First time in 7 years but strange that they wouldn't have Iowa State in.
ISU is #21 in AP poll. Iowa is 26th.
AP poll sucks, everyone knows the Coaches poll is a much better poll.
For all the talk of Iowa's weak non-con schedule, and it has been the 5th easiest in ALL of college basketball, they do play Xavier, possibly UTEP/Tenn and Kansas, Notre Dame, and Iowa State on the road. Oh and play in the big boys league of the Big Ten.
Iowa State beat Michigan (who Iowa plays TWICE), play at BYU, and at home vs Iowa. Then play in the Big 12 against Oklahoma State, Kansas, Baylor, and then garbage. ISU's schedule is much easier than Iowa's. ISU has just played 1/3 of their toughest games already. Iowa hasn't played any.
Not that I don't believe you but the link is for week 2 rankings and it shows Baylor as #25.
I don't know why USA Today's website relapsed to last week. It was there before.

They're saying coaches sucks and ballots were filled out before ISU win vs Michigan. No mention of Iowa except they think ISU will be top 15 when Iowa goes to Lames.BOYCOTT THE USATODAY!!! COACHES POLL SUCK! IT'S A CONSPIRACY!
Wonder if I should venture over to cyfan and see if that is really going on. . .

Yup. Just went over there and read it myself. One guy called the coaches poll trash. I guess they could be top 15 in a month when we played them, but so could Iowa. If Iowa has only 1 loss coming into that game(KU) they could also be ranked top 15, undefeated and they should definitely be top 15.
