If you keep winning, good things happen.
The Iowa Hawkeyes have broken through the top 25 for the first time this year following Saturday's 42 - 16 victory against Big Ten opponent Indiana.
The Hawkeyes are now ranked No. 22 in the Coaches Poll, and No. 19 in the AP Top 25 poll.
The Hawkeyes, now 5-1 are tied for the lead in the Big Ten West with Northwestern, Wisconsin, and Purdue. Each team has one loss in their Big Ten season, however the Hawkeyes have lost to Wisconsin, meaning the Badgers would hold an eventual tiebreaker over the Hawkeyes.
The Hawkeyes still have games against Northwestern and Purdue later in the season, with Maryland up next, visiting Kinnick Stadium on October 20.
