Poll: ISU regular season wins
- Thread starter cyclones500
- Start date
I would like to think so, too. I'm just not sure what the Big 12 is going to hold this year overall.
When I went through the schedule I picked out 5 losses, so I'll say they lose one more than that and go with 24-6. I predict losses to:
At Baylor
At KU
Lose one of at UT or at OU
At WVU
At KSU
For the 6th, we either get upset at Vandy or at TTU or TCU. I think we go undefeated at home. I think we win the Advocare Inv.

Breaking it down, I’ll say 22 wins:
10-2 in non-con with a losses either @ Vandy, @iowa or Advocare Final
12-6 conference with running the table at Hilton with all losses on the road expect for @ TCU, Tech and K-State
Sorry Koolaid drinkers, I don’t see 25+ wins (that would require at least a 11-1 non-con and 14-4 conference record) but would love to be proven wrong.
Edit: Forgot about the Vandy game in the middle of conference play. I'll still stick with 22 wins though.

Loss @iowa?!?! Have you seen their team? Iowa is a .500 team.
I picked 22 but was actually thinking including the Big XII tournament. Didn't read the question correctly.
I always think of the 'regular' season as the record going into the Big Dance because that's what's important for selection and seeding. But I know that's not really right.

Including the Big 12 tourney as regular season is reasonable assumption. I should've made it more clear in the thread intro.
Edit: My main reason not to include conference tournament is, because it's a poll, the W comparison would be more consistent--- some people might guess ISU plays only once in KC (going 0-1), others might tally it as 3 games (3-0/2-1).
The ranking so far, as of midnight EST Nov. 12, percentages rounded (12 hours until poll closes):
1. 23 (31%)
2. 22 (24%)
3. 24 (17%)
4. 25 or more (16%)
5. 21 (9%)
6. 20 (3%)
7. (tie) 19; 18 or fewer (0)

According to every coach I've ever heard, all that matters is that they win the next one. I don't have enough fingers to know for sure but I think that adds up to somewhere between 25-40 wins.
