I believe Stuart Mandel at CNNSi.com is the first
Stuart has taken a crack at projecting College Football’s Top 25 for next year. He has Iowa pulling in at #21.
21. Iowa (9-4)
Who’s back: QB Ricky Stanzi, T Bryan Bulaga, LB Pat Angerer, CB Amari Spievey.
Who’s not: RB Shonn Greene*, G Seth Olsen, DTs Mitch King and Matt Kroul.
Skinny: The upstart Hawkeyes are fairly set in most areas, but rising sophomore RB Jewel Hampton must fill 1,850-yard rusher Greene’s shoes.
As you can see it is full of analysis and should be taken very seriously. I really wish the first Top 25 poll didn’t come out until 6 weeks into the season.
