That is most definitely not a roll of quarters in my pocket....

In previous years we would have to go to a link within the link to see all the teams ranked 26th and higher.
Know anyone who has to do that in this link?

I know. I was typing too quickly.
I imagine this link even has words describing the team.
Hoks ranked 26. Too high in my opinion. Oh well, the schedule will take care of that.
Gonna nerd this place up a little bit.
# of Top 25 teams
B12 - 4, B1G - 6, SEC - 6, ACC - 4, P12 - 3
Avg Rank by conference
B12 - 45.9, B1G - 42.57, SEC - 35.79, ACC - 48.71, P12 - 46.67
Other observations,
B1G East has 4 top 25 teams, it's avg rank is higher than the B1G West. 43.29 vs 41.86
SEC West avg rank is 5 spots better than the East
ACC Coastal avg rank is 10 spots lower than the Atlantic
P12 South avg rank is 7 spots lower than the North
The Big 12 is top-heavy 4 teams in the top 25, 2 in the top 10, the fifth team is Baylor at 51. TT (73) WVU (71) and KSU (76) I don't believe all are that bad. One if not two of those teams are top 50 material by the time conference play heats up.

Iowa not ranked in top 25 is fair.
I think Oklahoma State ranked is a bit of a headscratcher but we'll see
Unlike many, I actually think Nebraska is worthy of being 24th despite their record last year

The Big 10 West is going to be interesting this season. Purdue, Minnesota, and Nebraska all look like they're improving with young coaches. Throw Iowa and Northwestern in there, and it looks like a better division than it has been recently, but one likely to beat up on each other. Per usual in the Big 10, it will come down to who has the significantly easier schedule.
But anyways, Go State! F*ck Iowa.

And that honestly could be Minnesota. Iowa's road schedule is brutal. There are five games I would have them likely losing. All on the road.
