5. Iowa State Cyclones (13-3, 2-1 Big 12)

Last week's games
57-53 vs. Houston
66-42 vs. Oklahoma State

After a cupcake schedule in nonconference play, Iowa State has proved they are legit. The Cyclones played suffocating defense to upset No. 2 Houston, and playing in Hilton Coliseum is always difficult at the peak of the season. Although their offense does raise questions, they have the valor to prevail in close games down the stretch.
