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

[HaydenHawk56]

Or do they get some votes?

 

[HawkAttack]

No but N. Illinois will

 

[You]

Nope. Michigan State isn't that good.

 

[H8IAST8]

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.

 

[Saginawbay]

Yes, we do and will be close to top 25!

 

[ShadasRevenge]

No, and I'll make this longer due to length requirements.

 

[GrandpaHawk]

Shhhh Don't jinx us Lets just keep winning

 

[tm3308]

No, and I'll make this longer due to length requirements.

That's what she said.

 

[Bigtenchamp]

not even close... sadly but all that matters in the end is that we keep winning conference games

 

[ColoradoHAWKEYE]

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.

 

[M1911A1Hawkeye]

I'd love to see them get votes but I'll be happy to seem them keep winning.

 

[DP5555]

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.

 

[HawkeyeWalker]

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.

 

[damnfinn]

get votes, yes, deserve to be ranked, no way

 

[metahawk]

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.

 

[jacknicholson]

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......

 

[SmokeTownHawk]

I'm not concerned about rankings at all. Just win the games baby. The rest will take care of itself.

 

[hawkinn3]

I doubt well get votes quite frankly, very weak schedule so far. We go 6-1 then I could see it.

6-1 means we beat OSU. That happens, not only with we be ranked...we'd be 15-20th....and this board goes crazy....
