RPI jump

[kilroy]

We jumped to 31, that 14 spots with our win over KSU!

They only dropped 4 spots.

That should help seeding, hope the team breaks the top 25. ROAD DOGZ!

That's impressive. Just imagine what a good week this week might do for ISU.

[LindenCy]

Wow, that is great news! Let's just grab a few more wins and see how low we can go.

beat either Mizzou and Baylor it will be 25 and beat both then finish out around 20

Many times this season this team has shown the talent to beat top 25 teams but not the consistency to be a top 25 team. I think we would need to beat both Mizzou and Baylor to break the top 25.

Not that I want us to lose straight, but losing 3 straight wouldn't knock us down further than 40.

Our SOS should be in the top 25 after our last 3-5 games. Hate to say "I told you so" but our fans here hating on our SOS early in the year were pretty blind.

Agree to disagree, i think ISU has played consistent to be a top 25 team. 11-5 in the big 12 says alot

Missouri is down to 15. Sweet.

Except for the fact that our non con SOS was very weak...we played two tournament teams non conference, that's not a challenging schedule at all.

[Cincyclone]

Also HFCS, our current SOS is 60. It won't go up all the way to the top 25.

If you end up with a SOS in the top-40, your non-conference schedule was strong enough. As it has been said many times, with playing in the Big 12, there is little benefit to having a non-conference schedule more difficult than this year's.

Oh I agree but it seemed like HFCS was trying to see our non con SOS was strong. It wasn't.

[Nycclone]

Our non conference opponents went 8-2 and some teams ahead of us lost as well yesterday so that may have factored in.

[SvrWxCy]

The more wins any of our non-conference opponents rack up the higher our RPI will climb too, 50% of the RPI formula is the opponents win percentage.

Funny how the media wants to back up their rankings from the beginning of the season. They keep k state as high as possible and don't really want to rank us. Preseason ranking really do mean something, it means the media is behind you all year.
