subject: Vegas' Preseason College Football Top Ten, Buckeyes edge out Tide for top spot [print this page] The Hawkeyes are coming off an 11 win season in which they didn't lose their first game until November. There are six returning starters on offense including quarterback Ricky Stanzi and leading rusher Adam Robinson. In 2009, Iowa's defense allowed only one opponent to score over 24 points in a game. Considering that eight starters return on D, they should be even better this year. Finally, Iowa will play all of their toughest games at home as Penn State, Wisconsin, Michigan State and Ohio State all travel to Iowa this year.
