Guessing Vitale still has Duke ahead of us? (kidding...kind of)
Well, I guess at least he doesn't have Purdue ahead of Iowa State...
For the record, Michigan is still NET 1, UA still NET 2, while ISU is NET 3. Vandy is NET 7 and kNU is NET 11.
**** has been riding Hurley's richard for the past few seasons. He has UConn at 2.
I might be slightly less cynical than you.
Assuming a "respectable" L in Lawrence and a W in Ames against Cincinnati.
We'll drop, but I'm sure the voters will still respect Phog Allen and KU on the brand alone.
So, it would be down a little but not like a stone.
Saturday's game is @Cinci, but that makes the argument even stronger. A respectable loss to the beakers and then beating the paper bags on the road wouldn't drop us much further than 5 IMO
Either way, easiest thing to do is send Bill Self sashaying back to the locker room with a L
Interesting how Mettlen had Ariz #1 and ISU #3 last week, then he swapped the position of those two (dropping U-M, of course). His is UA's lowest/sole #2 vote.
Equally impressive that some "coach" has Iowa State 18 and Arizona 13, in case you needed some support in ignoring that thing

Edit: Its the highest/lowest of the season. Point stands, SID poll sucks

I read that as the lowest vote received for the entire season. Not sure though, the write-up isn't exactly clear.Equally impressive that some "coach" has Iowa State 18 and Arizona 13, in case you needed some support in ignoring that thing

It’s for the year. So our high is 2 and lowest rank was 18. Isu received a 1st place vote
I think we are in uncharted territory for an ISU team.
Every win will increase the pucker factor. Some more than others. It really illustrates how amazing Indiana's feat in '76 was.
idk if anyone has posted this before but i really like this website: JThom Analytics - Sports analytics your eyes will love
I really enjoy how they map out the toughest games you have left and how many wins to get projected seedings. It looks like Iowa State needs 29 wins to get a 1 seed for example.

I like to think of things like this to partially relax my pucker-level: suppose the wheels fall off and we lose every remaining "A"-level game, that's 21-10 in the regular season; pretty damn good floor! Now every win out of that bunch brings us up from that floor.
I find it helps to think of it that way rather than like we're already at the top and every loss knocks us down.
Weird gym and team/program, they're due for a big game, ISU possibly coming off a big emotional win in Lawrence.
It's certainly possible.
