How could a "major" program be that much concerned about poll rankings? I don't think I've quite seen anything like it. Especially for Iowa State fans, whose teams have won 2 conference championships since the 30's. Talk about a mid major fanbase/program suck in a major conference. How embarrassing.
It's the only part of the year they truly have something to be proud of and hold over Iowa and UNI. We sure as heck know football season is not a fun time for them. The thought that they can't be #1 at something is like poison to some of those people.
I have to say though, that is far from the majority opinion from my experience. A good portion of ISU fans think they should be ranked higher but most of them are still really glad to see both teams in the Top 15 and Iowa sinking like the Titanic
