ISU 18th in latest ESPN power rankings.

I can't complain too much, it's nice to be there. Yet, at the same time, I see some of the teams that still continue to get love. It seems like the good old boy network still goes on.http://www.espn.com/college-footbal...tball-power-rankings-west-virginia-makes-move

I like that TOE fell out ! I know, I know, **** Iowa. But it's good the attention shifts over to ISU instead of it always being them.

TOE can win out the season and still their biggest win of the season will be against us (mind you we were not using Purdy and it was the first game of the season for us vs. their second).

When they go bowling and don’t get some cupcake like they did last year, it will be great to watch the meltdown. Maybe it will be against Florida in the Citrus Bowl.

It really tells you how pathetic the Big 10 West is. I hope Frost can turn it around in Lincoln and beat the **** out of KF and the squawks year after year.

Michigan State #14? Really?

 

[HFCS]

The reason behind "power" ranking is to look at who is doing what lately as opposed to an entire resume. From that definition you can't argue that we're on a roll against what was a very tough slate until yesterday.

Our "recent" in Sagarin is actually #11.

No kidding, Pedo State at 3-3 in the Big 10 gets absolutely pummeled by Michigan and is still "better" than 5-1 Northwestern that went toe-to-toe with ND Saturday?

Next up for the Pedos, Wisconsin and a huge who cares matchup.

It's pretty clear that some teams in the B10 are improving (Mich, Purdue, NW) and some are regressing (OSU, Pedo). MSU and Wisc is hard to predict week to week and with Wisconsin it's a question of if they ever were that good because @iowa is their only impressive W.

Very early in the year when I saw OSU finally had a quarterback who could throw the ball I thought maybe they could be a foil for Alabama, that seems like a total laugher at this point barely beating the Huskers at home.

Impressive for a 3 loss team. Hopefully we don’t lay any eggs in the next 30 days.

To answer your question.... Wisky is NOT good. A 14 pt win over Rutgers at home? KU completely destroyed Rutgers 55-14.

ESPN ranked a ton of SEC and Big 10 schools. Are people really surprised by this? 6 SEC & 6 Big 10, 4 Big 12, 3 ACC, 2 PAC-12.

Apparently, 5-4 Northwestern & Purdue teams are better than an unranked 7-2 Boston College team and 6-2 NC State team. lol

As someone that follows Sparty on the side that baffles even me.

 

[ClonesFTW]

We’re now #25 in the coaches poll FWIW.

 

[heitclone]

Pretty sure yesterday I heard tOSU has 1 win over a team with a winning record. They've played 9 games, only lost 1, that means they've only played TWO teams with a winning record (Purdue was 3-3 when they played so...technically 1). In the one game against a winning team (Pedo State), they squeaked by 27-26.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

Pretty crazy to think we have a legitimate chance at going 9-3

Yep, any team that gets completely dominated by KU is incredibly bad. As I recall the Jayhawks ran for 500 yards in that game.

PU, NW, MSU are all just one loss from dropping out of the top 25. Florida is ranked pretty high considering the beating they took at Mizzo last week. ISU just needs to keep winning games, the rest will fall into place. That TCU game is still smarting a little.

The more and more I think about it, the more afraid I am of Baylor.

5-4, looking for bowl eligibility for the first time in 2 years.

We need to come ready to play, and I'm sure all our coaches and players know that for sure.

That's not how this thing works but yeah it's not Wisky's year.

Really glad that game is at home. More anxious for that game than the UT game.
