Iowa State Ranking January 6th
- Thread starter JackCyclone
- Start date
Nature of the polls — WSU was ranked top 20 in preseason AP, and hasn't lost. Iowa State was unranked (no votes in AP), and climbed its way up.

Up 3 for both.
So everyone's moved us up 2 or so. The guy who had us real low moved us up 6. Safe to say top 10?
I'm guessing anywhere between 8 and 11. I'm guessing 11 because we are Iowa State and that's the way things happen sometimes. When you're #13 versus #8, rankings don't matter a ton - just win. Though yes the rankings can definitely have an impact on your seeding come tournament time.

This coming week:
#1 Arizona will play at UCLA (12-2) Thursday night.
#2 Syracuse plays at Virginia Tech (8-5) Tuesday and then will host North Carolina (10-4) Saturday. I hate UNC, but I hope they knock off the Cuse from the unbeatens.
#3 Ohio State at #5 Michigan State Tuesday night. Huge game!! Ohio State probably would not fall more than 4 or 5 spots with a loss, since they are unbeaten and it would be a loss to a top 5 team. Michigan State would only be their 2nd loss, so they wouldn't drop too far, probably just barely out of the top ten though. Michigan State will then hose Minnesota (12-3) on Saturday.
#4 Wisconsin will host Illinois (13-2) Wednesday. Wisconsin is good, but not a top 5 team. They almost lost at home to Iowa last night. In fact, Iowa had that game under control until their ****** of a coach threw a huge fit and got ejected.
#8 Wichita State (will probably be #6 Monday) hosts Illinois State (8-6) Wednesday. Should be an easy win for the unbeaten Shockers. Wichita State then plays at Missouri State (11-3) on Saturday.
#11 Villanova (will probably be #8 or 9 Monday) goes at Seton Hall (10-5) Wednesday and then to St. John's (9-5) Saturday.
#12 Florida (will probably be #9 Monday) hosts South Carolina (7-6) Wednesday then goes on the road to Arkansas (11-2) Saturday.
IF Iowa State takes care of business this week, there is no telling how high they can be ranked by next Monday. A lot of top ten teams will be challenged this week.

Interesting because I think by March, the best teams aren't on this list. I could be wrong though.
I'm going with 9. I think ISU jumps Florida this week just because of the zero loses compared to Florida's 2. Same reason ISU will be ahead of both Duke and Okie State.
Tomorrow: #7 Baylor @ #9 ISU @ 6PM on ESPN 2 followed by #4 Ohio State @ #5 Michigan State @8PM on ESPN.
