1/26/15 Rankings

Re: 1/26/15 Rankings

Duke beat an unbeaten ACC team on their home floor. Not even comparable.

um, okay. of course its comparable. Im not saying its better, or even as big, but to say its "not even comparable" is pointless BCS bias....

Is it comparable to your win against KU? Beating a perennial conference power opponent at home on national tv that is 4 to 5 spots higher than you in the polls? Or is that "Not even comparable" too. Hilarious that you are trolling a panther board though. Yeah, Cyclone fans aren't self conscious or anything.

Keep hating Hoiball. Our resume's are pretty similar though so don't hate too much, say they aren't, but they are. Top 15 ranking, both of our signature wins came at home against a highly ranked team, we both have poor road conference losses. We have both lost road / neutral site games to a 15-18 ranked level team (VCU / Maryland). I would say the only difference now is the un-ranked BCS neutral site games that we each played. You went 1-1, including a loss to a poor SC team, we went 2-0 with 20 blow outs against Northwestern and Virginia Tech. Yeah, that Virginia Tech that led Virginia last week for 38 minutes.

I will await your "no you didn't" response to tell me why I am so crazy in 3...2...1... GO!

Re: 1/26/15 Rankings

I should say this before it gets brought up, the Valley doesn't hold a candle to the Big XII top to bottom.

But, common opponents:

UNI @ Drake - UNI by 24
UNI vs Iowa in Des Moines - UNI by 12

Iowa State @ Iowa - ISU by 15
Iowa State vs Drake in Des Moines - ISU by 29

I wouldn't bet the farm that we would beat ISU, but I would spend a lot of money on a ticket to watch us try

You are the one that brought up iowa state not me. It was obviously a very good win for you guys I'm not downplaying that. I just think its silly that you think it's on the same level as duke beating the number 2 team in the country who is 19-0 on their home floor.

I don't think the iowa game is a good comparison. We played them in their building without a starter and was winning at one point by over 30.

ISU vs UNI would be a very good game (depending where its at) no doubt.

A very fair, respectful response. I can handle that.

I would say "no matter where it's at", it would be a great game. Would love to have seen that matchup this year!

Yes. Even if it would happen in an empty Hilton Coll as a scrimmage, I think it would be very profitable for both teams.
We won't see ISU-like teams until the tourney. And ISU won't see UNI-like teams until then either.

sivert: Where did you see Keeler's name on that Fox article? I saw Reid Forgrave at top and bottom. Is Keeler even with Fox now? Don't know where he went after his DMR days.

Keeler is in Kansas, isn't he?

My mistake. Keeler's article was linked as preview to the game. He is in KC now.

Re: 1/26/15 Rankings

The farther along in the season, the less you drop when you lose to a good team.

And I think the higher ranked for UNI, ISU, and even EIU, the better for all of them. I'm glad for whatever national attention UNI gets and they are likely to get more if Iowa State is getting talked about a lot because UNI will get mentioned along with them.
