That's 8 losses right there. Add in the fact that I think KU and A&M will win at Ames and that puts them at 6-10 and in no better than 7th or 8th place. This is a team that has lost home games to EA Sports (exhib. but still) and freakin' Iona by 12. They also squeaked by Bemidji State (an average D2 school) by 7 and UNI by another 7.

I honestly think 6th place is a little more accurate for them. Yeah, they've had those losses and I'm not going to make excuses for losing to Iona. UNI is actually a pretty good team, that should do fairly well overall. I imagine they (UNI) will probably be going back to the NCAA tourney again this year.
I think a lot of the ISU preseason ranking started out with Stinson being a preseason All-American and preseason All-Big 12. He's good, and I love to watch him play, but I know he can't carry the whole team. The team doesn't have a strong person at center and that really sucks.
