I don't think they've done enough to be ranked, but what about you? They did beat a ranked team on the road, and several teams in the 15-25 range lost this week (WVU, Arkansas, MSU, Maryland, Illinois), as did many teams that were close to being ranked (UConn...to Yale, ouch...Creighton, Providence, Florida).
Iowa might eke in, but if they do, it'll mostly be because other teams ahead of them didn't perform well. Also, UNI is sure to be ranked come Monday if they take care of George Mason, which might give Iowa the claim to best state for basketball at the moment if Iowa can also get ranked (Kentucky's probs #1 with UK and Louisville in the Top 5).
Also, it's looking like OSU could pop into the rankings, too, which would mean the Big 12 will have had seven teams (SEVEN) ranked at some point already. Baylor could make it too at some point. Hands down the best basketball conference in the country.
