USA today has us at #69.

USA Today put out their top 125 today and they have us at #69 and right behind 1-2 Tulsa and several other 1-2 teams. I didn't expect a high ranking but behind Tulsa? They also have ISU aat #89 which seems a little generous given their performances this season.

its a step in the right direction-cracking to top 70

 

[Sirhouseman]

If you were really us, what number are we thinking of right now?

 

[DJL]

69, that's a position I can live with.

Where is Northern Illinois ranked? I'd put Iowa about 10 spots behind them.

That's about where Iowa should be. They got Isu totally wrong. They're a bottom ten team.

Massey has ISU at #94.

This is unfair, they have the toughest schedule in the country. Anyone would be 0-2 after playing UNI and Iowa at home.

A little of topic, but should Isu drop football and focus on basketball? The big 12 probably wouldn't allow that.

Right on the bubble. I bet KenPom has us way higher.

The big 12 can't allow anyone to leave the conference right now, but everyone needs that win on their schedule too badly to let the football program die, so the big 12 schools would vote no.

 

[HawkPrdatr40]

I like the direction this program is heading.

#1 at 69 ...giggity.

 

[SmokeTownHawk]

What a sexy number.

 

[M1911A1Hawkeye]

Moving up.

If the season ended today we are in the big dance. Back. Fact.

Where is Northern Illinois ranked? I'd put Iowa about 10 spots behind them.

I just looked it up. Northern Illinois is #33. They dropped 7 spots from last week.

 

[docholihawk]

By the way, Western Michigan is ranked #120. We have to win this game, a loss would be unbearable.
