## Resource

ESPN’s new Football Power Index ranks Iowa at No. 25 — a surprising nod to a team facing major QB uncertainty, placed in their “Tier 15” category. Despite returning just ten starters and questionable quarterback depth, analysts see enough in Iowa’s offensive line, running game, and defense to stay competitive. It’s a validation of what Iowa fans have long believed: this team finds ways to win, no matter who’s under center. With Big Ten Media Days looming, the real test begins — but for now, Iowa’s still in the conversation. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
