The poll was released on Monday morning tabbing the Cyclones at No. 21, one spot behind in-state rival Iowa.

Oklahoma (4) and Texas (10) are the only other Big 12 teams ranked.

To the surprise of nobody, defending champion Clemson is the top-ranked team in the country with Alabama coming in at No. 2
