Make it another week in the top 10 for Iowa.

The Hawkeyes held the No. 10 spot in the Associated Press poll for the second straight week. They improved to 8-0 after beating Maryland 31-15 on Saturday.

Iowa wasn’t able to move up for the first time all season because nobody in the AP top 10 lost in Week 9. Still, the Hawkeyes will be one of three unbeaten B1G teams that will enter the first College Football Playoff poll on Tuesday.

Ohio State and Michigan State held on to their No. 1 and No. 6 spots, respectively. Iowa remained ahead of two-loss Michigan, which dropped one spot to No. 16.

The Hawkeyes will look to tie their 9-0 2009 start when they travel to take on Indiana next Saturday.
