ESPN has their list of the overrated/underrated teams in the last 10 years. The Big 12 has been heavily overrated, most notably Nebraska. ISU was one of the 3 Big 12 teams underrated (K-State, Texas Tech) mostly because we are never ranked in the preseason polls. But good to see ISU on espn in a positive way, as small and unimportant as it might be.
Although I appreciate their effort to be objective, I suspect that the biases in the pre-season rankings were still present -- albeit tempered with a small dose of reality -- in the final rankings. Accordingly I think their results are conservative.

not what they are told but what they see.

Was reading Sporting News and SI in the car this weekend and one of them predicted us 4-8 with 1 win in the conference. So then I go to see what the Hawks are projected which is 9-3 with 3 conference losses so I assume that means they think we beat Kent State, UNI, Toledo, and 1 Big 12 team. Personally I think we win 2 Big 12 games and lose to Toledo and probably Iowa hence my 4-5 win prediction. Who knows, I'm just ready to see the boys play!
