BYU is going to jump ISU in the polls. Whatever, just got to keep winning.
They should though. Their wins are better than what we have. And even though it’s not that simple, they just easily dispatched the team that had us all but beat, and did it on their home turf. I am fine with BYU being ranked ahead of us if it happens. We will have our chance.

We had a terrible game with basically 2 pick 6s and still found a way to win. We also are breaking in freshman linebackers …. The fun thing is that the team who beat a top tier SEC team lost to OSU.

We did and I agree with all of that. However, if I had a vote I would vote BYU in front of us. Nothing crazy but probably BYU 9 and Iowa State 10. Right next to each other, but at this point you have to reward resume and they have substance where we really don’t aside from at Kinnick.

Nothing like our fans knocking our own team. We need to act like a top team, which means acting like we belong. And not diminishing ourselves.]

Do you think Texas fans are saying that aren't as good as some team because they had a close win against Vanderbilt? Or are Miami fans acting like they shouldn't be top 10 because they've barely won twice?

We need to act like we belong.

who that is ahead of ISU now would you move down, as of now everyone ahead of us won, so far. I dont see anyone moving us up a spot, at least until someone loses. And I think the aTm/LSU game will just flip spots if aTm wins.

And the 4 behind us, won convincingly.

Then take away any bias you have, and think of how much bias other media types have for the SEC and B1G and tell me how they dont move us several spots down.

If we dont move down several spots I will be amazed.

Predictable response is predictable. I’m not knocking our team in any way by saying I would rank them in the top 10. How is that knocking our team? Wow dude.

I want to see us just keep doing what we are doing and it will all take care of itself.

Looking forward to the national rhetoric that Texas beat another “top 25 team,” even though the same team lost to Georgia State

I believe we belong. I just have very little faith in the voters of the polls to believe that.

Where did I say these were the AP’s rankings? Reading is hard. I said if I had to vote. I would rank us ahead of Clemson and Miami for what it’s worth. Clemson hasn’t beaten anyone with a pulse and got absolutely drubbed by Georgia. Miami, well we all know the only reason they have a zero in the loss column is because of the ACC HQ.

It's just annoying. Believe that we belong.

We like to talk about Campbell's "Bull **** teams care about 6 wins" line. But then when we are 7-0, we have fans like you trying to justify why we aren't as good as we are ranked.

Dude I said I would rank us number 10. Pretty sure I am saying we belong. God some of you are sensitive. Where would you rank us?

And as I posted to speedy, I would have is ahead of Clemson and Miami, so pretty sure I am respecting the hell out of us. Just showing the same amount of respect to BYU who has a pair of wins against current top-25 teams.

I think ISU's good, not great, but the ranking should stick if they're winning.

In the end I think they'll be in the 15-20 range which is fantastic.

It's a fun argument to have!

I just get tired of every podcast talking about how we probably won't get into the playoffs unless we are 12-0. Or that 9 wins would be a devastating season. Or that we don't deserve our ranking.

Now's the time to puff out our chests as fans! If we lose next week, you can come on here and talk about how we don't deserve to be ranked.

Never said you did. I said, that I believe the voters will drop us, because reasons.
