I was just about to respond with your edit. Stupid policy IMO but there is a reason.
New AP Poll

yeah, just looked him up and found his explanations. still seems pretty silly to leave them out completely.
While down four players and relying on freshmen seeing the court for the first time away from home...
Not to mention that apparently we're 2-0 in Big Ten play. Esh.
I would say right now you are right. Iowa will fade though. They always do at around the end of January or February since they are a mid major built team playing in the Big 10
Again, I dont think voters care that much. I think our ceiling is easily that and more but I dont think we deserve it, yet
I'm sure Steve gave Fran a friendly wave as he passed by.
If the committee takes into account our missing players on these two losses (one on a neutral court and one on the road), and we continue to look good, we could be looking at a very nice seed.
Here is ISUs poll tracker.

I didn’t realize all of our votes last week came from one KU writer putting us at 16.

I will be curious to see how the committee accounts for those situations with the implementation of the new Net ranking system though. With the new ranking system I feel like the selection committee is almost backing themselves into a corner as far as seeding and site selection goes. It will be hard for them to justify using the Net rankings for one school but not for another or the weight that it carries in general.
The NPR guy's voting is ridiculous.
We enter and Iowa leaves. Things are back to normal again.
Suspensions and injuries are paying off pretty well....and there's also the cliche about how much more learning can come from a loss.
I voted their ballots down on that site. I noticed that they each had an identical -4 when I got to it so I imagine 4 Cyclone fans got to it before I did.
The computer rankings dynamically adjust over time -- they do not "lock" the quality of your schedule in the past. As Oregon fades, Iowa's SOS fades with them.
#14 in this poll, and a great interview with TH right below our ranking:

I do not value them as much as you do. I think they lose all but maybe one road game and at least 3-4 more at home. That is 10 more losses which means they are 18-13 or so. That probably puts them in the 50+ and I think 65+ range.
