Nebby 56 Seems high
They're trash...and it's awesome!
So does Michigan at 13.Nebby 56 Seems high
. I can see us back in the top 25 when the polls come out today.
#20 SOS before we play OU or Texas, could be another top 10 SOS year.
Our average opponent rank so far: 56.5
Our average opponent rank the rest of the season: 35 (KU really dragging that down)

Poor Nebraska Huskers ...They lost their in state recruiting base and are now AlsoRans in the Little 14 conference...trying to run with the big boys, will always get you run over....Ain't that right, Scott Frostbite!
If we're #20 SOS with a 56.5 average opponent rank, then for sure we'll be top ten with our remaining schedule.
We are # 15 in S&P+ this week.
Interestingly enough, we are ranked ahead of both teams we lost to.

Two of the voters who ranked ISU highest (both #20), one is a Lubbock sportswriter. So if ISU wins, he's likely to bump up his ranking.

Two voters have Iowa State #22 -- one is a radio guy in Leawood, Kan., the other a sports writer in Charleston, W.Va. A lil' Big 12 home-cookin' doesn't hurt.
Only other Midwest voter with us in top 25 is from Pioneer Press, the rest come from East, South and West. Rece Davis has ISU #25.

I remember that one year were we won a bunch of games in a row and went into Norman ranked.
Nope. Never happened. And ISU has never been ranked #9.
I look at some of the ballots and wonder how a lot of these guys got selected as voters.
If Iowa State ever played Iowa's role of the fake-id of college football, that season was it. OU just pulled the curtain back.
I just remember it being the perfect storm for OU to flex and ISU to...not. Looked like OU had about 20 players on the field.
I think the word was that team was cliquey or didn't get along very well and being a house of cards likely contributed to generally not being very good anyway.
It's posts like this that require a "Sad" emoji.
