The Preseason AP Top 25 was announced and the Iowa Hawkeyes come in at #22. In the Coaches Poll the Hawks were ranked #21.

There is nothing too surprising here. Obviously Florida came in at #1 with all but 2 of the first place votes. The Gators are followed by Texas, Oklahaoma, USC, and Alabama to round out the top 5 (exactly the same top 5, actually top 7, as the coaches poll). Ole Miss may be a little high at 8 and like the coaches poll, I don't think Notre Dame should be included. I also think Georgia and California are both a little high, but it's hard for me to think of an argument for who else I'd put in their places. All in all, #22 or #21 for the Hawkeyes sounds about right to me.
