Rankings from AP Poll

The 2013 Iowa Hawkeyes football team represented the University of Iowa in the 2013 NCAA Division I FBS football season. They were led by 15th year head coach Kirk Ferentz and played their home games at Kinnick Stadium. They were a member of the Legends Division of the Big Ten Conference. They finished the season 8–5, 5–3 in Big Ten play to finish in a tie for second place in the Legends Division. They were invited to the Outback Bowl where they lost to LSU, but in June 2023, the loss was vacated due to NCAA violations committed by LSU under then-coach Les Miles from 2012-15.
