We're ranked, boys. CFP #24

[Cyclonepride]

Sure, and it's cool that ISU is in it, but for a 4 team playoff, what does a team ranked #20 mean with a month left?

Of course, that brings into question having a Top 25 poll to begin with.

Should be 16 or 24 w/first round byes for the top 8.

I bet the AP voters take note. Should be ranked after we stomp all over KU

 

[MeowingCows]

Correct. After the CFP rankings come out, they are the only ones that matter going forward.

So... We are "ranked" in the common sense?

Neat.

No one cares about the AP now at this point in the season.

Exactly. The CFP poll is the only one that matters and we are 24.

Eh, CFP matters more if you're actually going to get in the playoff, but AP still holds a lot of weight at the end of the season.

Is this the highest ISU's been ranked? Can't remember if we were ranked last year or not.

Pretty sure we were at 6-3.

At the very end after the holidays to put a bow on the season, but until that time it is all CFP.

Eh, i still think the AP is a better rating, usually.

The CFP committee is so full of **** from week to week, often blatantly placing teams in a 'narrative-creating' manner.

Iowa ranked ahead of Texas is interesting. Both are fake ids

We were 15th I think after beating TCU.

 

[Cardinal and Gold]

It is awesome that we are ranked. The three teams ranked ahead of us do not have a single win over a ranked team. Plus Fresno State lost to Minnesota which should automatically disqualify you from being ranked. Again, I'm super happy we're ranked, but should we be ranked higher based off of these stats?

Them and the Coaches Poll. There will be some dramatic adjustments for the Cyclones now as they don't want people to think they are just mailing it in.

They got up to 15th last year before the loss at WVU.

 

[cyclone2001]

That TCU loss still pisses me. Wish Purdy had started the season.

 

[GTO]

You could argue Iowa is ranked 9 spots too high.
