Iowa actually outperformed expectations by a lot

[Jimmy Cinnabon]

By seed they were slated to finish 9th and they finished 5th. This is actually a really great performance by them.

All the hoopla with gambling and the Ferarris and they almost doubled their predicted placement.  Hats off to Iowa and the Brands.  May their reign continue forever and ever.

The difference between 5th and 9th was only 6.5 team points. They didn't do that much better.  Not a whole lotta difference between 2 and 10 this year.
