They don't explicitly say we would end up in the championship but based on their picks and the Big 12 tie breakers we would take the 2nd place spot over Kansas and Kansas State based on head to head record. They have us losing at Utah but playing them again in the ship. I would take these results!

Just give me an ounce of decent O-Line play and I think this is reasonable.

We better just focus on not getting blown out by G5 schools before we go down this road.

We don't need to beat the G5 teams to make CCG!

Exactly. Just ask OSU.

I just want a 10-win season. I have a brother in law Hawk fan who is constantly sarcastically asking me how many 10-win seasons Iowa State has.

I also have a sister that I'm disappointed with.

Getting one now won't change a damn thing to those who use it against us. It'll simply evolve into "you couldn't win 10 games until you were in a glorified G5 conference."

Just ignore those that use it.

I usually retort back with something along the lines of how it must be nice to play in the Big 10 West, but I do agree that it would have been even nicer to get to 10 back when OUT were in the conference.

Yeah, they have Utah at 8-1 and KU, KSU and ISU at 7-2 in conference play (ISU beats both Kansas schools so has the tiebreaker). I will allow it.

I think Clanton will have these guys pissed off and looking for blood. Just a gut feeling from all the reading and interviews.

The talent in Ames looks good but road losses at Ohio & Memphis last year were surprising/disappointing so I need some early season proof. KU @ Arrowhead will be a nice win.

I want a Big 12 Championship appearance with 40k Cyclone fans in Arlington.....I know it was during Covid but man I felt so robbed of an electric atmosphere when we played OU down there a few years ago

The Big 12 is so "horizontal" this year.

 

[KnappShack]

The Big 12 is so "horizontal" this year.

"Competitive balance"

Or as the NFL used to say "parity"

A seasoned Rocco and Abu will make all the difference in the world. That Ohio game was an outlier of weird and unfortunate circumstances.

Has anyone noticed that Texa$ got 8 home games this year? That should not be allowed.

7 home, 4 away, 1 neutral.

So Utah Baylor is a non con correct?

Correct.

Game was scheduled as non-con in 2015-ish.
