If Iowa beats MSU next week do they deserve to be ranked?







NIU should be ranked. They have been getting votes all year. They should leapfrog ND and GT. If Wisconsin, AZ, ASU lose as well they will be ranked IMO.
 












No we don't yet. However, I'll bet we get a vote or two this week and with a win vs MSU we could be very close, followed by a couple of losses by teams at the bottom of top 25 during our bye week, our 5-1 record will put us in that week, if for no other reason than to hype the OSU game.
 




As long as they keep winning the games that they should I could care less if they are ranked. If they keep getting wins the ranking will come.
 


We'll get votes but not break into the top 25. I'll say about 31ish.

But let's just win the game...cause after the bye week...the next 3 will be TOUGH games. OSU looks salty tonight.

Exactly. Gonna wanna build that game up if hawks beat Sparty.
 




Sorry, but the loss to Northern Illinois will keep us out of the top 25 until we beat a ranked opponent. Nothing against Northern Illinois, we know they are good, but beating Purdon't isn't that impressive.
 


I agree with the majority here. The Spartans are not ranked in the top 25 and we haven't beaten an exceptional team, but we should get some votes. I have a feeling we will be ranked this season, just not yet......
