RPI back to #10, showdown @#9 looming

[HFCS]

RPI back to #10

We've now beat #1, #6, #7, #23 Neutral, #39, @#51
Losses: @#1, @#19, #26, #151 Neutral

If we win @A&M, without a lot of research, I'd have to assume ISU and maybe Oklahoma would have the best collection of wins in college hoops.

[h=1]Jeff BorzelloESPN Staff Writer [/h]Iowa State now has three RPI top-10 wins (Oklahoma, Kansas, Iowa). No one else has more than one.

We have 3 wins against top ten RPI teams. No one else has more than 1.

This weekend we'll be playing to have 4 wins against the AP "top 5". Oklahoma fans, quotation marks are not for you.

 

[DurangoCy]

If we move into 10, past Iowa I assume, that would give us an OU 2 each. Kinda of an oddity I guess?

Dat UNI loss doe...

Iowa RPI wouldn't be hurt if we beat A&M. But A&M could possibly drop from 9 down to 11 or 12.

Either way at the end of this weekend there's a chance we own wins against 80% of the AP top 5 which would pretty much be unheard of. Most teams wouldn't ever have even played 4 of the top 5 at any point in the year.

Baylor loss stings more because we mailed in a half at home and would be in 1st in B12.

With tonight's win, ISU has a nation-leading 21 victories over ranked opponents in the last 3 seasons. #Cyclones

I don't know, that UNI loss could easily be the difference of a seed line come March, similar to the Drake loss back in 1999-2000.

 

[LindenCy]

I just hope the RPI buoys our seed into the 2-3 range when March comes along.

So basically 1/3 to 1/4 of our schedule for 3 solid years will have been beating ranked teams. That's awesome.

Would like to add, isu and ku 17 wins vs top 25 since 2011, most in the nation. Next is 12

but this year there are more top 10 wins than 1999-2000. I would say winning like we have this year solves the UNI issue.

So UNC loses their 1 seed because they lost to UNI?

Dat UNI loss doe...

If UNC ain't sweating that loss, I ain't sweating that loss.

 

[CySmurf]

Iowa State has now beaten 3 projected #1 seeds from the CBS sports bracketology. Oklahoma Kansas and ugh Iowa.

 

[larry]

Defeating any one of iowa, kansas, or oklahoma is much more gratifying than losing to uni was disappointing, and it's not even close.

We could have been a 1 seed that year but chose the 2 seed so we could play in Minneapolis. Forget where I heard that but remember it being someone credible.
