BCS computers like Iowa State (relatively speaking)

[Tre4ISU]

Listen I am content with where we are but we don't have a good loss or a quality win. Texas is close but they aren't a top 5 teams. They will struggle to reach a bowl. It is what it is.

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]A friend of mine who works on the ESPN College Gameday website (also an ISU grad) spent part of his afternoon looking this up. It's the six BCS computer rankings and where they have Iowa State. It's interesting - and surprising - to see how we rank in the unbiased computer polls.

31.8 - Iowa State's week 9 ranking by average of the six computer polls that are used in the BCS standings.[/FONT]
Iowa State received zero votes in the two human polls that are used in the BCS standings.
