ISU #4 in ESPN FPI

I would generally agree, main upside would be that if the big 12 gets respect, we will be ranked higher in general in the future. Also in this scenario we would have already beaten Oklahoma at some point in the season, so we would have a decent chance of beating them, a better chance than beating Clemson or bama probably. So meeting Oklahoma in the title game would have advantages for us outside of just "conference pride" or something like that
Ummmm... won't we have to beat Bama or Clemson to make the championship in your scenario?
And we would more than likely be playing the 1 seed first if we made the playoffs lol.
Unfortunately Iowa State will have to beat them all, including OU twice, to have a chance of bypassing Ohio State for the last playoff spot.

If we're in the title game, I want Bama or Clemson. Let's take down an evil empire.

That too. But a certain “missed” FG still nags at me.
We would likely have beaten them in the first round, yeah. I'm saying that assuming you have already won the first round, I would rather have a team in the championship that I know we could beat.
Yes we would more than likely have had to beat Clemson or bama to get to the Championship in the first place. What I am saying is that assuming you win the first round, I would rather face a team in the Championship that I know we could beat. Sorry I worded things a bit wonky or confusingly.
But yeah, we will have to beat great teams in order to win the championship, not going to have some cupcakes to beat. I hope we live up to our #4 ranking

You don’t think we could beat a team we would have went 1-1 against in this scenario?
Did you notice the refs left the stadium in record time shortly after the "miss."?
I do think we could beat a team we went 1-1 against, that's why I would rather face Oklahoma in that scenario, since we would have beaten them once earlier in the year and so would have a decent chance to beat them in the theoretical championship. Sorry for the confusion, my bad!

Initial glance, I thought it said, "We want Obama!"

I kind of disagree because I'm in "if we're that far, bring 'em all on."
At the same time, I don't really care to disagree, because it's cool that we're even talking about the playoffs as a real possibility, so your version is just fine with me, too.
