Highest ranked 2 loss team. Soon enough, we will jump MSU.

I was thinking the same thing...we just need a few teams to lose, we win out...rose

Jumped 3 spots, that along with a higher computer ranking should be good enough for #15 in the BCS.

ignoring the elephant in the room, one spot behind MSU a day after Iowa beats them by 31 points.

 

[H8IAST8]

I think its fair considering we have 2 losses...

 

[BradBanks02]

That one point loss probably cost us about 11 spots in the poll.

BradBanks02, I think Iowa and Wisconsin would be switched in the polls had Iowa pulled off the victory last week so Iowa would be #7.

 

[BradBanks02]

If Iowa would've beaten Wisconsin they would've been 9 last week, where Wisconsin was. Wisconsin had a bye week and moved up 2 spots passing Missouri and MSU. If we were 9 and beat the 5th ranked team we would've jumped Missouri, MSU, Utah, and possibly Alabama, who also had a bye, getting us to 5.

But it doesn't really matter, it is just kind of heartbreaking.

I think we just need Wisconsin to lose if we win out.

Will be interesting to see where we end up in BCS rankings ... beating the #5 team and the strengh of schedule factor could put us at #14 or #15???
