Beat George Mason and we should be ranked next week. GMU isn't great by any means, but 8-0 and only being 5 points short this week should get us in next week.

Yeah good news is we only have 1 game this week and its a winnable one at home. Win that, and we should be in no doubt.

Its important to be in these polls and have your name out there IMO.

And as I mentioned in the other thread, Wichita St. can help us by knocking Utah out this week.

I completely agree this is important from the standpoint of having our name out there and getting us in the minds of the selection committee early.

Still kind of a joke that 3-1 ISU is ranked. USA Today has 3-3 Florida in.

In the words of Jesus from the Big Lebowski; Laughable!

I will be the last person to be mistaken for a hawkeye / cyclone apologist but if you think ISU isn't one of the best 25 college basketball teams in the country you are crazy...

Iowa native Eamonn Brennan doesn't have us in his top 25, I have always felt that he has gone out of his way to shun UNI, and the Valley minus Wichita.

These polls have to be fake. I swore Lakes said NDSU had the best basketball program in the country and I don't see them in either of these polls...

Obviously it's because the Bizzzon would never dream of being associated as a "mid-major". They must be leaving them off those lists in anticipation of the bidding war between the P5 conferences over who gets the mighty Bizon and their juggernaut program. I think either the Big XII or the ACC snags them

Interesting that ISU loses to Maryland, which drops them 8 spots (the largest of the week for any team), yet Maryland is unbeaten and ranked at #22 in the very same poll. Which is it guys; was it a "bad loss" (which the drop would seem to suggest) or not?

Because he's a native, he should show us favoratism? Any native bias pretty much makes his credibility crap in my eyes. Also, the MVC hasn't been very good the last few years, with the exception of WSU and the departed Creighton.

Creighton wasn't good. Doug McDermott was good. Creighton was just along for the ride.

Creighton with the Funks and Korvers..now that was some good Creightons
