The AP has always done a better job.

No idea how we're still ranked but ill take it. Keep the streak alive!

The AP has always done a better job.

The poll that ranks Iowa highest always does the better job.

No the poll that always does a better job always does a better job. You think CFB coaches poll is crap?? CBB poll is always far worse.

Agree completely, for football as well.

I will say Indiana being ranked is a joke IMO.

They're ranked solely based on their place in the B10 standings despite not having played Iowa, Maryland, MSU, Purdue or Michigan yet. It's actually amazing they've played half a conference season and have exactly 0 wins vs teams in the top half of the league yet still are tied for first. Crazy

Yeah their schedule has been a complete joke this year, even OOC. I mean Stetson has played a tougher schedule thus far. I mean they almost lost to Minnesota twice, that should tell you something. lol.

I wonder if that has EVER happened before? A team being in first halfway through conference play but 0 wins vs the top half of the league... I bet it has not

Yeah, if I had to venture a guess, I'd agree.
