Iowa State #9 in AP Poll (1/19)

[2forISU]

Iowa in the top 25th is a joke

We all know that but ISU is in the top 10, enjoy it.

 

[GTO]

How is louisville #10. They have 1 win over a top 50 team.

I think Maryland should be 9 and we should be 10.

I just have one thing to say....go Hawkeyes, beat Wisconsin. (Weeze! Gack! Cough!I need wash my mouth out now.)

Is this the first time ever that ISU, UNI and Iowa have all been ranked at the same time?

Yes, it is; I just saw that on Twitter. Pretty cool for the state of Iowa. I don't care if Iowa is overrated; if they stay in the Top 25 that gives us another road win over a ranked team for our resume in March.

I think Maryland should be 9 and we should be 10.

So you want to do the poll based on results? It is impossible to do so thanks to the transitive property. You have to also take into account how teams are doing currently. We lost to Maryland near 2 months ago.

Yeah Baby!!!!

They play twice here in the next couple weeks. If they can get one of them, that should help us out.

 

[Colorado]

Iowa will be out of the top 25 this time next week. Two road games this week (Wis & Perdue) and then home against Wisconsin the week after.

I cannot provide documentation to prove it, but — 99% certain it is.

 

[swarthmoreCY]

We are #7 if that ball Niang shoots goes in...

Probably top-5 if we hit FTs

Not sure why you think that is a joke….Iowa might actually win that conference….Wisconsin may be winning but not like i thought….Mich St is nothing, Michigan nothing, Indiana who, Nebraska not as good as they thought….

I will keep my hatred for big twelve, i want Iowa to climb those rankings, only makes our drubbing on their court look all the better!!!!

 

[Psyclone Brian]

Look, Iowa being ranked helps our RPI, don't knock it.

 

[CyArob]

Having multiple Top 25 road wins is awesome.

 

[JohnnyFive]

Said the same as soon as I saw it. Whatever though. Makes the win look just that much better.

I can rattle off at least five other teams that deserve it more than they do.

 

[MeanDean]

Just 1 vote has us in 9 over Louisville at 10. ISU 1004 and L'ville 1003.

DMR just confirmed it.

We both have 1 bad loss. Theirs on the road, ours neutral site.
Their best win (us at neutral site) is better than our best win (KU at home)
"Currently" - they just destroyed MSU, I know they aren't as good as usual, but still a good team.
Yes it was 2 months ago, but they did beat us.
They have fewer losses.
They handily beat OkState at their place. We struggled to beat them at home.

I know it is all opinion, and doesn't matter much at this point...but I feel like all signs point to them being ranked higher than us at this point.

The UNC win is all their resume has that stands out, otherwise the rest of their wins aren't impressive. With five losses, they don't deserve to be ranked.

Probably top-5 if we hit FTs

Yup. Normal FT's win Baylor and SCAR games.
