Bumped up to 73 after tonight's win, but subject to change as there are still many late games tonight.

Today, after the ISU/Oklahoma game, ESPN showed a 20-22 or more win IOWA team as a bad loss for ISU. Really? A big ten team with at least 20 wins is a bad loss?? Iowa fans can't complain much however, since every time ESPN does hype us, we fail miserably (see football).

It's not even like there wasn't a worse loss they could put there instead (Texas Tech).

Absolutely. Being 4-8 vs RPI top 50 teams sounds a lot better than 3-8.

Plus it moved Iowa state off the bubble. A lot of people claim it's now down to 11 teams for 7 spots.

True. Baylor losing yesterday was good as well in that same vein.

This strength of schedule obsession is past old. A lot of those "quality win" teams are overated. How do you discount a 21 win big ten team because of their schedule strength.. How bout you throw in some analytical thinking here. Maybe Iowa I an incredibaly young team and lost 6 games by under 4 points. How about seeing some of their bad losses were at the beginning of the season and the start of conference play. Then there's the fact they've beat all but two of the teams above them in the rankings.
I may be off on some of my points because I didn't fact check them :)

Virginia losing is awesome for Iowa. Also, if Wisconsin can pull this one off against Michigan that will help.

RPI 76, but a huge jump in Sagarin to 28, also moved up a few notches in the ESPN BPI.
Is there still hope?
