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

[MeanDean]

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!!!!

Maryland?

 

[andybernard]

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.

They swept OSU as well. Not breathtaking, but still looks pretty good.

 

[ianoconnor]

I personally agree with Iowa at 25 based on their solid start to the B1G.

 

[Spam]

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

All were ranked earlier this year I think

Uhhhhhh....What? And I think you forgot about Maryland.

Incorrect.

Decent accomplishment. But there's a reason OSU isn't ranked.

 

[EnhancedFujita]

Awesome.

Also noticed K-State didn't get any votes. Thought they might get 1 or 2 with the comeback win over Baylor.

Looking ahead to this week, at least four of the eight teams in front of us have somewhat tricky games to deal with. Wisconsin has two potential losses this week:

Villanova @ Georgetown (tonight)

Iowa @ Wisconsin (Tuesday)
Wisconsin @ Michigan (Saturday, College GameDay site)

Arizona @ Stanford (Thursday)

Notre Dame @ NC State (Sunday)

Iowa State could be in the Top 5 one week from now if these games go the right way.

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

What are the five? Personally, I'd have Stanford in the Top 25, but I don't know who else.

So according to this Fletcher Mackel when you beat Kansas you drop from #12 to #15.

Here is an indicator of where we are as a program ... we lose to a ranked team during the week, but still move up in the rankings.

 

[BallSoHard4Cy]

We received one more point than Louisville. We would kick their ***.

 

[alarson]

Our lowest votes received that also dropped us this week.

**** Vitale-

Dropped us from 14 to 15. Kept Kansas ahead of us at 13. Utah at 10

Fletcher Mackel

Dropped us from 12 to 15. Kansas ahead of us.

Scott Mansch

Dropped us from 14 to 15

Soren Petro

Dropped us from 12 to 14

Chris Dachille

Dropped us from 13 to 14

Andrew Carter

Dropped us from 11 to 14

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.

They also have one ranked win, us. ISU has wins over: now ranked Iowa, was just ranked Arkansas, West Virginia, and Kansas.

I wish people would quit being Maryland apologists. We have a better resume than them, and will continue to do so because we play in the Big 12, and they play in the Little 10.

Beating a top 10 team probably has a little to do with that.

 

[CyFan61]

I wish people would quit being Maryland apologists.

But they beat us!

My poll would be:

9. Maryland
10. Baylor
11. South Carolina
12. Iowa State

 

[Cycsk]

Iowa in the top 25th is a joke

IOLA could be 15-3 . . . if they didn't play in-state teams!

Hahahahaha.

 

[Jer]

As much as I'd love if Iowa lost out the rest of the year, their record to start B1G play warrants a Top 25 placing. Now, saying that, the B1G is so bad this year that Wisky might win it by 4 or 5 games and Iowa could be 2nd, it's that terrible top to bottom. Ohio State, Michigan, Indiana, and Nebraska all look like 8th or 9th place teams in the Big 12 this year.

Stanford, Miami, Oklahoma State, Michigan State, San Diego State
