Iowa Hawkeyes Move Up in AP Top 25, Bison Receive Votes
The Iowa Hawkeyes are on the move up in the rankings once again this week following a close win over rival Iowa State.
The Hawkeyes trailed midway through the fourth quarter, but a pair of field goals in the final frame made the difference in a 16-13 home victory.
Kirk Ferentz' team is well thought of after the rivalry win, and the team has officially entered the top 20.

Another big area storyline has been the start of the season for the NDSU Bison. The newly minted FBS team is 3-0 and just notched a 38-32 road win over Air Force. The Bison are in the receiving votes category this week.
