Hawkeyes miss out on Top 25, but get votes from coaches

Fifteen teams from the Big Ten or SEC made the preseason USA Today Coaches Poll on Monday, but the Iowa Hawkeyes were not one of them.

Even though they were outside the Top 25, the Hawks did receive some votes — good for 33rd if you’re scoring at home.
