Honestly not sure why people are all that concerned about the outcome of this game. These bowl games don’t matter at all anymore, it’s just bonus football to watch.
This is such a dumb take. The bowl games usually get more exposure than every regular season game.

By the same logic, like 90% of the games in NCAA don't matter by week 6.

It’s called competition. If the games aren’t important, what’s the point of keeping score? I feel this is an important game for us. Who knows when we’ll get the chance for 11 ever again??

100%. This is the least I have been stressed out about a game in years.

It’s a mixed bag, I certainly didn’t feel good after losing to Memphis. I’d surely feel good beating Miami. It matters getting there and winning given where the P2 are and everyone else is.

Take real good look at the size difference in Miami's receivers vs. ISU's CB's just to start.

He can only do so much.

It’s not like they are mossing our guys. This is much more about wrapping up in the run game.

Because winning is better than losing.
Because being 11-3 is better than being 10-4.
Because having a Pop-Tarts Bowl Trophy is better than not having one.
Because finishing highly ranked is better than being ranked lower.
Because Go Cyclones! reasons.
