You just have to vote for your top 5, don't vote for mich st so we can pass them and etc with who is right ahead of us.

It's fun just being on the board.

I ranked ISU 6th. Why not?

For those who wonder why I didn't put Iowa State No. 1 — I'm not completely delusional.

Only partly delusional. :v_SPIN:

But I see no reason not to be above MSU, Houston, Georgia Tech and TCU.

Iowa State one of the top vote getters for 1st place. But superconferences don't believe that anyone cares about Iowa State

As of right now, we have 204 first place votes (5th most), yet are still in 28th (ahead of Houston and Auburn).

Filling out this top 25 made me realize how many teams we have good reasons to hate now?

Professional teams that didn't get punished much? Auburn, OSU, USC, Oregon...

Big 12 teams that were giant hypocrites about revenue sharing? OU, A&M, Nebraska

Big 12 team that started it all with their own TV Network? Texas

Big Ten teams just for being overrated? Pretty much all of them, how was Penn State rated this year? Iowa had a much better claim to start the season ranked.

Notre Dame for the same reason.

Personally I think you don't get taken very seriously when you vote for a team that isn't even in the top 25 as #1. I'm sure there are a lot of people who see the number of 1st place votes and just shake their head and chuckle.

Agreed. However, name a school that has played 3 better teams than we have and are 3-0. I say no one. Nobody will give us credit for the UNI win, but they are definitely a quality opponent.
