We finished the season ranked #23!

[ISUChippewa]

In the coaches poll. I'll copy and paste below.

All in all, not too bad for team picked to finish last in the Big 12.

On freaking ESPN?

 

[CoachHines3]

should be an ap poll come out I'd imagine here for the end of the year? maybe?

 

[madguy30]

I'm a little surprised there aren't 10 B1G teams in it.

At least!

Rankings are really meaningless. The Clones end up at 23 and the Iowa Chokeyes and it's 1st Round exit only losses 2 spots in the rankings to settle in at 21.

And we beat them by 20.....

I think this is the coaches poll.

Yeah but they beat up on teams like Nebraska and Northwestern, so they had a great season.

 

[Cyforce]

Yeah but they beat up on teams like Nebraska and Northwestern, so they had a great season.

And they almost beat Rutgers.

Nebraska won at WI who would have been middle of the B12 (at best) though! Surging!

AP's final poll is prior to the tournament.

AP does not do a post-tournament poll

 

[CoachHines3]

AP's final poll is prior to the tournament.

Ah!

 

[NoCreativity]

And they almost beat Rutgers.

They did beat Rutgers.

 

[acoustimac]

They did beat Rutgers.

Once…and lost to them the other time…

 

[CYTUTT]

If they post the poll prior to the tournament, then how did NC go from out of the poll to number 2? By that reckoning, ISU should be top 16!

This is coaches poll

 

[HFCS]

Too low.

8th when conference play started.

Sweet 16.

League should have 6 ranked teams and an extra tourney bid or two.

TCU should easily be top 25. Texas should be ranked too but f them.

 

[stormchaser]

Should have been in front of both Iowa and Wisky at least. Oh well, meaningless at this point. We just need to keep proving them wrong!! It was a great season. GO CLONES!
