Two sources have published their post spring power rankings for the Big Ten, and Iowa ranks #3 in both. On ESPN, Rittenberg comments on Stanzi progress and notes that the defense might one of the nation's best. Bleacher Report also mentions Stanzi, but says the road schedule is going to be tough. The two lists are pretty similar and both have OSU 1, PSU 2, and Iowa 3.
