Don't look now, but next year we add these teams:
Arizona 14-4
Arizona State 11-7
Colorado 14-5
Utah 14-5

So, don't expect a watered down schedule next year or beyond. Have to think we are getting 4 of the top 5 teams from PAC12. (To be completely honest, however, there are a lot of bad, bad teams in that conference. Wow, how did that happen?)

Outside of Arizona I'm not sure where those teams really are vs the big 12, maybe they all got better, it's possible. But man that conference is just not in the same level at all.

The MWC might be just as good if not better to bottom.

So Reddit does the top 25 with throwback logos. Any idea when the ISU logo was used and for what?
I feel like this would be something, possibly a non licensed logo, alternate logo. And would be from the years we were known as Iowa State College, and prior to Cy becoming the mascot in 1954.

So if it is a real logo, I feel it would be somewhere in the 20+/- span from the mid 1930s to Mid 1950s.

My guess is it appeared on something, yearbook, program, ticket, etc, in a time when trademarks and copyrights were not as big of a deal for this type of thing. When logos like this appear to have come to existence more organically than they do now with design firms and trademarks and licenses.

That said I would like to know where this actually came from/appeared. Might be something you can as the people in charge of this post on reddit as to where they got it. And possibly the archives the library etc have.

Edit: Further research it appears to come from this site, but dont know where they got it.

It is possible these are from Art Evans? who did many logos for Angelus Pacific Co. of Fullerton from 1932 until 1977. If not by him they appear to be in that era and style.


There are a lot of old obscure logos there. including:

2nd edit: Notice the logos here:

3rd edit: History of Collegiate Manufacturing co. Possibly the creator of said logos?

The Pac 12 has been impossible to predict. Their NCAA performance has been wildly good or bad from year to year. Years where they flame out and years where multiple teams shock with deep runs.

Only one PAC 12 team (Arizona) in the Top 25. That is pretty crazy when compared to the Big 12.

Color me shocked that Iowa State stayed in the top 25 after losing to a top 20 team on the road... There are a lot of really dumb voters out there that like to penalize schools for that sort of thing.

I’ve checked in on poll tracker throughout the last few years and Wilner is often a hold out with ranking ISU. I’m guessing it’ll take a KU win to get on his radar.
