I've seen talk here of ISU being ranked too low at no. 5, and I've seen talk of them not being deserving of the top 10. So I decided to quickly put this together. It's the AP top 10 teams, randomized and blinded, with only their wins over top 100 opponents and their losses. Rankings are via one of the main computer ranking systems. Letter/symbol before the opponents is home/neutral/away.

---
TEAM A
good wins: h32, n43, n84
losses: @15
---
TEAM B
good wins: n28, n35, n80
losses: n2
---
TEAM C
good wins: n29, @36, h54
losses: none
---
TEAM D
good wins: n4, h45, @70, h92
losses: none
--------
TEAM E
good wins: n10, h13, n18, h29, n64
losses: none
-------
TEAM F
good wins: n32, n41, h40
losses: n6
------
TEAM G
good wins: n16, h85
losses: @25
------
TEAM H
good wins: n3, h53
losses: @28
-----
TEAM I
good wins: h21, n31, h78
losses: none
------
TEAM J:
good wins: n24, h27, n33, n40, @48
losses: none

I'll list the actual teams in a few hours. For the record, when I did this, I put Iowa State at, well, no. 5.

What I'm getting from this is if we lose to Oklahoma, we should jump in the polls.

Ku is team A i assume
Kansas hasn't played a true road game. Their loss to Michigan State was at a neutral site so that leaves them as either Team B or Team F. Until I know what you used for your rankings, it's pretty pointless to rank them.

Ill take the option that is undefeated and has wins over Chattanooga, Iowa, VTech, Illinois, Colorado, ArkPB, Chicago State, plus two other wins. Not losing to Augustana in an exhibition is also a plus.

Give me E
