Hawkeyes Play On... With National Ranking

IOWA CITY, Iowa -- The national ranking listed next to the University of Iowa football team shows the Hawkeyes are doing something right in 2015, but it doesn’t mean much more than that heading into Week 6.
Iowa is ranked 22nd in The Associated Press and 23rd in the coaches’ poll heading into Saturday’s Homecoming matchup against Illinois (4-1, 1-0). It is the program’s first AP ranking since 2010 -- a span of 75 weeks.
“It feels good (to be ranked), but at this point, it doesn’t really mean too much,” said senior center Austin Blythe. “It means a lot more at the end of the season after all the games are played.”
