I think ISU can win their next 4 games. However, I also know they can screw the pooch at a moment’s notice. Therefore, I would like to take a poll on the next 4 games.
Will the Cyclones win 3 of their next 4?
- Thread starter AdRock4Cy
- Start date
Isn’t zero an option? The way this team has played I’d never bet on them against anyone. At the same time…it’s very possible they could rise up and bite someone. Looking at the schedule it had best be this weekend as the three road games are all very likely losses.
The next 5 games are beatable teams but ISU will need to be much more succinct and get some breaks.
Who are we kidding? It'll be a **** show with a split. I think we can take 3. Could definitely win all 4, but it doesn't seem likely to me as we don't have a huge margin for error.

For the most part, the show will come from the same folks with any # of wins in this bunch.
My oh-so-hot take: They're all winnable. We probably won't win them all. Everything y'all are saying about our margin for error is spot on. 1 would be disappointing in the extreme, 2 seems like it might be our limit for no real analytical reason, 3 would be excellent and 4 is just wildly out there fun.
We actually have no room for error, which doesn't bode well for a team that makes lots of errors.
I believe we have the talent to compete with every team but Texas down the stretch. We seem to be figuring some things out on offense, and I trust Heacock to fix what's wrong with the defense.
With such a young team, it feels like a lot of it will be mental. Go 2-0 before the bye week and we can really have some confidence down the stretch. Then 7 wins is achievable.
Go 0-2 or struggle to win one, and the losing will snowball like it did last year.

I think there's some potential for wins out there:
- Baylor is really down this year and we can beat them
- Cincinn, i've seen nothing to think we can't beat them on the road. They got gutted after Fickell left.
- KSU looked terrible last night for much of the game against OSU and lost, we can hang with them
The team that's surprising to me is KU. They are absolutely taking UCF to the woodshed right now. They're good.
We don't have those athletes any longer. So, no. And we still have his coaching. So, no.
Roccotober starts today. Unfortunately, that only guarantees 3 wins because of the bye week.
Was the 1st half of OU a fluke ? If we could play that way this team could do some damage. Or you get the Ohio and win 3-4 game total. I do think we need to go shopping in the transfer portal this offseason to find some contributors for 24.
If Campbell can coach like tonight, we're in most games except Texas.
This team/style beats Iowa and Ohio.
Gotta give credit.
