This. Anyone in the 20-25 range can drop out of the rankings without even losing. If a team has a hot run in an early tourney with a few impressive wins, they move into the rankings and have to knock someone out. I have no idea where ISU will open the season ranked but that 20-25 range is a danger zone for teams as far as staying in the polls. I hope ISU is able to keep it going; it's an impressive streak and boosts the overall resume of the Big 12.
When do you project KU's top 25 streak to end?
