Iowa State Ranking January 6th

I don't even know that #11 ranking happens. Oregon almost certainly drops below us with their loss today to put us at #12 at least, but I don't know that Duke or Oklahoma State will.
Duke is a blue blood and will probably get the benefit of the doubt and won't drop as low as they should IMO. Maybe Oklahoma State will, but I'm not so sure.

Before the losses today I didn't think we would crack the tip 10. Now I would not be surprised with 9 or 10.
1 Arizona
2 Syracuse
3 Ohio State
4 Wisconsin
5 Michigan State
6 Wichita State
7 Baylor
8 Florida
9 Duke
10 Iowa State
2 Syracuse
3 Ohio State
4 Wisconsin
5 Michigan State
6 Wichita State
7 Baylor
8 Florida
9 Duke
10 Iowa State
My prediction:
#1 Arizona
#2 Syracuse
#3 Wisconsin (overrated)
#4 Ohio State
#5 Michigan State
#6 Wichita State (they should never get above 5)
#7 Baylor
#8 Villanova
#9 Florida (overrated)
#10 Iowa State
#11 Oklahoma State
#12 Louisville
#13 Kentucky
#14 Duke
#15 Colorado (underrated)
#16 Oregon
#17 San Diego State
#18 UMass
#19 Gonzaga
#20 Mizzouri
#21 Illinois
#22 Creighton
#23 Kansas
#24 Iowa
#25 North Carolina
Dropped from rankings: UCONN, Memphis

I'm guessing 11th, based on last week's AP order.
Duke and Oklahoma State have to each drop about five spots for ISU to get to top 10, assuming Oregon gets dunked below ISU (which ought to happen — No. 20 at home over No. 10.)
Every other team above ISU won't dip. That isn't exactly how I'd rank it, but that will be how it lands.
X-Factor is Duke — if voters think Notre Dame is "bad loss," Iowa State reaches 10th.

If they rank Duke at 3 losses above us I'm going to be really ******. Especially since that Kansas loss is looking a little worst.
