4TH In Coaches! Nice

Agree about Kansas loss, but their other two losses are to #9 and #11 and they started with higher respect so it takes longer to change the perception. Our losses are to #16 and two unranked teams. Very close and only 3 points different. To jump 5 points within the top 10 and one of your wins was less than fancy effort against a very bad team, I will take that move every day.
 
If Iowa would happen to lose to Maryland, theyll probably fall about 6 spots. KU gets pounded by an unranked team, doesnt move. LOL

So we have to hold our nose and cheer for ISU this week! :mad: I don't like it but I guess we do what we gotta do!

Go Hawks!
 
The rankings don't matter, except that they do simply because they exist, so yah, Kansas being drubbed by 20 by an unranked team and staying put makes sense. LOL
 
This is not a complaint about Kansas specifically, but I do think what happens in your second game of the week has a bigger impact than what you do earlier in the week in the minds of voters.

So does that mean what happened in November means nothing compared to what happened this week puts Iowa at Number 3 instead of number 4...or maybe number 2? Just using the biased coaches logic in voting!!
 
Guys in Albuquerque and Louisville, to name two, each have Iowa No. 3 in AP. Anybody voting Iowa #14 is too stupid to have a vote. Which, again, shows that there's no sense in getting too concerned about the polls.
 
I look less and less at the coaches poll every year. Half the guys have some random person do it for them, they don't watch all of the games, and they're biased.

AP is the vastly superior poll. I'm curious to see where they rank us. Cannot understand KU above us in rankings or brackets right now. We're higher in Sagarin, our Sagarin SOS is higher, all 3 of our losses were close and to top 50 teams (KU got blown out by #70 just THIS week)

Also, forget about the losses, we have WAY more Top 25 wins. In Sagarin we have 6 Top 25 wins, only one other team has more than 3 (OU with 4), only five - including KU have 3. Our 7 wins against Top 50 is also tops.
 
Iowa is 114 votes from 1st in coaches poll. Wk 11- 114+ from 6th Wk 10- 114+ from 15th Wk 9- 114+ from 20th Wk 8- no votes.
