ISU 16th in the AP & Coaches Poll

Re: AP Top 25

At first glance, it bothered me, since I believe we're one of the 12 best in the country.

After a moment, it looks about right in light of the cray stretch this has been for everyone. It's hard to justify large jumps or falls for most of the ranked teams. So I'm satisfied.
 
I think we're locked in at a 4 seed. Maybe a 5 if we lose bad the first round and the right teams win.

Win the Big 12 tourney and we're a solid 3.
 
I think its pretty extraordinary that this ISU team has been ranked in the national polls for almost the entire year, with the exception of the first 2 weeks. That is just incredible and a testament to how relatively consistent this team has been.
 
We are right between a 3 and four now. Lose ksu and 4 is most likely, win and 3 is most likely. We have a shot at a 2 if we win the big 12s (it would be a toss up between a two and three). RPI matters much more than perception from the AP or coaches.

Agreed. With our resume, if we had "DUKE" or "Louisville" across our jersey's we be in the Top 10.

This, exactly. But we knew this. Better that everyone overlooks us. Remember everyone calling for Notre Dame to thump us, last year?

Yes, our resume is not a lot different than either team. But, whether we like it or not, both of those schools own recent national championships and get rep because of it. We just need to join the club. This is a year where we could do it if the triplets get hot and the rest of the boys join in.
 
Louisville is 4th, and a projected 4 seed. The AP poll is silly. The Big will have 6 teams in the Sweet 16. Mark it down.
 
Jeff Faraudo thinks we are barely top 25. (Coming in at 25 on his poll).

Fletcher Mackel is another strange one. Clones at 23, behind the likes of Harvard, Oregon, VCU, Stephen F Austin..

Most of them are 14-21 which is pretty fair.

Percy Allen of the Seattle Times actually moved Iowa up 1 even though they lost 2 this past week, 1 of which was to a lower conference team at home. Meanwhile he dropped ISU 4 slots for their split. Though his overall list was pretty good.


I guess if I did the poll I probably would have some unpopular choices as well, gotta remember these are just some guys opinions, (even though they are wrong :-) )
 
Don't take stock in these polls. With the invention of twitter, it is a lot easier to see a lot of these guys don't look outside their little worlds, or are morons. Mostly morons.
