Espns algorithms are a joke. CFP is all that matters and I’d expect we are up to 6 after the WVU slaughter.
Their Wisconsin, Penn St, and LSU ratings just prove that their FPI system is broken.This is the FPI, which has ISU 12 and Iowa 13. It really really likes Wisconsin, Texas, Oregon, Penn State, and LSU. I'm shocked.

I think we would beat UL pretty easily now but all I can go on is the on the field results. Coastal beat them and we didn’t.I feel like Louisiana is a Baylor/Texas Tech/K-State quality team that we played horribly against in game one. If Louisiana played one of those teams, I think the Ragin' Cajuns would be favored by like 4 points.
Ya... anal all rightIsn't this power rankings more of an analytical rating?
After this weekend's games, ISU is 12, Iowa 13 in ESPN's Power Rankings.
How is that possible. Of Iowa's 7 opponents, 6 have 2 wins on the season. One, NW, is 5-1. They have played one ranked team.
ISU has played 5 ranked teams and of our 10 opponents 6 have non losing records.
