Help me understand but I dont understand why this is such a big deal? Ive seen this shared on other platforms and other teams fans are laughing at ISU fans for caring so much on something like this.

Other fans caring about how ISU fans care is like a billion times more obsessive/weird/strange than ISU fans...caring about ISU. Then you caring about how they care about how I care about ISU is yet another level of weird.

I care exactly zero how much (insert team) fans care about an online poll. I think it's fun for ISU but i'm not stressing.

Oh no, how will we recover from being made fun of for caring too much...

It's an online fan poll, once upon a time ISU was known for crushing online fan polls. Some people like to win no matter how little something might matter, what does it really hurt? FFS

Isn't caring that a Michigan fan cares that ISU cares kind of the ultimate "caring too much"?

Certainly not giving a flying **** about fans of other teams is caring less than that.

These were fun until you can now buy blocks of votes and impact polls like these (why does Twitter ruin everything?).

How did this turn into a Big 12 Final Four? Is there some sort of computer club in which these guys battle to build the best auto-vote programs?

Also, as a blue blood institution when it comes to fan-voting, why were we a #10 seed?

We should not have been lower than a 9 seed!

Kidding, kidding. Agree. Sixth at the lowest, #1 otherwise in everything else!!!

Teams were given seeds based off the # of followers on each official account for that school as of Aug 1. Seems like we have about the 40th-most followers on our football account.

I think someone said the seeds were based on the number of followers of the school's official football twitter pages

Duh!
So if you are now following ISU, you should be. not a bad time for FOX to see a passionate fan base. Glad the B12 blew it away.

Ticket sales must be bad for the first two games of the season...
Wow, $22 tics is a great deal! Are most of the other games a sell-out or close to?

and we care how much about what other teams fans think of us?
