Iowa football rises in latest AP Top 25 poll rankings

Iowa football climbed three spots to No. 17 in the latest AP Top 25 poll after a commanding 41-24 victory over Washington in Week 6.

The Hawkeyes showcased a balanced offensive performance, rushing for 263 yards with Kamari Moulton setting a career-high with 208 yards on the ground. Quarterback Jeremy Hecklinski added three touchdown passes while maintaining a clean game, leading Iowa’s dominant offensive push.

The win marked a significant leap in the rankings, as Iowa moved up despite a tumultuous week in college football that saw top-ranked Texas fall to Oklahoma and underdog UCLA and Kentucky surge with notable gains of nine and 11 spots, respectively. In the Big Ten, Ohio State led the conference with a rise to No.

4, while Wisconsin, Oregon, and Nebraska also earned votes in the poll. Iowa’s improved standing reflects their strong start to the season, now sitting at 5-1 with a key road win under their belt as Week 7 approaches.
