Iowa State officially out of the AP Poll Top 25

[Darius Bieber]

I believe they didn't even get enough votes to be "in the consideration" part of the poll either.

Honestly, even if we win out, very unlikely we get back in the Top 25. Not like the AP Poll matters anyways.

If we win out, we'll be back in, as OU, @UT and TT wins will all be solid.

 

[Al_4_State]

We deserve to be out.

Yes they did. We are ‘28th’

New Mexico St got 1 vote and is listed. We are 28th with 58 points.

True, however the likelihood of that happening with the way we've been playing is 0%..

Oh dang, so we dropped 9 spots. Didn't see that.

"20. Iowa State (15): If you haven’t noticed, this is the Big 12 portion of our Power 36. The Cyclones are still a team that could get to the second weekend."

Not even close to accurate. If we won out, we'd probably be back in the top 20.

That's the March Madness/Bracket rankings directly from NCAA, not the AP or Coach's poll.

No its not. Those are Andy Katz's power rankings.

Shhh. You can’t post anything that has Iowa state still being remotely good. Season is over didn’t you get the memo?

False. Those are Katz’ personal ballot rankings.

 

[CyGuy5]

Not like we deserved to be ranked after last week anyways

Strike 3. You're out.

Personally I think dropping out of the top 25 is the best thing that could happen to Iowa State. Historically we underperform whenever we're ranked. We seem to play better when we feel we're not getting any "respect" from the national press.

 

[acgclone]

Maybe this will be a wake up call for the team.

With that said if they win 2 of their next 3 they’ll probably get back in.

Other teams lose too at this point in the year.

Still 15th in the NET?

It's amazing, then, that we managed to stay in the rankings for nearly 3 seasons straight. That's a lot of underperforming.

Yep. The key is righting the ship. Michigan State lost three straight, including one to Indiana at home and another at Illinois. They've lost two starters. But they've managed to win five in a row, including one at Michigan. There's still plenty of time to get hot, but late February isn't generally when you want to run into adversity. The next two weeks are huge.
