Looks like 15,16, and 17, and 22 all lost yesterday. Others ahead of us that didn't look great either. With our big win, where do people think we end up today?

I haven't really had to pay attention to this as an ISU and Vandy fan - what time to the rankings come out?

I think 15 to 17 range.

Don't forget stanford barely won and should've lose to a terrible oregon state team.

I am more excited where the CFB committee puts ISU on Tuesday.
 
We'll be 18 or 19. Should be a few spots higher but the voters will have a hard time jumping the Cardinal and Gold 10 in one week.

To be honest, I don't really care. And I'm not sure CMC does either, which is good.

It doesn't mean anything right now. Just keep winning every week, and the ranking will take care of itself. Lose next week, and it won't really matter where we were ranked this week.

I understand it's fun for fans to talk about though, which is what these message boards are for, but it doesn't mean a whole lot.

Just did a quick review and 15 seems about right. Wouldn't be surprised if a bit lower when the rankings come out. Still have that "Not the right name on the uniform" thing working against us.
 
I'm seeing #11. Is that for real?

No, the loss to a below average iowa team is a backbreaker.

Replace the iowa loss with a win against UMass or a Texas State and you are a top 10 team, no doubt.

Non-con SOS would means nothing if you win the Big 12 with 0 or 1 loss. You would have to be in the playoff.

Drop the iowa game and do what is best for Iowa State Football, start looking at Conference championships and major bowls as the goal. Big-time programs have big-time goals, beating an in-state rival was a goal, CMC has raised the bar, we have new goals.
