Weakest non-conference opponent *poll*

[mjhavlo76]

Pick the weakest non-conference opponent for Iowa State going forward. I chose Alcorn State, currently 0-4. Although Maryland Eastern-Shore wasn't far behind.

Poll time!

**** Iowa.

 

[mjhavlo76]

The Northern Illinois game is a potential trap-game with the Iowa game looming soon thereafter.

 

[cyclones500]

1. Alcorn State
2. UMES
3. Western Illinois
4. Northern Illinois

When in doubt, go with the SWAC team.

Edit: WIU Leathernecks, sted of EIU Panthers.

Acorn won't beat a D-1 opponent until at least Jan. 1 at Prairie View A&M, and even that's only about 50-50.

 

[HFCS]

I don't like seeing one of our top two farm teams (Marquette and Northern Illinois) on this list.

 

[mjhavlo76]

1. Alcorn State
2. UMES
3. Eastern Illinois
4. Northern Illinois

When in doubt, go with the SWAC team.

Agree in this order. Except it's the Western Illinois Leathernecks next Saturday.

No Iowa? Poll not legit.

 

[Cyched]

I picked Alcorn State. Because Alcorn is not a state.

I think I got them 3 or 4 times on the Mountain Dew caps growing up. Otherwise had never heard of them.

Perennial whipping boy. Voted for them even though I have no idea what they’re like this year.

Also have to factor in that every Husky will be auditioning for their pending transfer here.

Good catch! I feel humbled. I will edit (my ranking remains intact).

Muck fizzou
