***Official College Football Playoff Rankings***

[ISUCyclones2015]

Was "firmly entrenched" a shot at us?!?!?!

 

[cyclonedave25]

Welcome to our highest ranking in school history!

 

[jctisu]

Reece with the immediate diss on us.

 

[CyGuy5]

Is 7 the highest Iowa State has ever been ranked? I was super young for the Seneca years so I have no idea

Seneca's 02 team got up to #9 in the rankings

 

[Cyched]

Of course they have Ohio State #4

 

[Busch__Latte]

Of course they have Ohio State #4

What did you expect? I'd rather that than 2 SEC teams, Clemson and ND

 

[jctisu]

Let’s pull a 59-0 drubbing on OU just like Ohio State did to Wisconsin in the first iteration of the CFP of to sneak in. At least make the committee have to pause for a second.

Didn't expect anything else.

 

[Cyclones_R_GR8]

Every time they say "eye test" everyone drink!

 

[jctisu]

I would argue with Palmer though that Ohio State hasn’t yet passed the eye test. They honestly haven’t looked that good for half of the games they have played. And they haven’t played anyone worth a crap other than Indiana, who they almost lost to and Fields looked like garbage against.

 

[CySmurf]

Kind of unreal to believe we've got to a place where they think only 6 teams are better than us in the entire nation. I think it awesome!

 

[CoKane]

Path to the playoffs:
We beat OU(obviously)
Florida gets run by Bama
A&M loses to Ole Miss or Tennessee
Ohio State doesn't play again or loses

Don't think this is actually going to happen but the fact we can even talk about this is crazy

Yes

 

[clonedude]

I still can't believe Iowa is 16th. Who have they beaten?? Absolutely nobody.

Agreed. Don’t worry about being ONLY #7. Take a step back and realize where you are. Pretty awesome

 

[cytown]

ESPN only showing the top 6 in their little discussion. So stupid.

I don’t think we can just win though. We have to put on a show and trounce them to even get a look.

If we beat OU handily (not likely, just a hypothetical) would we be able to jump a non-SEC champion Tammy?

If they don't put OSU in the Big 10 championship, we might be stuck cheering for Iowa
