Does Iowa State stay ranked?

[madguy30]

Bowl committee has made a big deal out of all being gathered together all weekend and being able to discuss all teams, not just the playoff contenders. Hopefully they kept their focus on the B12 championship game.

Gonna guess they didn't get a one game sub for Cy TV and are still probably only concerned with butts in the seats and money fans will spend in the bowl city.

Now there's this going around...

"Believe it or not, Drake vs. Iowa State could end up impacting the Playoff. The Cyclones winning a close one at home to a non-scholarship program could drop them out of the Top 25. That’s slightly important."

We are pros at two things: complaining and affecting the championship.

I doubt anyone knows or realized they played today. Nothing to see here

We're not playing like the 3rd placed team in the conference. We're going to get way too good of a bowl opponent and get embarrassed.

Not often that a username is so reflective.

Think we’d beat West Virginia again?

From the AP game recap:

"It's hard to believe Iowa State is one of the 25 best teams in America after that debacle."

Who was the AP writer?

Things are never as good nor as bad as they seem.

On the bright side, this is a game we’d normally lose in the past just like the KSU game the week before. If we aren’t Top 25 worthy, so be it.

f Fresno beats Boise, ISU will drop in AP and CFP. (Might drop in AP either way).

 

[CycloneEggie]

Here are the teams around us in the ap poll.
19. Boise State
21. Northwestern
22. Texas A&M
23. Army
24. ISU
25. Fresno St.

Receiving votes. Utah State. Missouri.

In the collage playoff rankings we are 23. One behind Boise and just above Missouri and Fresno. Utah State and Pittsburg dropped out last week. Who is going to pass us up? If Fresno wins Boise will drop. Probably behind us. If Northwestern gets smoked they may drop behind us. Pitt is going to get smoked too. How do Utah State or Missouri sneak above us by not playing. I say we stay put and maybe even move up 1 or even two spots if Northwestern and Boise lose.

Does ISU stay ranked after this close game to Drake? Seriously WTF happened today.

No.

 

[BeneventiCy28]

Think we’d beat West Virginia again?

We already beat them and we won’t play them again, so it doesn’t matter

 

[jdcyclone19]

We will stay ranked. Not many teams playing this weekend and half of them are going to lose. We might drop a spot but it’s not like anyone can really jump us by much.

It’s like meridith. Kind of a **** move.

 

[isufbcurt]

Dumb thread. A win isn't going to get you unranked when 90% of college football teams didn't even play today.

 

[shawn_200m]

Stanford and NC State would be the teams that could theoretically jump us that played today and were previously unranked.

 

[BigJCy]

Fresno beats Boise so they will probably jump us but with Northwestern losing maybe they will fall down below us.

 

[cstrunk]

Yes, we will still be ranked.

 

[besserheimerphat]

#25 in the AP, #26 in the coaches (first "others receiving votes")

 

[Cyclonepride]

21 in the final CFBP poll (the only one that matters)
