UnC lost. Wisconsin lost. Indiana and Miami were thumped. Louisiana got whooped. WilI probably be ranked very close to Iowa. I bet they jump quite a bit.
There is a tendency for rankings of next week’s matchups to move towards each other. It serves the ESPN hype machine.

Who cares what the number is, just keep getting the Ws
The number won’t mean **** if we don’t keep getting the W. One game at a time. It wasn’t pretty and I know the fan base is expecting more than the performance we saw today. All we can do is continue to support these young men.

JFC, we WON today. Wasn’t pretty, but it was a W. Might slide a spot or two, but 11-16 spots? Settle down, pour yourself some Cody Road and RELAX.
Not all W's are the same, though.

It's totally and completely fair for Iowa State fans to not be happy with what happened on the field today. We're all happy the Cyclones won but there's no reason a team the Cyclones outmatch so badly in talent should be in such a close game.

I would guess we will be somewhere from 7-10
Iowa will be 13-16.

Iowa is in the drivers seat this year now that I look at it. If they get past ISU, they play 2 more ranked teams all regular season. 1 home and 1 on the road.....They will probably drop a game or two knowing Iowa, but man that sets up nice for them. (if they get past us).

Washington just lost to Montana. They’ll drop from the rankings. We’ll drop a little but not a ton.

I think the best FCS teams these days are actually really good. Wouldn’t have the depth to get through an FBS season but they have talent.

Couldn't care at all what we are ranked next week.

This game lacked energy all over, including the stands. It was like watching the Hawkeyes play against the Hawkeyes. Nothing flashy, nobody beat themselves. Very vanilla day

That is a fine way to play , but the game was in doubt till the last min, against UNI. A team that is going to win 4-5 games this season
