IOWA CITY — The latest iteration of the USATODAY US LBM college football coaches poll has been released. Iowa football dropped out of the top 25 following Saturday’s loss to Iowa State.

Iowa State pulled off a win in stunning fashion over the Hawkeyes at Kinnick Stadium on Saturday.

Down by two points with less than 10 seconds remaining, Iowa State kicker Kyle Konrardy drilled a 54-yard field goal to give the Cyclones the lead. It was the first time Iowa State led all day, and the Cyclones won 20-19.

Leading by 13 at the break, the Hawkeyes had multiple blown opportunities, which allowed Iowa State to stay within shouting distance. Twice in the first half Iowa failed to score touchdowns after having first-and-goal. On each of those occasions, Iowa got three points on the board with Drew Stevens’ made field goals.

But the Hawkeyes left points on the field, which in an eventual one-point loss turned out to be critical.

Iowa rankings update

On Sunday, Iowa received votes but was not included in the top 25 in the newest version of the USATODAY US LBM coaches poll. The Hawkeyes were previously No. 21.

Iowa, now 1-1 on the season, hosts Troy on Sept. 14 before starting Big Ten play with a road matchup against Minnesota.

“It’s all about how we respond,” star linebacker Jay Higgins said following Saturday’s loss to Iowa State. “It kinda felt like this last year Week 4 at Penn State, where you lose a tough game early in the year. I mean, luckily for us, the year’s not over. It’s Week 2. If I was a betting man, the sun’s probably gonna be up tomorrow.”
