Re: 1/25 ranking
Honestly I think we've been a 10-15 range team for 3 years consecutively now.
We're almost always a little overrated when higher than that, and it's always a little ridiculous the teams you have to put in front of us to be lower than that. I don't think we were ever really #2 and I also don't think there are 18 teams that are harder to beat than ISU.

Re: 1/25 ranking
Gonna guess #15. Wonder how far they drop OU? I suppose #2, with NCar at #1 if they win at VTech which I assume they will. With so many going down in front of them it appears the Hawks will be top 5. Ugh. They have so many complimentary pieces and so many guys who can hit threes with OU-type percentage. It really doesn't appear there's any team in the Big10 that has enough combination of defenders to slow them down.

Re: 1/25 ranking
It's pretty crazy how many top teams have been losing. It's a wide open field this year. Going to be fun in March. There isn't a single team that I don't think we can play with this year

Re: 1/25 ranking
We fell too far after uni and crazy we fell after OU but had no gain with cincy. We have fallen but not risen much all year because after UAB folks are leary to get on the ISU bandwagon.

Re: 1/25 ranking
If we continue to win then Iowa won't matter at all. Based on the upcoming opponents I think ISU has a chance to pass Iowa even if Iowa doesn't drop any bad games.

Oh and 12. I think voters will begin to forgive the BU and UT losses with the way we've played lately.

Just remember their football season... Played no one great, ended in a train wreck. Fairly confident we will see that in March.

Re: 1/25 ranking
Iowa has peaked while ISU is getting out of the valley as a team while facing some tough adversity (new lineups, getting used to new coach). And with ol' Fran in Iowa City, there's always room to fall apart.

Except Iowa leads the nation in Sagarin top 25 and top 50 wins in basketball, unlike football.
