 as a "tough, deep conference" as opposed to what it really is: incredibly mediocre.

And I don't get your 12-0 remark, since they have 2 losses?
