Some of my favorite years have been the ones where no one knew what to expect. We've got a lot of talent, and I'm excited to see how it comes together.
My God Iowa has nothing beyond current starters/Jorbo.
Also, should any team be ranked #4 that has had this recently?

I wonder where the rest of the Big 12 would fall.
ISU & TCU somewhere between 50-65, KSU..... 75-80?

Like it or not when Garza decided to come back they are a legit team. Better get ready for a nauseating season watching them compete for a very good seed in the NCAA Tournament. Maybe they can get Northwestern Stated again. I couldn’t stomach them somehow making a Final Four. I just threw up typing that.
I’d suggest everyone bet heavy on Iowa winning the big 10 and even more to win it all. That way, if this season goes the way Iowa wants it to, at least you’re flush with cash.
Fun fact, this is exactly what I am doing. No joke. If those guys somehow pull out winning a National Championship I at least want to be heavily rewarded to get me through the insufferable vomit that will come from their fan base.
I'm guessing the preseason poll will be ...
10. K-State
9. ISU
8. TCU
7. OU
6. oSu
5. Texas
4. WVU
3. TxT
2. Ku
1. Baylor
Guards matter more than posts in college basketball. Iowa has 0 guards who can score off the dribble consistently or get to the hoop when you need a basket.
I predict Iowa and ISU to finish with two spots of each other in their respective conferences
Iowa 4-5th
ISU 6-7th

Meaning that I generally think teams that can rely mostly on their returning players will have a huge advantage over teams like ISU that are hoping to rely on some new players because COVID has drastically reduced the ability for teams to figure themselves out, both from the amount of practice they're able to do and from the reduction in non-conference games.
Thus, in a normal season, I think ISU would have a shot at becoming good enough for the tournament. But this season, I worry it will take ISU too long to grow together into a good team.
The only thing I will say to that is even though Iowa's guards can't create their ball movement is really really good. It infuriates me when I watch them play because the ball is absolutely popping and the only time it really sticks is if Garza is try to either create or draw a defender. When they have multiple guys knocking down three's they will be really tough to defend.
