The Cyclones leap 5 spots in the AP Poll after taking down the #1 Oklahoma Sooners and avoiding a trap in Fort Worth.
Life in the Big 12 is hard. Iowa State was able to gain a game on every team in the conference standings last week by winning twice, as every other Big 12 team suffered at least one loss in the seven day stretch. Things are only getting tougher as well, as the Cyclones face a pair of top-5 opponents in the next six days.
The Oklahoma Sooners remain the nations top ranked team after splitting a pair of road tilts in Ames and Waco.
