According to KCCI, we're actually 13th, guys! Yes!!!
Where Iowa, ISU rank on this week's AP poll | Sports - KCCI Home
The link says 15th so they got that corrected fast if it said 13th before.
Being #15 is probably more of a reflection of what the teams below us did than the fact we lost on the road to the only team since 2007 to beat 3 consecutive Top 10 teams. Looking at the rankings, I'm probably more ****** if I'm ISU. Just beat the #22 team in the country and didn't move an inch and your main rival, who you beat head to head and has more losses is still ranked higher. Sucks to be little bro!
Losing at one of the hottest teams in basketball's home court does not equal a 5 slot drop.
Especially when it was a single digit loss, and you follow that with a 26 point road win.. Even if it is against Northwestern. 5 spot drop = BS.
And don't tell me I'm not supposed to care. This is the type of stuff fans care about! How many articles and posts where there last week about it being Iowa's highest ranking since such and such a date?
Oh well, at least we're still 12th in the coaches poll. Which is about where I felt we should've been in the AP. I was thinking 12-13.

I admit I am disappointed the Hawks dropped this far, I was hoping for a top 10 matchup tomorrow night in Carver something that has not happened since the home game after Chris Street died. But according to the AP we are still the fans of the 15th ranked team in the country. Just 4 years ago on Senior Day the students rushed a court after beating 6th ranked Purdue for the 10th win of the season. It blows my mind how far this team has come in.
My cousin sprained his ankle rushing the court after beating Dayton in the NIT game.
