I know, I know...it's way too early to be talking about 2010 when a majority of 2009's bowl games haven't even been played yet.

But I'm not the only one.Nationalchamps released its Early Bird Preview last week, and it ranks Iowa ninth in its first preseason poll. Both have been rumored to be possible early exits from Iowa City and could be picked very high in the 2010 NFL draft if they decide to leave school.ESPN draft guru Mel Kiper ranks Bulaga second out of all draft eligible junior tackles and Spievey fourth out of all draft eligible junior corners.In the last decade, many more schools have had to deal with players leaving college early to pursue NFL careers. But Iowa has been relatively immune to the exodus.Other than Shonn Greene and Dallas Clark, Iowa hasn't had many players decide to leave early, largely because of the types of players they recruit.Many Iowa players are undersized, but their strength and determination make them terrific players in college. Players such as Pat Angerer and Mitch King have been All-Americans at Iowa, but are not top draft prospects due to their size.But Spievey and Bulaga are different. Both have had excellent careers at Iowa, but unlike their teammates, they have the build and talent to be elite players at the next level.Neither player will reveal his decision before Iowa's bowl game on Jan 5, but they would still have time to declare before the Jan 15 deadline. And we will undoubtedly see many more juniors declare in the next few weeks.But why is leaving early from school so popular After all players could always go to the NFL after their senior year.
