I know. When we first cracked the rankings, I never imagined we would remain ranked for the rest of the season..pretty impressive.

No discernible patterns to any of them.
Bozich seems the most thoughtful, but maybe only because he spent a few seconds explaining his votes.

I don't think anything will change for ISU. I think ISU will stay right where it was in both polls.
I decided to take a look at the teams 10 - 20.
St. Louis - 2 losses (Duquesne, and VCU)
Cinncinati - 2 losses (Louisville and UCONN)
Virgina - 2 wins (Miami and Cuse)
San Diego State - 2 wins (San Jose State and Fresno State)
Wisconsin - 2 wins (Indiana and Penn St.)
15 ISU - 1-1 (WV and KSU)
Michigan 2 wins (Purdue (OT) and Minnesota)
Kentucky 2 losses (Arkansas and South Carolina)
Mich St. 2 losses (Michigan and Illinois)
North Carolina 2 wins (NC State (OT) and VT)
Iowa 2-1 L (Minny and Indiana) W (Purdue)
ISU should be at worse 16 or possibly bump up 1 or 2. Michigan and perhaps UNC may be the only teams I can see jumping in front of ISU. I expect both St. Louis and to drop below 15. I doubt many voters will hold a loss at KSU agains the Clones, especially with all the teams below them haveing multiple losses.

Somebody with a CBS account set Hawks42football straight. He seems to think only KU has more Top 50 wins than Syracuse with 7 (Clones have 8). It doesn't matter in the CBS top 25+1, but you gotta represent the Big 12.
I'd say no way we're the top 10 team in the country, but it's hard to slot any team within the top 25 because this year has been a rather large cluster.
Still, we could finish anywhere 2nd - 5th in conference with just two games to play...

Michigan and UNC will pass us, and we should pass Saint Louis, so 16th sounds right.
North Carolina won 2 games last week so I won't be shocked to see them crack the top 10 because the AP has a hard on for them.
