Higher than I would have thought.

 

[Acylum]

The more of these that come out, the madder Hawk fans become.

 

[cyclone19702]

Really suprised Mizzou is at 81. The best team we play out of conference is Tennessee at 43.

 

[Bret44]

The entire Big 12 is in the Top 50...

You mean fans of the team that is ranked behind every single Big 12 team?

 

[TykeClone]

The entire Big 12 is in the Top 50...

Including Kansas? Not sure of their methodology if true

This is about basketball so ya...

 

[Cyclonepride]

Curious how they come up with rankings for teams that haven’t played?

L.O.L. Basketball dude.

L.O.L. Basketball dude.

Well heck. No excuse for that

 

[MeowingCows]

I'll take 34th without a single complaint.

 

[mb7299]

That'd put us at 6th in conference so thats not bad, I can agree with 34th.

Mizzou is not #81 this year. They could win the SEC. Last year must be heavily weighted in the formula.

No chance Mizzou wins the SEC.

 

[HoopsTournament]

No chance Mizzou wins the SEC.

I wouldn't say no chance. Yes Kentucky is the favorite, but Mizzou is probably the second best team in that conference.

 

[NorthCyd]

I would take that ranking in a heart beat, but how could that number be anything but absolutely meaningless when it comes to ISU?

 

[NWICY]

Mizzou is not #81 this year. They could win the SEC. Last year must be heavily weighted in the formula.

The road to the SEC title runs through Lexington Ky. Counzo (Spelling?) has himself a lot of good parts on that team, but he still has to beat Kentucky to do it. I don't see them winning the SEC. I would take that KenPom ranking in a heart beat if they would guarantee it at the end of this season today, that would get us in the NCAA's again.

 

[FredCyclone]

It is a rebuilding year, it is going to get ugly at some parts of the season, hope Prohm can work his magic to get us to the tournament,

 

[nocsious3]

I don't know if that Kenpom ranking will end up being very accurate, but I do know that Iowa State will be in the top 10 teams in the Big 12 conference.

wow, for those who dont have a subscription, the algorithm projects we go undefeated until we play Okie state.
