Winner: Iowa (up to No. 10)

One of the most impressive performances on Saturday came from the Iowa Hawkeyes. Iowa faced an Indiana team that was getting a lot of hype coming into the season and they completely shut them down and won 34-6, and the final score does not indicate how out of hand this game was.

The Hawkeyes ground game was impressive and the passing game seems like it may have improved upon last season. Iowa faces another tough test this weekend, with a trip to Ames to face rival Iowa State. Iowa could be making a second appearance on this list if they take down the Cyclones on Saturday.

Winner: Ole Miss (up to No.19)

The Rebels were big winners this week after dismantling Louisville on Monday night. The offense looked as explosive as ever, even without head coach Lane Kiffin calling the plays. The defense looked like it was a much-improved unit and that could mean big things in Oxford this fall. Quarterback Matt Corral was great and the running game looked like it could have a few guys that could make contributions for the Rebels.

If the defense is really this much improved, Ole Miss might be able to claim they are the second-best team in the SEC West.
