In the “Hmm, that’s funny” category, this weekend I was making sure that my long list of Iowa State football games vs. ranked teams<\/a> synced with the university’s media guide. It did not. Two read-throughs later, there’s a good reason:\u00a0The numbers were changed.<\/em> Below is a screen grab of the 2012 (left) and 2010 (right) media guides for the 2006 and 2007 seasons.<\/p>\n

As you can see, 2006 Oklahoma has been bumped from 22 to 23, while 2007 Nebraska has had a #25 ranking added. The latter matches up with this chart<\/a>. ESPN also archives polls going back a decade; here’s the poll for 10\/8\/06<\/a>, before the Oklahoma game.<\/p>\n

The kicker is that the final page of the media guide may not have been updated to reflect changes. My list has one too few #13s and one too many #14s compared to the record vs. each number, but 1972 Colorado has been revised to #14 instead of #13. According to the same historic poll tracker used earlier, that revision is wrong<\/a>. (ISU is #18 in both places.)<\/p>\n

Overall, very little changes. It’s not like anything was deliberately hidden. 2011 Oklahoma State remains the only victory against a top-six team. It’s just a little odd that such discrepancies would exist to be addressed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
