ISU Season Prediction - by Confidence

[inCyteful]

It is time to lock on ISU results for the 2021 season.

I like to do this by confidence level (most confident prediction at the top).

Here's my take, let's see what you have to say.

1) UNI (W)
2) @UNLV (W)
3) Kansas (W)
4) @TTU (W)
5) @Baylor (W)
6) @KSU (W)
7) Iowa (W)
8) TCU (W)
9) Texas (W)
10) @OU (L)
11) OSU (W)
12) @WVU (W)

11-1, 2nd place in Big XII (OU will be 11-1 as well (Loss could be to WVU, Texas, OSU or TCU)

CCG OU (L)

ISU vs Georgia in Sugar Bowl (L) Just don't quite have the lines to hang with SEC big boys yet

11-3 Final Record - 8th in Final AP Poll

 

[RonBurgundy]

Looks pretty reasonable to me. I might swap TCU and UT. I hope we really put it to UT at home.

And not going to agree with us dropping two in a row to end the season. Nope.

 

[Beach_Tornado]

Ok St lost a decent amount and I think at home I think we will pull it out. Bit more confident there than Iowa. Same with WVU even tho it’s away

 

[Cyowa 14]

Very reasonable prediction, could convince of swapping uni and unlv, could also see us stomping Georgia in the sugar bowl because of sit outs. Ex Florida last year in the cotton

 

[RustShack]

Iowa State doesn’t lose a game this year.

Not to UNI, not to Iowa, not to Okie St, not to Texas, not to Oklahoma, not to Clemson/OSU, not to Alabama.

OK maybe one loss to Oklahoma in two attempts, and maybe one loss in the playoffs.

Don't hate this either

I try to tamper down my expectations but then I keep going over the roster and its like holy **** we are absolutely loaded. Any media member who scoffs at Iowa state simply hasn't looked at the roster

We are so deep. That will pay off.

After 50 years of ISU football fandom, I just couldn't push it any higher.

I will eat multiple servings of crow if we can do better than 11-3!

0-12. Brock Breece and Mike clearly overrated.

IN THE PLAYOFF

13-3 Final Record - 5th in Final AP Poll

 

[motorcy90]

12-2 (lose to OU once, then the CFP/Sugar bowl)...
though hope for 13-2 (lose the NC game and OU regular season)...
go big or go home...

 

[cyclones500]

Regular season only, using confidence template 1 most to 12 least. Similar to OP early in list.

1. UNI
2. at UNLV
3. Kansas
4. at Tech - could swap with BU, only because where those games fall on schedule - the before and after games.
5. at Baylor
6. at Kansas State
7. TCU
8. Oklahoma State
9. at West Virginia
10. Iowa - thorn in side, want to think differently
11. Texas
12. at Oklahoma

Who are you, and what have you done with the real JM?

I think this is pretty close. I’d swap UNI and Kansas but agree with the rest.

 

[Goothrey]

ISU was 4-2 in games decided by 1 possession last season. What tempers my confidence is that, living on (in?) the margin, the wrong bounce here or there can really affect that record.

Perhaps we should be really confident against UNI, but I suspect my heart rate next Saturday will tell a different story. And with that, I give you no predictions. Hopefully, after a more stable off season, we pick up right where we left off.

Do you even football?

we dont lose two to OU. We also don’t lose to Georgia. No way.

I hope not. If we beat OU and Georgia in same year the party will be on

 

[deadeyededric]

I see 10-3 counting the Big 12 title game
