After a dramatic 16-13 Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series victory over Iowa State on Saturday, Iowa football once again climbed one spot in the latest US LBM Coaches Poll.
Iowa is now ranked No. 20 in the US LBM Coaches Poll headed into Week 3 thanks to the Hawkeyes' hard-nosed victory over the Cyclones that saw kicker Caden Buhr etch his name into the Cy-Hawk Series history books with a game-winning 42-yard field goal.
The biggest increase in this week's US LBM Coaches Poll was Michigan, who rose five spots after upsetting then-No. 10 Oklahoma.
Due to Oregon's historic 39-31 loss to unranked Oklahoma State, the Ducks suffered the biggest fall this week, dropping 12 spots to No. 18.
