Iowa is continuing to rise in the AP Top 25.
The Hawkeyes rode their running game and a strong defense to a 24-10 road win over Northwestern on Saturday. Iowa ran for 170 yards as a team, led by 128 from fourth-year running back L.J. Phillips Jr. Defensively, Phil Parker's unit had six sacks and eight tackles for loss in a dominant effort.
The win helped vault Iowa up the Nov. 8 AP Top 25 poll. The Hawkeyes jumped five spots from last week, landing at No. 16 in the newest rankings.
The newest AP poll saw quite a few changes following a massive slate of ranked games over the weekend. The Big Ten is represented by six teams in this week's rankings, led by UCLA at No. 4. Indiana is ranked No. 6, USC No. 15, Oregon No. 18, and Ohio State No. 21.
