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.
Because everyone knows the bias against us. Not because we fans dont believe. :rolleyes:

I don't think KU will do us a solid tonight, but it would be nice if they pulled the upset

If they get beat next week I'd hope they'd be ranked still.

Obviously we should be.

But I'd put the over/under on Iowa State fans on here saying we shouldn't be ranked at 25.

You want KU to beat KSU? I'd think you'd want the highest ranked KSU you could get on your schedule when you play. No?
More to just give us a little breathing room in case we slip up so we can still make the championship game. Plus K-State's remaining games aren't that difficult outside their trip to Ames

Ever week is different but their game last week was eye opening.

I look for them to get some traction and make that game in KC a tough one.

Unless something significant happens we are dropping at least 2 spots this week, if not more.

My guess is ND, BYU, Indiana, and Alabama, could all jump us. If aTm wins they will too, but may drop LSU behind us, but it will be close.

The bye week after last weeks performance combined with others performances this week is going to hurt us. Bad.

I also am not sure what our "eye test" looks like going into the playoff rankings is at this point.

Just keep winning it should shake out but, the the bias towards the B1G and SEC etc is not going to help our cause.
AP polls mean nothing. I also am of the opinion that one loss in the next four games would not be that damaging To our chances of getting into the Bif 12 championship game.
