Of course, I hope we finish 8-4, blah blah blah. But we should consider the real possibility that Iowa State will get a bowl invitation at 5-7.

Brett McMurphy's bowl projections currently anticipate that five 5-7 teams will be needed to fill the ever-growing number of bowl games. The NCAA typically allows 5-7 teams to participate based on academic progress rate (APR). Only the highest APRs of the 5-7 teams are eligible, so if McMurphy is correct, you would expect the five best APRs of the 5-7 teams to be in bowl games.

Iowa State's APR... is good! It's tied for 17th among the 131 FBS football programs this year. And most of the schools ahead of ISU are either definitely going to be bowling (Clemson, Ohio State) or definitely not bowling (Northwestern, Temple).

Meanwhile, 5-7 might be the most likely outcome for ISU's season, and if we lose to OU, it almost certainly will become a heavy favorite in analytical models for the most likely finish.

What would you think about Iowa State filling in a minor bowl, likely on behalf of a G5 league that could not fulfill its bowl obligations, as a 5-7 team?

I was watching the ESPN Monday Night Countdown. This story obviously has been told several times in our area and our Cyclone Nation. But ESPN got ahold of it and took it to a whole new level.

Win or Lose. David Montgomery: Thank You for being a fantastic human being.

Curious since I've seen a few that ended up on ESPN+. Would love to see the team one extra time early this season. Loved that cyclones.tv used to air them when we used to have all our untelevised games on there. Overall actually, I just miss having Cyclone TV put all those on air in general.

I thought I'd donate my Upside cashback to Wewill, but not sure how to do it. I've been transferring the money to my PayPal account but when I click the donate online button on the WeWill website, there doesn't seem to be a good way to do it.

@brentblum?

His TikTok was hilarious and his role as Beverley Leslie was great on Will & Grace where he won an Emmy for guest actor.

First thing I ever remember him in was a bad comedy movie called Ski Patrol in the early 90s.

Any idea when men's bb tickets will be delivered to account?

If anyone is considering attending this game single game tickets are available on the hawkeye website - but not a ton left.

I have 4 tickets and a B5 Parking Pass for the November 5th game vs. West Virginia. Tickets are on the Iowa State side, North end at about the 30 yard line. Section 6, Row 6, Seats 15-18.

$300 or best offer!!

3 more out but quite a few had to sweat as TCU and Clemson had to rally from double digit deficits. We are now at 42. There are only 6 undefeated teams left. @DarkStar still leads with 10 tiebreaker points but @cowmaster1 and @VikesFan22 are 1 behind with 9 each.

Rules/How to Play if you are new:

1. Pick a team you think will win that weeks game. Pick only 1 team per week.
2. Don't pm me the pick, post on here your pick.
3. You can only pick that team ONCE the entire time you are in the game.
4. The goal is to advance and be the last person standing.
5. Only games that have a FBS school facing another FBS school are eligible to be picked.
6. You have up until the start time of the game you picked to switch.
7. If your team loses, you are out for the competition.
8. If you skip a week of picks, you are out.
9. You can switch as many times up until the game you have picked officially starts.
10. If you have questions, pm me
11. Post 2 of the thread will have the possible games you can pick.
12. Post 3 will have each player and their previous week's picks.
13. You can only pick teams that are undefeated (they will be bolded).
14. You can't join in during the middle of the season.
    Please include prior weeks picks with your pick for the week.
15. If an undefeated favorite wins and covers the spread you gain a tiebreaker point. If an undefeated underdog wins you gain 2 tiebreaker points.
16. There is no tiebreaker point due to a undefeated team winning on the road as that is a tiebreaker in the big 12 elimination game.
17. Have any questions, pm me or ask in the thread. Thanks!

Well done Cyclonitas!!!!

Second at one of the biggest tournaments of the season. Look at they finished ahead of.

Enjoy.

Saw where Iowa City put 79 on them to zero. WTH has happened to that program?

Per his coach. Man that sucks!

Purdy in the game and hit his first pass.

Wife’s siblings are getting an inheritance from the sale of a house. Questions are:

1. Is it easier for one sibling to take entire amount and deposit in their own account or to have the bank issue cashiers checks to everyone? I need to add that taxes and fees have been taken into account already as the house was sold for a substantial amount more than when it was purchased.

2. If the one sibling deposits the check, will that move them into a higher tax bracket. The plan is to disperse it right away to the other siblings. I’m under the assumption that it won’t since it is not considered earned income.

Never been through this before so hence the questions. I’m sure that @isufbcurt have an easy answer for me. TIA!

Cyclones open up a 1 point dog to Oklahoma.

FanDuel just released their B12 title odds

Could be worse like this-
4 safeties in one game

No real surprises here. I thought the military schools would be ranked higher.

See tweets from coaches referring to the WBB team scrimmaging at SDSU. Would have been a good test as they are preseason top 25. Wonder if we will get any leaks on the outcome / stats?

During the bye week, we have the opportunity to do look-alikes for our own team!

Feel free to do look-alikes for anyone with a connection to ISU, past or present! (No politics, please.)

If you'd like to use the team roster, find it HERE! (switch to "list" roster view helps)- but again, any sport, faculty, etc. are eligible.
