This site is going state-by-state, and ranking all the teams in each state. The rankings are "based mostly on recent success (the last five years) mixed in with subjective factors such as conference prestige, historical success, and overall program direction." They rank the state of Iowa as Iowa, UNI, ISU, and Drake. About Drake they say:
The Bulldogs pulled off one of the all-time great turnaround seasons last year. In his first season, Keno Davis (is he a coaching genius or just lucky?) led Drake to a 28-5 record, the NCAA Tournament, a Top 10 RPI, and an MVC title. But this is a program that hadn't made the Big Dance since 1971, and hadn't finished above .500 in MVC play in the prior 22 seasons. Until the program proves last year wasn't just a fluke, they remain in the cellar.

| Give me a break. I think current personnel will have a lot more to do with Drake's success in this state than some win-loss stats in Dr. Tom's first year. If they wanted to throw a wet blanket over the whole thing because Coach K is in Providence that's fine, but don't tell me it's because Kanaskie was a lousy coach five years ago.

| The author is an uninformed idiot. Obviously hasn't been watching what's been going on in this state...especially at Iowa State. Disregard.
