This is what I'm talking about. As much as I don't like how the committee has done things basically since they were created, if you go by what they have deemed valuable and worthy of a high ranking in the past, we fit that bill.

I don't know where to put this question so here is as good a spot as any. Can someone refresh my memory on how much Covid has affected our opponents this season, either in severely limiting practice during the week of the game or player losses when we played them?
Kansas State is the only one I can recall but I'm sure there were more I missed.

I haven't had any complaints for the CFP committee this year. They have had us as one of the highest two-loss teams each time. I think last week we were right where we belonged and this week at #9 is higher than I expected.
Not sure where the "no respect" angle comes in. We lost to UL. Even though it was week one, its still a loss and it makes it a tough argument to put us any higher than 8th or 9th

I hate the CFPC in that it even exists and in how they dropped TCU from 3 to 6 for no reason a few years ago...but they've consistently been more fair to ISU than the AP poll these past few years any time we've shown up in it.
Every team ranked in front of us has quality wins or is unbeaten, there's no good argument for us to be ahead of any of those 8.
The AP poll hasn't been that way this year.
Rare air for ISU football to be sure.

He's a moron.
Imagine if Texas had come up to Ames to play in the cold on the same day.
Home field still means something even in this odd year.
ISU went down there, got off to a rough start, then our defense stomped Mensa's squad.
Any road win against a ranked team is earned.
Big 12 really needs to ratchet up the point that the committee claimed that 12 games wasn't enough data points to get into the playoff.
If only 12 games was really bad...6-9 games should be completely disqualified.
Do we jump idle Georgia and Cincinnati after today's game? Where do you all think we land this week? I'm thinking we jump Georgia...idk about Cinci.
I think at this point we've earned to be in front of Georgia at least. We'll see what happens.
Man, thinking about all of the 42-3s I have seen that we have been on the other end of. This is special.
Should jump Georgia who has no good wins
2 lose Iowa State isn't getting in but beating Oklahoma in 2 weeks sets us up really well next year especially with a soft non con highlighted by an overrated Iowa.
Golic sees everything from the viewpoint of the entitled elitist that believe the CFP is there's to lose.
Well, Georgia didn't play this week.
And Cincinnati didn't play this week.
In the committees eyes, we are the team right below them that showed them something worthy of jumping certainly Georgia...and maybe even Cincinnati. I would be shocked if we got as high as 7. But I was shocked they jumped from 12 to 9. There's something this committee really loves about this ISU team. So we'll see Tuesday night.
I think we at least jump Georgia. 7 or 8. Oh, and the 9th ranked jinx is OVER!
We most likely stay put at #9, possibly passing Georgia, but the Cyclones did shut up the 'over-rated' talking heads and fans doubting Iowa State with their stupid game posters.
