I figured the pundits would have Iowa higher with a returning senior QB, King back, and a favorable schedule.

Prob agree with those 5 ranked accept TCU...their D will be good but their O had big questions.

Welcome to the Show, Coach Campbell!

I figured the pundits would have Iowa higher with a returning senior QB, King back, and a favorable schedule.

Why? They only moved EIU up last year because they didn't lose their easy games. Infatuation with undefeated teams rather than true assessment of quality. Fortunately, the truth emerged and it wasn't so Rosey!

Ha. Anybody else get the ad for Colin Cowherd when they opened this thread? Perfect.

3-2 with losses to OU and Baylor.

Is this where someone says that ISU wins because we are due?:spinny:

 

[KCClone1]

beat 1 out of these 5 ranked teams
beat UNI, SJ St, KU
split these 4 - WVU, KSU, TT, UT
A bowl is definitely possible this year.

This is the year ISU beats the Sooners...Cyclones are due for a win!

Thanks for having my back. BTW, I really enjoyed the first 10 minutes or so of my trip to Norman last year for the game.

Not that I feel bad for them but its crazy Iowa is as low as they are. Sure they coasted by on an easy schedule last year but this year is barely any different. No reason to expect them to not to beat the 8 or 9 teams with losing record they'll play.
