Didn’t Danny Mac make it up to either 7th or 9th before losing multiple in a row?

McCarney got to #9 from what I remember.

 

[CyCrazy]

Is this a who has won the most games at ISU? Well its Danny Mac

 

[Peter]

McCarney got to 9 before that team completely imploded. Started with a 45-3 shellacking in Norman when Seneca went 2-21 passing. Don’t think the offense even went over 100 yards that day.

Edit I get it and Yes Mac got us to 9, the rest woof.

Re: Duncan: Iowa State rose to #11 in 1981, with 5-1-1 record ... dropped out after losing to Kansas State.

Wasn't Donnie D's high-water mark better than that? I was in school then, and I thought we started 5-0, and oranges were raining down on the field the next game (Big 8 had an Orange Bowl tie-in). Didn't even make any kind of bowl, though :-(

See my previous post. (You're referencing '80 with 5-0 start, ISU's highest was #19.)

 

[CysRage]

I think the CFP ranking had us #6 before the Big 12 Championship

Yeah, were any of the OP's list correct?

From what I can tell ... no.

Looked it up...49-3 and Seneca had 4 completions.

BIG difference for optics I know.

I think they had like 60 yards of offense.

And then the rest of the season happened.

They kept sending 2 safeties from the blindside putting Seneca in panic mode. Then our receivers were locked down at the LOS. It was a train wreck.

Good post. Didn't the Seneca Wallace team crack the top ten.

1/6.

What about Criner and Walden?

What about Criner and Walden?

Pop Warner went 8-2 once!

Just trying to have a little fun. Paul had some huge wins, but after thinking, I don’t think he makes the list.
