What will Iowa state be ranked?

Vols just got boat raced, they should be fringe top 10 at best.
If Broome is out any significance length of time, I think they’ll drop a couple and we’ll have our opportunity to jump them then.
They'll be #2 with Duke #3. Beat Kansas and if Auburn falters with the injury great chance at #1.
We got one first place vote back in the week 6 poll to Auburn's three and were only 14 points out of being #2 at that time. That poll released just two weeks after we played head to head.
I predict we will get some first place votes this week as well, possibly double digit if pollsters take into account Auburn's Broome facing an injury. Duke has not yet received a single first place vote but likely will receive some as well
It won't impact their tournament resume though. Auburn will get a free pass on a loss or two with Broome out.
My guess is this.
1: Auburn
2: Iowa State
3: Duke
4: Alabama
5: Florida
6: Marquette
7: Tennessee
8: Kentucky
9: Kansas
10: Houston

Love every part of this however i see KU and tennessee being swapped. TU being boatraced wont help them. If they get to stay in the top 10 that would be a shock IMO
Saturday's game at West Virginia will be tough as well.
Absolutely. If they lose a couple while he’s out, those games won’t hurt as bad. But, I’m looking at the potential for ISU to be ranked #1 at some point this season.
I agree with this.
I us losing to @Tech, @WVU, @KU, @AZ, @Houston.
We just beat Tech, so would be really nice to get the WVU road game also.
With unbalanced scheduling its going to be a dog fight to win the league.
There were at least 2 voters that had Duke 2nd behind Tennessee, including a guy from North Carolina. I assume at least 1 of them will have Duke #1.
History, the committee has often negated the loss of some of their favorites due to injury.
We'll see. Its still just 1 game and they have several good wins.
I get that...we all do. But as fans...this is something we have never seen before...and yet many (all) of us have thought and wondered how it would feel to see ISU listed as #1 at some point. We are just fans...it is fun to think about and having the potential to witness it just once would be cool!
That one actually scares me more than Kansas right now
And Duke nearly blew a 17 point with under 7 minutes to play at home vs ND. ND got the game down to 4 points with about 40 seconds left IIRC
