I don't believe so. We started 3-0 in 2002, and also in 1931. I might have missed something else in there, but I think those are the best starts in conference play.Have we ever gone 4-0?

When was the last time we were 2-0 in conference? I bet it hasn’t happened much.
We have one Brock Purdy, they have none.OSU is a better offensive team, they have 2 every down running backs and we have one.
Well that's depressing.I don't believe so. We started 3-0 in 2002, and also in 1931. I might have missed something else in there, but I think those are the best starts in conference play.
Just like the first game of the year, we never seem to play well coming off a bye. I don't think it helps us. OSU playing Texas the following week might, but if we're 3-0, I don't think OSU is going to be looking ahead.ISU gets Ok State in a good spot too.
ISU is coming off a bye, after TxTech next week.
OSU has Texas the following week, so potential to look ahead.
I said it before when the schedule was released, it sets up nicely for ISU. Basically 1 tough game in each 3 game block. Should be favored in the other 2 in each block.
And before that I believe it was 1983. This is only the second time in the last 37 years that we have started 2-0 in conference (in 2002 we started 3-0, but... don't want to talk about what happened after that).

Ah yes, good catch... I figured I might have missed something while going through all of those season. Thanks for double checking me!I gave you an "Agree," but I checked - did it in 1938, too (Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas).
i don't know why but I fear OSU more than any other team in the league the past few years.

To get into the CFP, a team can only have 1 loss outside a conf. championship game. If ISU makes it to our CCG, there is a possibility we make the CFP. I know everyone is pissed about the Louisiana game, but they are still undefeated and ranked ahead of us in both polls. If they finish their season with only a couple losses, that early L isn't that big a black mark on our resume. Remember they went 11-3 last year and returned a bunch of people. Our out-of-conference SOS will be quite good compared to everyone else. So what I'm trying to say is at this VERY EARLY point in the season, ISU has as good a chance as anyone else of being the Big 12's CFP rep.I think OSU is the team to beat, and the Big 12s best chance at the playoff.
The Red River game will keep the winner in the running along with ISU, KSU and OSU (suck it non-land grant schools)

Keep in mind that if the ties are between more than 2 teams it is a round robin tie-breaker so you could have the tie breaker over one team but lose a round robin tie-breaker...
In a battle between ISU and OU for the second spot, ISU will need to lose THREE if OU wins out.
In a battle between ISU and TCU for the second sport, ISU will need to lose TWO if TCU wins out.

I'M NOT SAYING THIS WILL HAPPEN. But to discard ISU for some other Big 12 team at this point is premature.
