Looking for the weekly coaches (UPI) rankings for the 1958 season

I need this to reference Wikipedia material. Iowa is claiming the 1958 season as a national champion ship season even though they went 8-1-1 and LSU went 11-0. They think they have a legit claim.
Iowa went into the rose bowl number 4 in the AP poll and beat number 17 California badly to move up to number 2 in the AP. LSU shut out number 12 Clemson to remain number 1 in the AP poll a spot they held since week 7.
Iowa fans are claiming they were number 2 in both polls and the championship was handed out before the bowls. The championship was given to LSU before the Sugar Bowl but before the bowls Iowa was number 4 in the AP not 2. And LSU gained more first place votes in the AP after the bowls were finished to stay number one due to LSU’s impressive shutout win over Clemson.

I need to see the weekly coaches rankings to fix some more bias Wikipedia writings.

Iowa claims five BS national championships but they say the 1958 is their only legit one. No lie.

Iowa was #2 on December 1st, they somehow miraculous jump from 4 to 2 a week after they all won their last game.

1958 is officially recognized by the NCAA. They must have been awarded it by the FWAA.

ETA: here’s the list of the Grantland Rice trophy winners (FWAA National Champs)

Yeah I just caught that. They magically moved up the rankings and so did California without playing a game. I guess they were trying to promote the Rose Bowl back then.
