I see 5-4 Arkansas has 2 votes, wonder which coaches those came from.

Don't let Relish see this. He roundly ridiculed me a couple of weeks ago for saying the two Oklahoma schools would be in or near the Top Ten when ISU played them.

I'm just amazed that they voted Iowa ahead of LSU. It's almost a game or how many 1 loss teams they can put ahead of us. I also love how they assume a 9-0 team playing in a conference with no defense jumps 3 spots ahead of Iowa.

Kind of interesting that 4 teams in the top ten weren't even ranked in the preseason poll. Shows you how pointless the preseason polls are.

Okie St. gets credit for hammering TCU because TCU was overrated by the very same people who overrated them. Bias is as bias does. Again, this is why we need an 8-team playoff with all 5 conference champs automatic qualifiers. All the politics in this is just stupid. They play the games for a reason. The games should matter, not what a koffee klatch "thinks" should happen.

I like the part where Stanford -- with 1 loss to a team Iowa beat by 30 points on the road -- is ahead of an undefeated Iowa. That's nifty.

Agree. I have no problems with the other teams being ranked ahead of us at this point except for Stanford.

Is that Amway as in the pyramid soap sellers?

And if you go to the Iowa page, they dirtied it up with Iowa State pics.

Okie State was 10th in Coaches poll last week and we were 11. They didn't jump us, they jumped Stanford and Notre Dame.

You're right, my bad. It's the AP poll where OSU was ranked behind Iowa.

Yet they build a strength of schedule around those preseason rankings.. It's absolutely crap

 

[myteamcanbeatupyourteam]

No doubt. What the hell does this have anything to do with Iowa State?

Not pointless; counterproductive.
